Fuji [Four Beauties]

"What's Doctor Fan's opinion?" Gou Jian asked.

"Let the tiger go back to the mountain, but one must not be the other. If the king goes to Wu country again, it is very likely that he will not be able to come back."

Is not this nonsensical?

A group of officials who stretched out their ears, wanting to hear his speeches, were secretly disappointed in their hearts. Everyone understands the truth.They had been arguing for a long time before, and this was what they were talking about, and they needed him, Fan Li, to repeat it?

"Everyone, please listen to me. I have a better way. I can borrow food from the State of Wu without your majesty personally taking risks. The State of Yue is facing a severe drought, which is a natural disaster. It is necessary to ask the State of Wu for help. It's logical. Due to various actions in the past, Fu Chai is not too vigilant towards the Yue Kingdom. In other words, the possibility of him agreeing and refusing is [-]/[-]. At this time, it depends on what the people under his command say. Everyone knows that Wu Zixu of the state of Wu has always regarded the state of Yue as a serious problem, and wished to destroy the state of Yue as soon as possible. If he heard the news, he would definitely do everything possible to let Fu Chai attack the state of Yue and destroy them. So , before borrowing food and grass, Wu Zixu must not be informed of this in advance. In addition, he must try his best to win over Fucha's favorite minister, Dazai Bopi. Bopi is a greedy and lustful person. If you want to win over him, it is nothing more than money. Two words. Now that the country of Yue is in severe drought, it is natural that we can’t get money and treasures. However, in terms of women’s sex, what we can do is another matter. As long as we choose from the group of women from the country of Yue Give some to Bo Pi, and Bo Pi will naturally do his best for us and say good things in front of Fu Chai. In this way, the possibility of Wu Guo lending food to us will be greatly improved."

After hearing Fan Li's words, everyone just woke up like a dream, and felt that what he said was very reasonable.After some discussion, the discussion temporarily came to an end, and Goujian still hadn't made a decision.

After the officials attending the meeting left, Goujian left Fan Li behind.

"Just now, you still have something to say, can you say it now?"

"Your Majesty is wise! Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"You and I have shared weal and woe for many years, what can be said straight to the point, it doesn't have to be like this."

"...Your Majesty, please forgive Fan Li for speaking bluntly. Have you heard about the confrontation between Zhou and Zheng?" Fan Li looked at Gou Jian with torch-like eyes.

With just this sentence, Gou Jian understood what Fan Li meant.The so-called interrogation between Zhou and Zheng refers to the event that Zhou Tianzi and Zheng Guo exchanged the prince as a hostage. It was a major event that caused a sensation in the world during the reign of Zheng Zhuanggong.It was this incident that pulled Emperor Zhou down from the highest altar and broke the supreme authority of Emperor Zhou.It opened the curtain of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, the vassals' hegemony, and also opened the era of the decline of Zhou Tianzi's power and his existence in name only.

"Are you asking the widow to send the wife and the prince to Wu as hostages?"

"I don't dare. It's just that I have another sentence. There is only one country in Yue, and you have only one king."

Fan Li's words are quite like the rhetoric of pedestrians at that time.Pedestrian rhetoric, that is, diplomatic rhetoric, is implicit but not explicit. As for the real meaning, you have to experience it yourself.What Fan Li said means that if you don't have a wife, you can remarry, and if you don't have children, you can have another child.However, the country of Yue is gone, and the life is gone, but nothing is left.

After a few meaningful words, Fan Li took his leave and left.Even if he is Goujian's confidant, some words and things are especially taboo.He himself knew very well that when Goujian was employing people, he naturally didn't care about anything.It's just that in the future, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a time to settle accounts after autumn.The so-called monarchs and ministers, the so-called trust, are very fragile things.Walking on the rope called politics, if you are not careful, there will be disaster.Be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and leave room for everything, this is Fan Li's principle of life.

After Fan Li left, Gou Jian fell into deep thought.Fan Li's suggestion really touched his heart.Since ancient times, exchanging hostages has been a common occurrence.Only the king's wife and children have always been hostages, and there is no reason for the king to take risks himself.If he dies, all the hegemony will be forgotten.For the sake of the country, he could not be benevolent as a woman, so he hesitated.

After thinking about it for a few days, King Goujian of Yue made the decision to send the crown prince to Wu.He adopted Fan Li's opinion and sent Fan Li as the deputy envoy of the mission.And sent someone to pick a batch of girls from the Yue country and take them with them.

However, Goujian still had some reservations, he didn't directly ask his wife to go with him.He knew that as long as the prince was going, Mrs. Jun would definitely not refuse to go.It is better to let her open the mouth on her own initiative than to send her.Sure enough, everything went as he expected.After learning the news that the prince was about to go to the state of Wu, Mrs. Goujian immediately said without hesitation that she would go with her.Goujian once stopped Mrs. Jun, but of course he didn't.

After deciding on the strategy of sending an envoy to the state of Wu, he went to select the officials who would pay tribute to the beauties of the state of Wu, and went to the place where the girls of the state of Yue lived.Because it was just a gift to Fu Chai's favorite minister, not a tribute to Fu Chai.Therefore, the selection was naturally not the top batch, and Song Ci was naturally not among the candidates.

Hearing this news, all the girls from Yue State were very scared.They had only been in the mountains for more than half a year, and they were suddenly sent to Wu country without any psychological preparation, and all of them were in tears, which was hard to accept.

The officials who came to select them felt very embarrassed when they saw them crying like weeping people.Of course, the embarrassment for him was not that he felt that he had become a villain.Those who engage in politics, if they still have this bit of conscience, they would have been eaten to the bone long ago.What troubles him is that these Yue girls are like this now, and they are reluctant to go to Wu.Maybe, instead, it will be self-defeating and screw things up.Out of this consideration, the official reported the situation to Goujian.

After hearing this, Gou Jian was also a little undecided.

When selecting these Yue girls, they deliberately selected some girls whose parents and relatives were still alive, or whose relatives died in the Wuyue War.The purpose is to have something to catch, so that those girls who are selected will not betray the Yue Kingdom, either for their own relatives or for revenge.In this situation, even if those girls have no intention of betrayal.But everyone is full of sadness, as if they are mourning their concubine, how can they complete the task well?

Just when Goujian was in a difficult situation, the initiator of the beauty trap, doctor Wenzhong, gave him a plan.From among the Yue girls, select some who are weak in character, or young, and have relatives at home.Give their father and brother an official title, and let these girls go to Wu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. What we need now is not a beauty who can captivate Fucha for a long time, but a beauty who can tempt that lustful Bo Pi for a while. As long as he can tempt him, he will do it for her." We use it. As for how long he can maintain his interest after getting these girls, this is beyond our consideration. If he can maintain a long-term interest in some of those girls, then we can, from him Get more news and help there. It will not hurt us to cross the country."

Gou Jian was moved by Wen Zhong's words, and he immediately asked people to choose according to the standards Wen Zhong said.After picking it up and down, it jumped onto the head of the little fish.As I said before, Xiaoyu is the youngest among this group of Yue girls. Her parents are still alive, and she has two older brothers.If personality factors are excluded, she is very in line with Wen Geng's standards.

Unexpectedly, Song Ci asked Gou Jian a difficult problem, but Fan Li stopped her and threw her an even bigger problem instead.If the chosen person is someone else, Song Ci is fine, because he is not familiar with them and his relationship is not that deep.After all, people are different from each other, so there is nothing to say.But now, the one chosen was Xiaoyu who had a very good relationship with her, which made her unable to sit idly by.

How to do?

To change the mind of the officer in charge of the selection?This idea is okay, but it's too late, the list has already been reported to Goujian.If you want to change, you can only go to Goujian.Song Ci would never go to Gou Jian with this idea, she wouldn't be so stupid to make a cooked duck and deliver it to her door.

Let the little fish escape?She couldn't do this kind of thing by herself, how could a little fish so much younger than her do it?

Resolutely refuse to go, resist desperately?This is even more stupid, not to mention Xiaoyu has relatives, if Goujian and the others threaten Xiaoyu's relatives, the result can be imagined.

Pretending to be sick?How can there be such a coincidence?Xiaoyu is usually in good health, and he hasn't even had a cold after being here for so long.Now it happens to be sick, and any fool knows there is a problem.

After thinking about it, these methods are not feasible, which really makes Song Ci very entangled.Yue Nu saw Song Ci's every move, and she wanted to help Song Ci very much.It's a pity that she has no talent in this area, and she really can't help.

"Or, I'll go and tell Goujian to let him keep Xiaoyu and don't send him away. I think he will always give me this face."

Indeed, Yue Nu is now the head coach of the soldiers of Yue State.The improvement of the combat effectiveness of Yue soldiers depends on Yue women.Of course, Gou Jian dared not ignore Yue Nu's request.Besides, it's just another person.Whoever goes to the state of Wu doesn't have much impact on Goujian.

What Yue Nu said moved Song Ci very much.She struggled all night, but still refused.

"Why, do you have a better way?"

"It's not Xiaoyu, there are others. I can't use other people as a shield to prevent Xiaoyu from going. Also, the girls who live here will be sent to Wu country sooner or later. It's just a problem."

"...Then what do you want to do?"

"It's very simple, I'll go find Goujian."

"What are you going to Goujian for? Are you going to beg him?"

"No, of course I won't ask him."

"Why is that? You clearly know that he has bad intentions for you."

"Don't worry, I'm not looking for him to throw myself into a trap. I just want him to send me to Wu country."
