Xiang Zhuang saw Wu Qi like this, and he didn't feel a little ashamed, and pretended to joke: "My king didn't take you to heart, you can go first, as for Your Majesty, the young general will arrange it himself." ” "So good, very good."
Wu Qian wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, As for Emperor Chu Xiong Xin, he didn't know what was going on, so he was drinking tea with his head bowed.
Wu Qian knows everything well, how could Xiang Zhuang, as the brother of the overlord, be kind enough to escort Emperor Chu, and the reason for this is probably only unclear to Xiong Xin.
Just between a few people thinking, Xiang Zhuang immediately got up and said: "This is a foregone conclusion, if there is nothing else, the young general will retreat first, as for the matter, I will send someone to arrange it." ” After that, he left his seat, leaving only Wu Qi and Emperor Chu looking at each other, "Aiqing, I want to move south to Gaocheng today, why don't you go and step forward alone, aren't you afraid of Xiang Zhuang Wufu?"
” Wu Qi's face seemed to be smiling, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to talk about this matter in detail, Xiang Zhuang is a person I have heard of, loyal to my brother, not necessarily loyal to Your Majesty, please be careful on the road." ” "Well, Aiqing will go first, and he must discuss with King Han Haosheng, so as not to make any mistakes."
Xiong Xin said thoughtfully.
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Qi took the first step, under the arrangement of Xiang Zhuang, Xiong Xin's accompanying ministers were in front, and Emperor Chu was escorted by Xiang Zhuang's 1,000 men and horses.
After two days, Fang came to the Chenxian Riverside, Xiang Zhuang immediately turned the horse's head and rushed to the Chu Emperor behind him, the Chu Emperor at this moment was restless, and he always dreamed that he was deep in the river at night, and he didn't know that his life was still there.
Seeing Xiang Zhuang coming, he said a little weakly: "The general is exploring the way in front, why did he return in a hurry, is there a mountain and water in front of him, or is there an enemy army?"
” "Where did Your Majesty say, this is the territory of the Chu State, where are the thieves, the young general will come to report today, it is nothing more than a river blocking the road in front, I hope Your Majesty will pass by boat, it is the safest."
Xiang Zhuang said in a low voice.
Emperor Chu was helpless, surrounded by many palace people, he slowly came to the riverside, only to see that the river was endless, as if rushing down from the world, I don't know what to do with the river.
The river is 100 meters wide, the water flow is urgent, from time to time there are stones into the river, with the water flowing, can not be left quickly, only the middle of the river is slightly calm.
"This water is quite similar to what I saw in my dreams."
Emperor Chu looked at the river and sighed, at this time, Xiang Zhuang also came in a hurry, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the dragon boat is ready, I don't know if I can start at this time?"
” "Let's do it now, when we get to the other side, we will make a decision, and General Lao will have to worry about everything."
Xiong Xin said, and very carefully got on the dragon boat in the middle, and Xiang Zhuang also followed.
"Let's go!"
As the sound fell, Emperor Chu's dragon boat set off first, and the accompanying boats behind were twenty or thirty meters apart before setting off.
Seeing this, Xiang Zhuang sneered in his heart, and then walked over to Xiong Xin's side, "Your Majesty, this water flows down from the north, and there is a lot of sand and gravel, but the fish and shrimp in the water are enough to feed the people on both sides of the strait." ” "And according to legend, this water is unfathomable, or there is a dragon hidden in it, the king does not believe it, but he can go to the side of the boat to see each other, its water is cold and green, and it can't help but make people's skin cold, as if being looked at by others."
Emperor Chu was a little curious by what Xiang Zhuang said, and secretly thought to himself: "I never thought that this river would have such a origin, but I also want to look at it, if a dragon appears, it will be consistent with my dream." ” "But there is a suspicion of falling into the water in the dream, and if you get close to it, you can't know the danger."
Seeing that Emperor Chu was indifferent, Xiang Zhuang was a little anxious, so he immediately stepped forward first, held the railing, and said to himself: "This scene is not watching, and I will regret it for life." ” Emperor Chu wanted to come to Xiang Zhuang to escort this time, if he was invited and did not go, he would show Xiang Yu in the future, and he didn't know if he could survive, and it didn't hurt to come forward to watch it.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chu strode forward, approached the railing, stood in the center of the river, and looked around, which can be described as: Mountains and rivers are compatible, and the scenery of the light railing is behind.
If you swim above the clouds in the nine heavens, I am afraid that the dust spreads out of the sky.
Seeing the Emperor of Chu's heart rippled, he was in a good mood, getting closer and closer to the railing, wanting to touch the water with his hands and feel the cold feelings, Xiang Zhuang saw this, and knew in his heart that the opportunity could not be lost, and then half squatted, slightly sideways, and directly kicked the two legs of the Emperor of Chu, the body of the Emperor of Chu was not stable, Xiang Zhuang used both hands to push the Emperor of Chu directly into the river.
At this moment, the palace people behind him were shocked, Xiang Zhuang immediately turned around, and said with gloomy eyes: "You don't have to say much, there are rewards." ” "Obey the general's orders!"
Those palace people said tremblingly, their eyes at a loss.
At this time, the boats behind also rushed up, put up the boat board, Xiang Zhuang jumped over directly, and said to the guards next to him: "Kill all the palace maids on the boat and burn the dragon boat!"
” The hundreds of soldiers rushed directly to the big boat, all the palace maids were spared, and the big ship was also burned and sunk into the river, and then Xiang Zhuang led the soldiers to Chenxian County to meet with Chu Xiang.
Because it was the minister who went first, Chu Xiang went to Chenxian first, Xiang Zhuang caught up in half a day, Chu Xiang was shocked when he saw Xiang Zhuang, and the two finished their salutes, and Chu Xiang did not give Xiang Zhuang a good face at all.
The prince of Chenxian County welcomed the two to the hall, Xiang Zhuang took a sip of warm tea, and said directly and unceremoniously: "Chu Xiang may not know it, Your Majesty visited the scenery when he came, and accidentally fell into the river, so far there is no news, and he came here today just to inform Chu Xiang, and there is nothing else to say." ” When Chu Xiang heard this, his face changed greatly, and he instantly got up and pointed at Xiang Zhuang and said, "You are really a disloyal and unfilial person!"
Your Majesty's benevolence and love for the people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all of which are the merits of Your Majesty. ” Without waiting for Chu Xiang to finish speaking, Xiang Zhuang also stood up and said a little unkindly: "The public is good for himself, today he just gave a notice, and dismissed the officials, from now on there is no Emperor Chu Yi in this world, only Hengshan King Gongao, overlord Xiang Yu, and Han King Liu Bang is also!"
” "Your Majesty has this calamity today, and it is not our wish, come here!
Take Chu Xiang down, dismiss his post and confiscate his family, put Chenxian under house arrest, and he can't take half a step until he dies, and all Chu officials will be dismissed, and each will be rewarded with 100 gold to show his grace!
” As soon as the words fell, Chu Xiang was pulled out by the two guards, but despite this, he still howled and cried: "The overlord is conceited, killing the righteous emperor, and he will not die well!"
Don't end well!
” After Xiang Zhuang arranged all the things in Chenxian, he rode back to Huiji on the same day, and informed Xiang Yu that he could send troops to come, but only the two Xiang Yu brothers knew about the assassination of Emperor Chu.
Xiang Yu got the news and returned to Pengcheng after stationing the soldiers and horses in Huiji, just letting Xiang Zhuang stay.
In Pengcheng, Chu State, Fan Zeng heard that Emperor Chu had drowned across the river, and he was shocked, so he immediately changed into court clothes and hurried to the main hall of Pengcheng Palace, wanting to ask clearly.
