Changshan Mountain is in the northeast of Xiaoshan Mountain, with a narrow mountain shape and lush forests.
On this day, when night fell, a fire suddenly appeared on Changshan Mountain, which was the autumn ripening season, the sky was dry and dry, and the fire spread rapidly, illuminating the mountain. Fortunately, many people immediately pounced on the mountain to fight the fire, and at the bottom of the mountain was Xiang Lake, and the water was very smooth, and the fire was gradually extinguished.
There was a stone house in the hill, and the Yue King furrowed his brows and listened to Fan Li reporting: "Great King, the fire has been extinguished." There was nothing to lose, just the grass that the king had worked so hard to plant for a year, and it was time for the harvest to be harvested, and he burned a lot of seeds for it..."
"Gou Jian" snorted, ordered to immediately find out the cause of the fire, and quickly reported to the police. Since Wu Guo returned from prison, he has lived on this mountain, and his wife has a thorny cloth skirt and cultivates the field to weave cloth. He also coarsely clothed and went to the mountains to cut down trees and reclaim fields, which, unlike ordinary people, did not grow grain or vegetables, but were full of grass. At first, the vietnamese people thought that these grasses were used to make horse grass, but the horses did not like to eat this kind of hairy weed. Like other mountain people, Gou Jian did not squeeze the grass dry like other mountain people, but instead picked a large number of seeds. No one knows what idea he came up with. Since being imprisoned by Wu Guofu for three years and giving fu cha a groom every day, his temperament has become more and more peaceful, but his handling of things has become more and more unconventional.
Fan Li stepped up his pursuit, still had no clue, and three days later it was still that large grassland, and a fire broke out again! Fortunately, this time the sergeants were prepared, and the fire was quickly extinguished, with no losses. Another big bonus was that the thieves who set fire to the fire were caught! A skinny woman with a clear eyebrow!
The King of Yue ordered his attendants to let go of the arsonist and asked her why she had set the fire. The woman stared at the hook with hatred and suddenly shed tears. Gou Jian waited quietly for the woman to speak. The woman stretched out her arms to wipe her tears and said, "The great king is the king of a country, who has been humiliated and raised horses in the kingdom of Wu, and after returning to China, he does not think of exerting himself to rule, sends troops to cut down Wu, and every day he will hide in the mountains to plant grass for fun, and the people's daughters will be humiliated for their fathers and parents!"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Li and Wen Zi, who were guarding next to them, were a little surprised. The hearts of these Vietnamese subjects, for many years, who know that there is a folk woman who says it! Then the woman told her story. It turned out that she was a native of Changshan, with a fang name of Qi Mei, and was nineteen years old. Qi Mei's father and two brothers were both soldiers, who followed Gou Jian to attack the State of Wu five years ago and died together in the rebellion. Qi Mei kept filial piety for her father's brother for three years, and day and night bitterly hoped that the Yue King would cut down Wu and avenge his relatives, but when she saw that this emperor had no intention of sending troops, she really refused to give up.
Fan Li and Wen Zhong pleaded with Qi Mei together, hoping that the king would forgive her. Gou Jian waved his hands and said, "King Wu didn't kill me, and put me and the princess back to YueGuo. You women don't understand state affairs, and I don't blame you. Your father is dead and homeless, isn't he? You stay by my side, waiting for the princess. ”
Fan Li and Wen Zhong were taken aback, this woman was indeed beautiful and spoke smartly, but she had a grudge in her heart and was very dissatisfied with the king, in case there was something wrong with it? The two dissuaded them together, helplessly practicing that they had already seen their intentions and said that it was too late to say anything. The frown did not expect this ending, and was silent for a moment, and also acquiesced.
At that time, Gou Jiangui was the king, but there was not even a handmaiden named Princess around, and the palace was in a grassy field on the Long Mountain, and that place was a small grass hut, and there was nothing long in that room, only the princess was on a bench, and she didn't know what it was for. When Qi Mei saw this, he also put aside his hatred and followed the princess every day, raising silkworms and working hard. After a while, Qi Mei found that every time before eating, the Great King of Gou Jian had to lick the gall hanging on the table a few times. Once, when no one was there, she also raised her head and licked it, and a bitter taste immediately came from her tongue, causing her to spit and drink water to rinse her mouth, but the bitter taste was still circling in her mouth. Just as the princess came in, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw her like this: "Qi Mei, are you stealing the king's treasure?" ”
Qi Brow smiled and knelt down. "The Queen forgives her sins! The servant looked at the thing as a pig's bitter bile, but he didn't know why the king was licking it before the meal, so he dared to try it...
The empress smiled and pulled her up, saying, "The Great King has lived in the Wu Palace for three years. Feed the horses for King Wu and know everything. Once King Wu fell ill, and the king did not hesitate to taste his fecal disease for him, and he was loyal. King Wu was moved, which magnified the king's return. The hateful Wu Zixu tried his best to obstruct before leaving, falsely accusing the king of ill-intentions, but fortunately King Wu did not pay attention to him. But after the king tasted the dung, he fell ill and was disappointed. Long cure, this is the formula given by Lang Zhong, lick the bitter bile for a short period of time before eating every day to temporarily restore the sense of taste...
Qi Mei was taken aback and said for a long time, "It turns out that the Great King has suffered this disgrace in the Kingdom of Wu!" So why didn't he inspire shrewdness to avenge the Kingdom of Wu? That was also the slave's wish
The empress quickly covered her mouth, shook her head, and said, "The Great King treats King Wu like a biological father, the best sacred wood produced on Xiao Mountain in recent years, the good fish produced on Xiang Lake, and the first beauty of my country, Xi Shi, is to treat it as a biological father." The grain cloth produced by Wu Guo is purchased at twice the price of other countries. King Wu's heart can be seen! If you talk nonsense like this again, it will make the king angry, and I will not be able to save you
Not false at all. Qi Mei was young and beautiful, and after leaving with the princess, the courtiers all thought that Gou Jian valued her beauty, and the princess also intended to match, but Qi Mei repeatedly wanted to get close to her, so she refused. In the Yue King's palace, no one dared to speak out against Wu Wangfu's disrespectful words, otherwise he would be whipped.
After a few months, Gou Jian was drinking with his courtiers in the military tent, and the military tent suddenly caught fire, and the wind and waves were very large that day, and the tent was also flammable, and the wind helped the fire to burn rapidly. Gou Jian escaped from the big tent under the escort of the guards, and in the darkness of the night, the soldiers did not know that the king had escaped from danger, and they were still rushing into the sea of fire, and the soldiers in the night did not know that the king had escaped from danger, and they were still rushing into the fire, and Gou Jian's face was sad!
The sergeants soon discovered that it was Qi Mei who had set the fire, and Gou Jian ordered her to be imprisoned in a stone prison, and specifically instructed the jailer not to let her escape under any circumstances, let alone die, and the offender's entire family was beheaded.
The next morning, Gou Jian gathered his subordinates, counted the years of resentment of the Wu kingdom and the humiliation suffered in the wu country, and when it came to the excitement, the courtiers and soldiers were all stunned, some of them were in tears, they raised their hands in greeting, some were in tears, they raised their weapons and swore an oath, vowing to be ashamed of the great king! Among the grain and grass carts of the army, there is a small part of the secret, which is the seed of these grasses. Gou Jian found that these squeezed oil seeds and rice were mixed together and cooked, which would make people exhausted and mentally multiply after eating.
It was in March of Yangchun that Gou Jian led the army to cut down Wu, and the generals were not afraid of death, and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and soon defeated the Wu army, and the Wu state took the initiative to attack. In the following nine years, Gou Jian repeatedly cut down Wu, and finally in 473 BC, wu Xue shame was destroyed, and Wu Wangfu almost committed suicide.
In the nine years of this wu dynasty, the Yue King's Palace has been built and is luxurious and spectacular. The beautiful women in the Yue King's palace are like clouds, and there are endless beauties who are sent into the palace for the Yue King to enjoy.
Feasting on the ministers in the main hall, he ordered his subordinates to bring their eyebrows together. In the cold stone prison, she had been imprisoned for nine years.
Inside the hall, the crowd is full of people, the lights are brilliant, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of jiushan mountain. Everyone indulged in the ecstasy of victory and drank and rejoiced.
Qi Mei stood above the main hall, his teeth clenched his lower lip, and his face was as pale as snow. She had seen the signs that the Kingdom of Wu had perished, and that the former prisoners of the ranks were celebrating victory.
Above the main hall, Gou Jian calmly looked at the prisoner below and said, "Qi Mei, you husband sent a traitor to my side, your country has perished." King of all worlds, now it's me hooking! "I owe it to you for my revenge to be so beautiful!"
Qi Mei said softly, "Yes." My righteous father Wu Zixu had already seen that you had a conspiracy, but unfortunately the king was deceived by you. In order to understand the bitter heart of the righteous father, I came to The Kingdom of Vietnam alone, trying to get around you and want to know your conspiracy, but unfortunately your husband and wife went too far in drama. I saw the penis seeds you collected, and guessed that you were lying on your stomach and tasting the guts, what taste failure, but it was just to motivate the effort, such a person is a big problem sooner or later! When I found out that you kept sending the Shenmu Beauty to the Kingdom of Wu, I guessed that your heart was dancing wildly, but unfortunately I didn't burn you to death, and I couldn't repay my righteous father! ”
Gou Jian laughed and said, "I have been humiliated in Wu Kingdom for three years, and I have never trusted anyone in this world!" Therefore no one knows my true heart, including my princess! Yes, she's dead today! And your righteous father was sent to die ten years ago! There are still human heads hanging on the city gates, and your fathers and daughters are still loyal and filial, but unfortunately they are serving a tyrant!
Qi's eyebrows shook, and two lines of tears went straight down. So she turned to face Wu Guo's direction and knelt on three heads. At this time, he said to Gou Jian, "I would have been an orphan girl, and if I didn't have a righteous father, my life would have been where I am." Now that the righteous father has sacrificed his life for the country, Qi Mei is not talented, and he is willing to accompany the righteous father to martyr the country, but only asks the king to bury me in the border of the Wu kingdom, and I am grateful!
Having said that, Qi Mei calmly walked toward the outside of the temple, silent.
One person left the front desk, but it was Fan Li. The king said in a loud voice, "Great King, the subjects have helped the Great King to avenge the shame." The heavens have been decided, and the minister asks to resign and return to his hometown, to be a fisherman to sail the five lakes, and to ask the king to approve
Gou Jian was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect him to say this. Fan Li was secretly happy in his heart, his talent was amazing, sooner or later he stayed by his side, it was better to agree to him by the way. He immediately played it and asked him what else he needed. Fan Li pointed to Qi Mei, who was still walking, and said, "Please ask the Great King to give me this Wu girl." ”
Gou Jian casually agreed, and Fan Li drank three glasses of wine and walked out of the Yue Palace with Xi Shi and Qi Mei at the banquet. The flowers inside and outside the palace are dazzling, and everywhere there are songs and swallows, and a prosperous and joyful atmosphere. Xi Shi took Qi Mei's hand and said, "Sister, we are all the same person, it's not that you didn't meet the Ming Lord and failed, but my sister admires your loyalty." After a while, we will follow General Fan. ”
Fan Li turned around and sighed, "Who knows, who knows?" Fly out, good bow hidden; dead rabbits, running dogs cook. There was a generation of Wu Zixu, whose head was hanging on the city gate, and if he could not retire today, the head of the person hanging at the head of Xiaoshan City might be my Fan Li. Some of them stood together, and looking back, the flute in the hall seemed to be far away, but if there were no syllables, it fell in the ears.
