Three days later, news came from the palace that King Chu was critically ill.
He also urgently summoned Yin Chunshenjun and Huang Xie to enter the palace.
Ling Yin Mansion.
After Huang Xie got the news, he hurriedly dressed up and was about to go out, but was stopped by diner Zhu Ying.
He sincerely advised: "Your Majesty, there are unexpected blessings and unexpected disasters in this world. Now you are in such a world of unpredictable blessings and disasters, and at the same time you are serving a
How can a moody king not meet someone who comes unexpectedly?"
These words made Huang Xie confused. At this time, most of Huang Xie's mind was affected by the news that King Chu was critically ill. He couldn't understand it thoroughly for a while and had no intention of guessing. He simply asked directly:
“What is unexpected blessing?”
Zhu Ying replied: "You have been the Ling Yin of the Chu Kingdom for more than 20 years. Although you are only the Ling Yin in name, you actually exercise the authority of the King of Chu. Even your five sons have been separated."
He became the assistant prime minister of the princes.
"The king is very ill now. Once he is completely ill, you will be the prime minister of the young master. And now that the prince is very weak, there is a high probability that you will take charge of the state affairs on the young master's behalf, just like Yin Yin and Duke Zhou at that time.
The same thing, wait until the young master grows up and then let him take charge. Isn't this the same as you going south to become the king and take charge of the Chu Kingdom? This is the so-called unexpected blessing."
This was based on the fact that he did not understand the true identity of the prince. In fact, in Huang Xie's view, the prince was his son. As long as the current King of Chu died, the Huang family would be in charge of the Chu Kingdom.
So Chun Shenjun nodded, stroking his beard and asked: "Then what are the unexpected disasters?"
"Li Yuan is not in charge of the government now, but after the prince ascends the throne, his status will also rise, and he will inevitably become ambitious and become your enemy. Moreover, he does not have military power now, but he cultivates assassins in the palace. Once the king dies, Li Yuan will
Yuan will definitely enter the palace first to seize power, and will kill you to silence you. This is what I call an unexpected disaster."
Different from the previous one, Huang Xie was noncommittal about Zhu Ying's statement: "Then the so-called people who come unexpectedly..."
"It's down there."
As soon as Zhu Ying handed over his hand, Kang said, "As long as you arrange for me to be a doctor and bodyguard, once the King of Chu dies, Li Yuan will definitely enter the palace first. When the time comes, I will kill Li Yuan for you and eliminate this scourge. This is
What I call the unexpected person."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xie waved his hands: "I accept your intention, but please give up this idea quickly. I know Li Yuan, he is a weak person, and I have always been very good to him, so how could this happen?"
How could it get to this point?"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Ying knelt on the ground with a plop, "Please think again!"
"No need to say more, I want to enter the palace as soon as possible to see the king. Come on, help Mr. to rest quickly."
Chun Shenjun flicked his sleeves, walked around Zhu Ying who was kneeling on the ground, and hurried out of the house.
After he left, some servants from the palace came to help Zhu Ying, but he waved his arms away and said, "Oh, if you don't listen to me, your Majesty will be in great trouble! We can't stay in Chu State any longer."
After that, he kowtowed again in the direction Chun Shenjun left, then stood up and left straight away, leaving only a group of bewildered servants there looking at each other.

…
Chu Palace.
The sudden serious illness of King Chu was naturally not a normal phenomenon. It was the result of Li Yuan persuading his sister to cooperate after making the decision.
As a queen, it would be extremely inconvenient to do something to the seriously ill King of Chu.
The reason why Li Yuan was so urgent was that he was forced by the water shortage, and also to catch Huang Xie off guard.
Now that Qin and Chu are at war, Huang Xie, as the Ling Yin in charge of state affairs, devotes almost all his energy to paying attention to the war. However, a person's energy is limited, and his sensitivity to other aspects has naturally dropped a lot.
For example, right now, while Huang Xie hurried to the palace, he was still thinking about how to deal with it if King Chu really died, so as to avoid turmoil to the maximum extent and not affect the war on the front line as much as possible.
In other words, at least, this news cannot be allowed to spread randomly, causing morale chaos among the frontline troops, and thus being robbed by the Qin State.
But what he never expected was that when the carriage approached the Thorny Gate outside the King of Chu's palace, a large group of assassins with swords suddenly appeared out of thin air and began to massacre his accompanying guards without saying a word.
Huang Xie was not prepared for this at all. Firstly, he did not believe that someone could actually assassinate him in Chu State. Secondly, he had really not had time to pay attention to this aspect recently and had neglected it.
Seeing the guards beside him fall down one by one, he suddenly thought of Zhu Ying's advice while panicking, and not only looked up to the sky and sighed:
"I regret not listening to Zhu Ying's words, or God will destroy me!"
Although Huang Xie, who has been pampered for many years, has a famous sword hanging on his waist, it has long lost its role other than decoration.
At this moment, suddenly there was a continuous sound of "rustling".
Huang Xie turned around and saw that at some point, a group of people in blue attire appeared outside Thorny Gate. They did not intrude, but kept shooting water arrows outside to block the masked men wielding swords.
assassin.
"Lord Ling Yin, go this way!"
Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice sounded in Huang Xie's ears. He followed the sound and was immediately overjoyed, "Mr. Wu!"
The person who came was none other than Wu Tong.
Xuanjian wanted to make meritorious deeds by dealing with the Chu State, so he naturally reported it to Chi Yao in advance. After all, the Chu State was now the foundation of the Chi family school, and he could not make the decision on his own by rashly causing turmoil.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Yao simply sent Wu Guo to personally control the situation, so as to achieve the goal of allowing Xuan Jian to make meritorious deeds without overly weakening the Chu State.
This may seem like a polar opposite, but it’s not that you can’t have both.
So Wu Tong put everything together and decided on the current action plan.
In order for Xuan Jian to achieve meritorious service, something big must happen in Chu State, even something big enough to affect the morale of the frontline troops. But the bottom line is that Chu State must not be in chaos!
This requires a Dinghai Shenzhen who can calm the situation.
Looking at the current state of Chu, apart from Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen, this figure is not considered to be the second person.
This analysis makes it clear that there are only two things Wu Tong has to do:
First, in the early stage, Li Yuan, or anyone else, was allowed to do whatever he wanted to cause chaos in the Chu State. This was a condition for Xuan Jian to make meritorious deeds.
Second, in the later stage, no matter what, we must protect Chunshen Lord Huang Xie from death or even any harm, because as long as he is around, Chu will not really be in chaos.
As Zhu Ying, a diner under Huang Xie's family, said, he has been the Ling Yin for more than 20 years, and he actually exercises the power of the King of Chu. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the King of Chu is gone, as long as Huang Xie is there, he will be replaced by another King of Chu.
It won't hurt your muscles or bones.
But if Huang Xie is gone, no one can save the situation.
Just relying on Li Yuan, could he suppress so many feudal lords in Chu State who were doing their own things? Can he suppress the general Xiang Yan who was leading the army abroad?
