The time has entered the 49rd year of Wu Shihuang, that is, 465 BC, October of the lunar calendar.

In the Mobei area, Dai, Donghu, Lou Fan, Yueshi, Sushen, Ding Ling and other Hu people headed by Zhao Wuxie rebelled.

Qingji was furious, and immediately took the emperor's grandson Wu Ji, the king of Sai Wu Fan, and the king of Liao Wu Zhang as generals, and divided his troops into three groups, with a combined force of 30 cavalry, and went on an expedition outside the Great Wall.

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, and to completely wipe out the Hulu and occupy the land of Mobei, Qingji also recruited more than one million civilian husbands to be responsible for logistics supplies.

At the same time, the Wu army will also take a step-by-step approach to build cities and bunkers in the Mobei area to ensure that the Hu people's intrusion is blocked.

The success of the Wu army in the Northern Expedition was frequently reported. In March of the second year, Wu Ji, Wu Fan, and Wu Zhang, who joined forces together, led the army all the way to the North Sea (Lake Baikal), and Le Shi returned after recording his achievements.

Zhao Wuxie, who had been against Great Wu for many years, was also captured alive and sent to Jinling, the imperial capital.

On how to govern the land of Mobei, the ministers of Great Wu had disagreements.

The ministers headed by Zeng Shen advocated the establishment of a Protectorate in Mobei, just like the Protectorate in the Western Regions.

The ministers headed by Li Ke advocated enfeoffment, enfeoffing the princes of Qingji to Mobei, enfeoffing the state and establishing the country.

After all, Qingji has no less than two hundred sons, and it is not impossible to confine them all.

The establishment of the Duhufu belongs to the imperial policy of detention, and it will take a long process to tame those Hu people who do not obey the king, and make them assimilate with the Wu people, regardless of each other.

If the state is feudal and the country is established, and the princes are made vassals and sit in one side, it can speed up the process of assimilating the Hulu outside the Great Wall.

It's just that the help of the empire is inevitable in the early stage of each vassal kingdom, and the consumption of money, food, soldiers and horses is the most important thing.

After some deliberation, Qingji decided to divide the Mobei land occupied by the empire, that is, the vast area from the north of the Yin Mountain to the south of Lake Baikal, into three parts.

In the east and west, [-] princes were entrusted, and the country was established. In the central part, a Dufu Mansion was set up, which was called the "Beiting Duhufu", which was exactly the same as the Western Region Duhufu.

It is worth mentioning that the Chief Protector of the Protectorate Mansion has a lot of power and holds a heavy army, so Qingji's prince is also in charge.

Today, the territory of the Great Wu Empire is very vast.

From the American continent in the east to the Pacific Ocean, to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain) in the west, to the Mediterranean Sea, the Aral Sea, and the Caspian Sea, across Lake Baikal in the north, and to the Australian mainland in the south.

In the 50th year of Wu Shihuang, before and after the celebration, a total of 120 vassal kingdoms were entrusted, sitting in various places, educating Li Shu, and promoting Wuhua.

Qingji, who has more than enough heart but not enough energy, has also come to the end of his life.

……

The sun is shining and the sky is clear.

Accompanied by Fan Li, Qingji entered Lingyan Pavilion to visit his heroes.

According to Qingji's order, Lingyan Pavilion was built towering into the sky, about 300 meters high. The foundation was built with steel bars and concrete, and it went all the way up. The top of the tower was the highest point of Lingyan Pavilion.

To climb to the top of the tower, if you just take the stairs, Yi Qingji's current physical condition does not allow it, and it is too troublesome.

Fortunately, today's Dawu science and technology productivity continues to improve, and the ancient version of the "elevator" has been invented.

It is said to be an elevator, but it is actually a lifting platform that is carried out through the mechanical movement of gears.

After Qingji entered Lingyan Pavilion, he looked around for a week, came to the portraits of each hero, took a deep look, and felt a lot of sadness in his heart.

The 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in Dawu are:
Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Tian Rangju, Jizha, Wen Zhong, Fan Li, Kong Qiu, Hei Fu, Xiong Zidan, Bo Tong, Xu Menchao, Gongsun Xiong;

Deng Xi, Wu Ming, Wu Liang, Sun Di, Li Ke, Zeng Shen, Zhan Ru, Shen Xi, Bei Li, Yang Hu, Zeng Dian, Gan Jiang.

These 24 heroes did not include the sons of Qingji, otherwise they would have been able to rank among the Lingyan Pavilion with the merits of the feudal lords.

The rest of the people, without outstanding achievements, outstanding political achievements, or military exploits that shine through the ages, are absolutely impossible to enter Lingyan Pavilion.

At this time, Qingji and Fan Li were sitting opposite each other, playing chess and chess together, drinking tea and chatting along the way.

"Uncle Shao, in the past 50 years, Sun Wu, Wen Zhong, Wu Zixu and others have passed away one after another in the past [-] years, and you are the only one left."

Qing Ji smiled, and said: "Look at your body is quite strong, if you live ten or eight years, it shouldn't be a problem."

"After Zhenlong Yubintian, I will designate you as a national teacher, so please help me, take care of Da Wu, and take care of the eternal foundation we created."

Hearing this, Fan Li shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, why should you feel sorry for yourself?"

"You and I are people who have buried most of our bodies in the earth. We don't know when we will die. Here, grandchildren have their own blessings. Why should your majesty worry so much?"

Fan Li is open to many things, including fame and wealth as well as his own life.

Such people, generally speaking, are very long-lived.

Fan Li was born in about 536 BC, and died of illness in about 448 BC in history. He died at an advanced age, almost a hundred years old, and was called the "Sage of Shang".

In other words, Fan Li is three or four years older than Qing Ji, and may have more than ten years of lifespan...

It is worth mentioning that Fan Li had resigned from office several years ago.

It is said that he resigned from office and went back to support, but Fan Li is still in the economy, showing his strengths. He engaged in business, accumulated a lot of wealth, and donated all of it to the national treasury.

How could Qingji not treat such a person with confidence?

"Uncle Shao, you are proficient in metaphysics and good at divination. You can probably figure out how old my great Wu is, Guo Zuo?"

Hearing this, Fan Li pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I have calculated the fate of Wu in private before."

"The results are quite surprising."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Qingji became interested.

However, Fan Li gave a wry smile and sighed, "Your Majesty, please don't offend the evil officials. The secrets of heaven must not be leaked. Once leaked, it will lead to disaster, and even cause great changes in the planned things, and endanger yourself."

"If it's just that the minister's life is lost, it's okay for the minister, but it will bring disaster to the community. When the time comes, the minister will not be redeemed by a hundred deaths."

"My lord, I can only tell His Majesty that the Great Wu Empire is a family of ten thousand generations. After more than 2000 years, there are still many Wu royal families. As for the empire..."

"Crack!"

At this moment, outside Lingyan Pavilion, there was a sudden thunderbolt from the blue sky, which shocked people deafeningly.

Fan Li's words are so mysterious that there is no room for Qingji or disbelief.

Now, there was another sudden bolt from the blue, which made Fan Li silent.

But Qingji already got the answer he wanted——

Thousands of years later, the Wu royal family is still there, but the empire is gone.
