Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 450 Shen Baoxu Cries Qin Ting
For Qin, the former Chu State was a wolf, but the current Chu State is a lamb.

The state of Wu, which is biting the state of Chu, is a fierce tiger.

The state of Jin to the east of the state of Qin is more like an elephant!

The long-cherished wish of the successive monarchs of the Qin State is to go east and compete in the Central Plains, and Ying Ji is no exception.

However, since Duke Mu, Qin's national situation has been in a slump, and it has been self-styled without much development.

Ying Ji was full of ambitions, but there was no place to display them.

At this moment, Shen Baoxu's heart-piercing cry was once again heard in the Palace of Deliberations of the State of Qin.

The cry was so sad that it shook the hall, and all the officials felt sad when they heard it.

Ying Ji was unmoved, wondering how long he could cry.

Unexpectedly, Shen Baoxu would not stop crying from Sishi to Shenshi!
The clothes were soaked, and the tears on the ground flowed into a small river.

There was no one in the hall, but Shen Baoxu was still crying bitterly on the ground.

The next day, Shen Baoxu still did not eat or drink, sometimes wailing, sometimes weeping, begging Qin to send troops, and the same on the third day.

Ying Ji was very annoyed that Shen Baoxu disturbed the affairs of the court and disturbed the hearts of the people. He asked people to persuade him, but he refused to listen and pulled him away.

"If Qin Bo does not agree to send troops to rescue Chu, the foreign ministers will cry and die here!"

Shen Baoxu said with tears streaming down his face.

This made Ying Ji gnash his teeth in hatred.

He wished that the soldiers would pull Shen Baoxu out and execute him on the spot, but he was afraid of being infamous for killing an envoy of a country, so he had to give up.

A virtuous minister and righteous man like Shen Baoxu has a high reputation, and Ying Ji is also very helpless.

He couldn't be killed, he couldn't be pulled away, he couldn't be persuaded, what should Ying Ji do?

With nothing to do, Ying Ji simply ignored him, and just wanted Shen Baoxu to cry and starve to death, and then it was over.

"My lord! You are living in exile in another country, and you are counting on your ministers to bring reinforcements. Your majesty, you are desperate, and your heart is broken!"

"The minister has failed the king's order! Let the king be disappointed!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Baoxu, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed three more times towards the east, causing blood to flow from his forehead.

Shen Baoxu's bloody cry and the crash after being completely disappointed made Ying Ji feel a little sympathetic to him.

Ying Ji stepped forward to persuade him kindly: "Shen Zi, I already know the reason for your visit."

"The widow is discussing with the ministers about sending troops to rescue Chu, whether it is feasible, please send Shenzi back to the house for a while, and the widow will give Shenzi an answer in a few days, how about it?"

It stands to reason that Shen Baoxu should succumb to the statement of Ying Ji.

Unexpectedly, Shen Baoxu was a tough ass from beginning to end, a stubborn donkey, and Ying Ji couldn't be fooled by a few words at all.

I saw Shen Baoxu wiping his tears and crying, "Uncle Qin, God has mercy on you!"

"The state of Wu is a big wild pig (pig) and a long snake. It has invaded the countries of the Central Plains many times, and the state of Chu was the first to be invaded."

"My king couldn't defend his own country, and was living in the wild grass and wild forest. He sent his ministers to Qin to ask for help."

"Uncle Qin, the greed of Wu people cannot be satisfied!"

"Wu Wang Qingji, he is greedy, tyrannical and innocent. If Wu becomes Qin's neighbor, it will definitely endanger Qin's frontier."

"Before Master Wu has yet to pacify Chu, why doesn't Bo Qin send troops to take a piece of the pie and capture part of Chu?"

"If the state of Chu perishes here, the other part will be the territory of the state of Qin. If Qin Bochen's mighty spirit is used to appease the state of Chu, the people of Chu will serve the king for generations!"

Is this encouraging Qin people to go to Chu to get a share?

Of course, Ying Ji had such a plan in his heart, but when Shen Baoxu exposed it face to face, he inevitably had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"Shenzi, please stay in the Chuanshe for a while to rest. I will give you an answer in a few days."

Hearing this, Shen Baoxu just shook his head and said: "My king is still living in the wild grass and wild forest, without a place to live, how dare my subjects go to rest in the house where there is no need to worry about food and clothing?"

"This……"

Looking at Shen Baoxu who is so stubborn, Ying Ji felt really helpless.

……

"It's the seventh day."

On the Majesty's platform, Ying Ji calculated with his fingers, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

After all the ministers took their seats, he walked out of the Hall of Political Affairs and went to the corridor outside to have a look.

Shen Baoxu was still crying on the ground, but his voice was very weak.

Shen Baoxu tried his best to support the ground with both hands, and slowly raised his head. He had a disheveled gray beard and hair, and a long and thin face that was yellowish and black, and there were no tears.

The blood dripping from the two eyes is obviously a bit of blood. The original wise and bright eyes have dimmed a lot, but they are still shining with the light of persistent pleading.

With a hoarse and dry voice, he continued to cry weakly: "Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan, when King Ping killed your father and brother in vain, I will help you escape alone."

"Farewell, you said angrily that you must come back to destroy Chu. I swear immediately that if you can destroy Chu, I will be able to restore Chu, otherwise I will never live in the world. But now..."

Shen Baoxu followed up with a drop of blood, intermittently said: "Since I can't...seek...help from the people of Qin, and can't fulfill my oath...what else is there to be alive."

Then Shen Baoxu slammed his head on the stone floor, his eyes were darkened, and he passed out.

Seeing this, Ying Ji hurriedly asked someone to carry Shen Baoxu down to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

What Shen Baoxu did finally deeply touched Ying Ji's hard-to-touch heart.

The next day, Ying Ji stood on the Majesty's platform, looked at Shen Baoxu who was being carried into the Palace of Political Affairs, and then glanced at the ministers and officials of Qin State, and finally made up his mind.

"The king of Chu is fatuous and immoral, so he shouldn't have been rescued, but with loyal ministers like Shen Baoxu, Chu should not have died. The widow decided to send five hundred chariots to rescue Chu!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the ministers seconded their proposals one after another.

Because what Shen Baoxu did really moved them.

"Foreign minister, on behalf of my king and the people of Chu, thank Uncle Qin!"

Shen Baoxu, who was extremely weak, still staggered on a crutch, ready to stand up and salute Ying Ji.

Ying Ji immediately walked down to the majesty's stage, helped Shen Baoxu up, took his arm and said, "Shen Zi, this is what a widow should do."

Ying Ji looked around again, looked at the officials present, and laughed loudly: "Second and third sons, in the past, the internal strife in the Zhou royal family led to the invasion of the Rong tribe and the invasion of Haojing. Ji, who was closely related to the Zhou royal family, rose up to resist."

"It's the song of having no clothes. In this situation, why not be generous?"

"Don't say no clothes..."

As Ying Ji took the lead in humming, all the officials hummed in a thick voice.

"Why don't you say that you have no clothes? You share the same robe with your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear, and share the hatred with your son!"

"Why don't you say that you have no clothes? You are in the same pool with your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear and halberd, and work together with your son!"

"Why don't you say you have no clothes? Same clothes as your son. Wang Yuxing, repair my armor and walk with your son!"
