The plot was exactly the same as countless times before.
King of Wu Fuchai very much wanted to completely annex all of Yue, but he was concerned about his reputation and feared inciting resentment in the newly conquered territories.
He didn't want to go too far when the opponent had already sued for peace and surrendered, so his attitude kept wavering.
Wu Zixu provoked him with words, and he began to deliberately insult, provoke, and stimulate Goujian, hoping that Goujian would not be able to bear it and rise up in resistance, thus finding a legitimate excuse to kill him.
However, they tried all sorts of methods.
Whether it was demanding the cession of more than 90% of the territory, beheading generals, disbanding soldiers, or trying to eradicate Yue's remaining fighting strength, Goujian remained unmoved.
It seemed that as long as he could live, everything else could be abandoned.
Until all other methods had been exhausted, Tang San spoke out against it for the first time at Wu Zixu's suggestion to bring Queen of Yue into the military tent for the ultimate humiliation.
This was the opportunity he had carefully chosen.
Wu Zixu's probing became more and more outrageous, and the anger of the civil and military officials and soldiers behind him had been accumulating, and even some people in Wu began to feel unbearable.
Only by going crazy at this time could the entire Yue feel deeply ashamed and unite against the enemy.
The higher the anger value of the people of Yue, the less dare Fucha would be to kill him.
After all, his biggest purpose was to expand the territory, not simply to avenge his father or torture people for fun.
The moral concepts of the Spring and Autumn Period were very different from Douluo and his previous life.
Scheming wasn't yet the norm; this was an era where even war had to be fought with honor.
Not even letting go of a monarch who had been driven mad, resistance would inevitably arise one after another, and it would also give other countries an excuse to launch attacks.
He didn't know if the virus had shut down or if his IQ had regained its high ground.
San Zi's thoughts suddenly became exceptionally clear.
He plastered a smile on his face, crawled forward on his knees, and kept crawling to the tent door, crying sincerely:
"Your Majesty King of Wu, this sinful slave is willing to select the most beautiful women from the entire territory of Yue and send specialists to teach them court etiquette, so that you may enjoy them."
"I beg you, please spare the Queen, she is not only my Queen, but also the mother of the Crown Prince."
These words did not arouse the sympathy of Fucha and Wu Zixu, but made them overjoyed.
They had finally found something that Goujian cared about.
You can't bear it anymore, right?
Watch me give you an even more ruthless move, I don't believe you can still hold on.
Fucha not only drew his whip to beat Queen of Yue himself, but also, seeing Tang San's face obviously in pain, and even veins popping out on the back of his hand, he actually called in two soldiers from outside.
This action stirred up a thousand waves, and instantly made all the civil and military officials and surrendered soldiers of the entire Yue burn with anger, their eyes turning blood red.
Goujian was willing to acknowledge himself as a slave, so although Fucha's beating of Queen of Yue was very excessive, it did not actually exceed the scope of legality.
The Master has the right to freely dispose of everything belonging to the slave, and his wife is no exception.
It was even customary for the victor to occupy the wives and concubines of the loser.
But calling in the soldiers under his command clearly crossed the line.
Between a Queen of a country, who was also the mother of the Crown Prince and future King, and soldiers from commoner and small aristocratic backgrounds, there was a world of difference.
In some more strict aristocratic families, if a wife or daughter had an affair with someone of too low a status, they would be dealt with by family law, let alone defiled.
Before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted the phrase "Are kings, dukes, generals, and ministers born with a special seed?", origin was almost an insurmountable chasm, or perhaps even the word 'almost' could be removed; it was an insurmountable chasm.
Just as Tang San felt that the atmosphere was about right and he could start acting crazy, a change occurred in the tent that he had not anticipated, but which instantly made him ecstatic.
The two soldiers had just entered when, the next second, Queen of Yue suddenly struggled free from Fucha's restraints and drew a sword from the soldier's waist, slitting her own throat.
The corpse fell heavily to the ground, and the bright red blood splattered on his face, Fucha's brain suddenly went blank.
Even if he didn't know that Tang San was about to give him a big performance, his instinctive awareness and above-average political wisdom were constantly telling him that Wu was likely to have big trouble.
Even Wu Zixu, who had always been aggressive, immediately regained his composure after a brief shock.
He thought for a moment, and quickly walked up to Tang San, saying in a very disdainful tone:
"Goujian, stop pretending to be crazy.
Your disguise skills are too poor, your schemes have already been seen through by everyone, don't believe me, look back and see."
Impossible, I didn't feel there was a problem.
San Zi was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head back.
Then he saw the Yue civil and military officials, who were originally extremely angry, suddenly widen their eyes and their expressions became extremely astonished.
