Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 143 Meng Ying's Black History
"When Ai's family was in Yingdu, they heard that the king of Wu was so heroic that he was the enemy of ten thousand people. Seeing him today, I guess what he said is true!"

Seeing Qingji, Meng Ying couldn't help but casually compliment him.

As the saying goes, there is no one who does not like to hear flattery and flattery!

However, Meng Ying's remarks only expressed the bravery of celebrating Ji, but did not see the achievements in governing the country, which is inevitably biased.

Or, is Meng Ying deliberately satirizing Qingji as a brave and foolhardy warrior?
Qingji then smiled lightly and said, "The country is too famous. Although I am not talented, I have heard of the country's beauty."

"In the past, the former king of your country sent Fei Wuji to marry Prince Jian to Qin, and the country's wife was married. Did you ever think that the person you married was not Prince Jian, but King Ping?"

Hearing this, Meng Ying's face darkened suddenly.

Qingji is poking her sore foot!

For Meng Ying, marrying King Ping of Chu by mistake is undoubtedly a dark history that cannot be uncovered.

Now, being exposed by Qingji in this way, Meng Ying was a little embarrassed, but he was still able to hold back the anger in his heart. He forced a smile and said: "King Wu, those married by the Ai family are ordered by their parents. As for marrying the former king or the old prince Building is not in Aijia, but imposed by others."

There was nothing wrong with Meng Ying's answer.

At that time, Meng Ying, who was only at the age of Ji, was a princess of a country, but she couldn't make decisions about her own marriage!
It was Meng Ying's father Qin Jinggong's idea to agree to marry Chu.

As for marrying King Ping of Chu or Prince Jian, it is of little importance to Qin.

At best, the people of Qin would be disgusted with Chu's practice of changing positions.

But for Chu people, Meng Ying's appearance can be said to have caused a lot of troubles for Chu!
Meng Ying is the daughter of Qin Jinggong, and she was married to the prince of Chu State in her early years.

Later, King Ping of Chu sent his minister Fei Wuji to Qin to marry Meng Ying.

Fei Wuji, who returned to Yingdu, instigated King Chu Ping, exaggerated Meng Ying's peerless appearance, and advised King Chu Ping to marry her himself. extravagant.

The final result is well known.

The exiled Prince Jian was again suspected by King Ping of Chu, and finally under the slander of Fei Wuji and other treacherous officials, Prince Jian was forced to flee and died in the state of Zheng.

Wu She and his son were brutally murdered, and the whole family was ransacked. Only Wu Zixu was able to escape.

And the fuse of all this was Meng Ying!

Of course, Meng Ying himself never expected it.

This political marriage of hers would actually cause King Chuping's father and son to turn against each other and cause a catastrophe.

Meng Ying asked herself, she would rather marry the young Prince Jian than the old King Ping of Chu!

However, King Chu Ping has already occupied her, so Meng Ying can only let her go and take every step she takes!
Fortunately, relying on his unparalleled beauty, Meng Ying was able to win the favor of King Ping of Chu and give birth to children for King Ping of Chu.

After giving birth to the current king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, Meng Ying successfully became the wife (queen) of Chu.

In the original history, after the Wu army defeated Ying, King Chu Zhao fled to Yu and Sui countries. Meng Ying was captured by the Wu army, but he refused to serve King Helu of Wu and forced him to die.

He Lu had no choice but to have the harem sealed off and not let anyone harass Meng Ying.

In 505 BC, Shen Baoxu begged Qin Aigong to send troops to rescue Chu, and in October of that year, the Wu army withdrew.

When King Chu Zhao returned to Yingdu, he was very excited when he heard about his mother's behavior, and he respected him even more, so he made Meng Ying in charge of the harem.

King Zhao wanted the woman who was harassed by Helu to be buried for King Ping, but Meng Ying came forward to stop him from killing, and then died of illness in Chu Palace.

Judging from Meng Ying's actions, Qing Ji thought that the beautiful young woman in front of her was not just a vase, but a beauty and a disaster.

At least Meng Ying still has his own bottom line!

"Guo Tai, it's the widow who is rude."

Qing Ji immediately bowed to Meng Ying generously and said, "What I said has no other intentions, so please don't blame the Crown Prince."

"However, I think that the appearance of Guo Tai is actually the face of a fish falling into a wild goose, and the appearance of a closed moon shameful flower. I am afraid that there are not many women in the world who can surpass Guo Tai in terms of appearance."

"Wu Wang is full of praise. In the eyes of the Ai family, Wu Wang is handsome and heroic, and he is also a great husband that is rare in the world!"

Being praised by Qingji, Meng Ying couldn't help but his face was stained with red, and he gave Qingji a flirtatious white look, as if charming and angry.

Is it a wink, or a wink?

Qingji is unknown.

However, just being glanced at by Meng Ying like this, Qingji felt like a spring breeze.

Naturally flattering, she might be talking about a woman like Meng Ying.

Afterwards, Qing Ji, Xiong Zhen, Meng Ying and others all took their seats one after another. Sitting on the Square Terrace, they enjoyed the graceful singing and dancing, the sound of the qin and zither, and chatted with each other.

Qingji had just cut a piece of venison and brought it to his mouth. Before he could chew it, he heard Meng Ying, who was sitting beside him, ask softly, "King Wu, I heard from Ai that the state of Wu is following the example of Guan Zhong, the former leader of Qi. Reform, reform reform?"

"Exactly."

Qingji did not deny it.

Because there is a lot of news about Wu's reforms, anyone who is not blind or deaf can hear the news!

"Can it be effective?"

"Looking at it now, it has had little effect."

"In the future, due to the reform of the law, the state of Wu will become prosperous and strong, so will it be possible that it will raise troops to attack our state of Chu again?"

Meng Ying frowned slightly.

"Hahahaha, Guotai should not be worrying about the sky."

Qing Ji smiled slightly and said, "With the effectiveness of the reform, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe in the lifetime of you and me, it may not be complete. How worried is Guo Tai?"

"Chu and Wu are close neighbors, and they should live together in harmony."

Meng Ying said something against his will.

Between people, there may be a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the relationship between distant relatives is not as good as one's neighbors.

However, among countries, especially in this world of great strife, when a country becomes strong, it is often the neighboring countries that suffer.

Therefore, it is not a good thing for the state of Chu to be prosperous and strong for the state of Wu!
"What Guotai said is very true."

With an expression of approval on his face, Qing Ji said, "Wu and Chu are close neighbors and should not be enemies. For Chu, the real enemy is Jin in the north. For Wu, the real enemy is Jin." The enemy is the Yue State in the south!"

"Since this is the case, why can't Wu and Chu eliminate the military affairs and deal with the enemy individually?"

"good."

Meng Ying's thinking was obviously the same as Qingji's.

Between Wu State and Chu State, they have been attacking each other for decades, and the deep blood feud cannot be resolved, but it is possible to suspend it and fight each other!
The State of Yue is to the State of Wu what Wu State is to the State of Chu.

The state of Wu was supported by the state of Jin, the enemy of the state of Chu, and its purpose was to deal with the state of Chu.

In the same way, the state of Chu felt the pressure from the state of Wu in the east, and then supported the state of Yue in the south of the state of Wu, making it stalemate and unable to conquer Chu in the west.

It's a pity that the country of Yue has always been muddy and unable to support the wall, and it has never been able to contain the country of Wu as it wished.
