After waiting for many days, Shen Douke couldn't wait any longer. He summoned Cui Ming again and showed the military order sent from Yangzhou Kuaima: "Three thousand Wu troops have passed Tongshui and will attack Jiuzi."
Cui Ming was surprised: "It's coming so fast. Who is leading the army?"
Shen Douke said: "This is Young Master Zhu Yong."
Cui Ming thought deeply: "Isn't this Mr. Guang the one coming? If so, don't be afraid of him. Mr. Guang has a reputation as a virtuous man. Linzi has said that he has the magnanimity to tolerate the world. He is courageous, decisive and unassuming. When I see you next time, I will avoid it if I can...
...As for Zhu Yong, there are also comments in Linzi that he is indecisive and hesitant to act forward and backward, so it is difficult to achieve great things."
This is the background and vision of the children of Linzi's wealthy family. They can comment on the world's figures at any time. Shen Douke was very satisfied with this and said: "Having said that, the three thousand swordsmen of the Wu army are all elite and invincible. The king has issued an order to Yangzhou
, dispatched troops from Yangzhou to the east to aid Jiuzi, Zhou Yin said, I will lead the army to the expedition."
Cui Ming said happily: "It's a good thing. After the war, the merits will be rewarded, and the military merits should be divided among them!"
Shen Douke said: "I can't delay here any longer. I've been waiting for three days, why hasn't Zuo Bo come yet?"
Cui Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know this."
Shen Dou Ke asked: "Can Shen Wu be taken away by force? Should I directly convict him of possible crimes?"
Cui Mingdao: "The jade ruler has failed to test the elixir. If there is no one to prove it... Such a strong move is not done by a wise man. Zuo disciple, you must know that although the four countries are small, they are still countries. If you really go to Yingdu, you will know how the king will do it."
meaning?"
Shen Douke thought for a long time and said, "Is it possible for you to spread the rumors?"
Cui Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Zuo Tu doesn't know that Shen Wu has a very high reputation in Shangyong. Rumors are of no use to him. He falsely accuses him of refining bad elixirs. Who dares to say this? He may be beaten to death by Shangyong people in the streets.
.”
Shen Douke sighed: "He is indeed a good alchemy master. He even refined the Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill. This shows that he has been passed down by Gao Zhen, the envy of our disciples. I have kept this matter secret from Zhou Yin and your disciples, but they
Sooner or later you will know...it's a pity that you have bad character and can't be used by me..."
Cui Ming asked: "What can Ruzhi do?"
Shen Douke thought for a while and said: "Continue to investigate the whereabouts of Zuo Bo... Why do you think he didn't come?"
Cui Ming guessed: "There are only two options. Either he is reluctant to part with the money for selling fake black ginseng pills and fled with the money, or he is a kid from a rich family and is afraid of the pain of prison... maybe a combination of both?"
Shen Douke sighed: "Are we really stupid people with narrow vision? Can't we think about the long term? People from the four countries are like this. No wonder they were defeated by our great Chu and moved to this remote place... Wait for one more day
, if he doesn’t come yet…”
"What should it be?"
"Shen Wu cannot be used by me, nor should it be used by the four countries!"
"This...Shen Wu is a corporal of Young Master Qingyu's family. If he is forced to expel him, it will probably cause controversy in the world."
In these days, you can use various tricks below to let other customers change their families, but you can never make it public, let alone openly ask other family owners not to accept money, or expel the customers. This is against the rules. Today you are in the first grade of junior high school.
, tomorrow other families will do fifteen. This is something that shakes the foundation of all officials. If spread, it will cause public anger. Shen Douke, who breaks the rules, will never be able to gain a foothold in Chu State.
Of course Shen Douke knew it, and sneered: "I'm not that stupid, of course I have my own way!"
Shen Douke waited another day amid hesitation, but still did not wait for Zuo Bo to surrender, so he finally made up his mind and proposed to pay a visit to Yong Hou.
Yonghou has been lying on the bed for several years. In fact, he is on the verge of death. He is dying and depends on the elixir for support. The life and death of a king of a country, even if he is a vassal, is a big deal for the Chu State. Shen Douke's request for a visit is reasonable and reasonable.
middle.
The two young masters of Yongguo, Qingyu and Chengshuang, appeared together and accompanied Shen Douke into the palace.
Shen Douke paid a courtesy visit to Marquis Yong as a foreign minister, raised the curtain and looked at him. Seeing Marquis Yong's face haggard and his eyes scattered, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, a foreign minister has come to visit."
Yonghou narrowed his eyes and said with all his strength, "It's time for you to work."
Shen Douke asked: "Your Majesty, you look good."
Yonghou said: "Zuo Tu was joking. My life is about to end, and my illness is incurable. I don't have many days left. I just try my best to hold on. I just remember that the envoy from the kingdom has not arrived yet, and I am afraid that it will be rude to leave, so I am worried and dare not go ahead.
Trend."
Shen Douke thought about it, carefully weighing his words and sentences: "Qu Yin once said that when a king is in charge of government, he should handle it according to virtue and do it according to his ability. This can be said to know etiquette."
Marquis Yong was silent for a moment, coughed a few times, and said, "Thank you so much, Zhou Mu, and thank you so much, Zuo Tu. I cough. I'm so ashamed of myself."
Shen Douke smiled and said: "Everyone in the world knows your contribution to Dayong Sheji, so how can you not deserve it? I just don't know that future generations can continue your virtues?"
Marquis Yong asked: "Is there any way for Zuo Tu to teach me?"
Shen Douke lowered his head and said humbly: "How dare you say anything? Now that I know your Majesty's feelings, I will report them to the capital of Ying. Please take care of yourself."
After saying this, he retired and returned from the palace.
Shen Douke visited Yonghou as an envoy of Chu, commented on Yonghou, and mentioned his descendants, his intention is clear.
That night, the young master came to the post in pairs and had a long banquet with Shen Douke.
On the second day, Prince Qingyu invited Shen Douke to go hunting and did not return until late in the evening.
Sima Yuan Dynasty went to the residence of Prince Qingyu to inquire. Qingyu said: "Today I went hunting, I tried it with words. The Chu envoy looked around and talked about him, but he said that the general would lead the army to conquer Wu. He said that the swordsmen of the Wu state were the best in the world. He was worried about a big war.
At the same time, the soldiers were seriously injured and their morale was probably greatly reduced. They also said that if there were alchemists accompanying the army, it would boost their morale."
Yuan Sima said: "It's not like there are no alchemists in his Chu army. As far as I know, there are several in Yangzhou." He suddenly realized: "He wants us to have alchemists? He wants to apply for alchemists?"
Young Master Qingyu nodded: "It depends on whether we are sensible."
Sima Yuan was furious: "How can it be reasonable to seize other people's followers by force? The young master should be the capital of Shu Ying!"
Young Master Qingyu said: "He never said it clearly, let alone Alchemist Shen. He said it was a robbery, but there is no evidence."
Yuan Sima was startled and asked: "What are the conditions for the pair?"
Young Master Qingyu said: "He said the same thing to me and my brother."
Yuan Sima said: "Unfair!"
Of course it's unfair, Wu Sheng is Qingyu's disciple, Qingyu is reluctant to give it to him, but he is willing to give it to a couple. Everyone can do the thing of being generous to others without the slightest difficulty.
Sure enough, on the next day, Lu Sikong and Zhong Situ both came to visit the young master Qingyu and mentioned the Chu envoy's request, hoping that Qingyu would serve the country's interests and fulfill Shen Douke's wish to send Shen Danshi to serve in the Chu army.
Yuan Sima scolded from the side: "What a joke, you disciples, if I ask you to offer it, will you be willing?"
Zhong Situ said: "If it is for the sake of the country, I will fulfill your wish."
Yuan Sima said angrily: "My guest, my guest, my distinguished guest, are you willing? Are your distinguished guests willing to change the court?"
Lu Sikong said: "If this generation doesn't understand the general situation, I will drive them away."
Yuan Sima was furious and said: "If these words of yours spread, no one in our country will dare to join my sect from now on!"
Zhong Situ and Lu Sima prostrated themselves: "Young master, this is just this one time, and it won't be the same in the future. I sincerely ask you to let him go."
Young Master Qingyu turned pale and walked away.
