Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 206
As far away as Qi, Lu, Wei, Song and other countries in the Central Plains have traded arms and supplies with Wu State, as for the bandits and robbers and the Sanyi people in the south of Yue State, they are even the big customers of Wu State in terms of weapons!

Under such circumstances, how could Wu Guo not take advantage of his own weapons to make a fortune in war?
In the gazebo of the imperial garden.

At this moment, Qing Ji, who has nothing to do, is playing chess and Go with Queen Ji Kou.

Qing Ji is such a stinky chess player, he can't beat Sun Wu and Fan Li in chess, but it's more than enough to bully Ji Kou!

"Haha! Queen, the widow has won again!"

Qingji landed another sunspot, looked at the situation on the chessboard again, and was immediately overjoyed, with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Ji Kou just gave Qing Ji a contemptuous look, stretched his waist flirtatiously, and said, "Your Majesty, you will also bully your concubine's incompetence in chess."

"Why do you have to play chess with your concubine?"

"..."

Am I no match for other people?
Qingji was rather embarrassed.

He is a typical person who is addicted to food!
Ji Kou is not interested in playing Go, so his chess skills are worse than Qingji's.

If Qingji hadn't played chess with Ji Kou today, the latter would still be admiring the flowers.

Suddenly, there was a cry for help, and both Qingji and Ji Kou were startled.

"Overboard! Someone overboard!"

There was a commotion not far away.

Qingji frowned, and immediately led Ji Kou towards the pond, only to see a palace woman who fell into the water had been rescued from the rockery.

The rescue was done in time, the maid just choked on a few sips of water, her whole body was wet like a drowned chicken, but it was not serious.

"King, queen!"

Seeing Qingji and Ji Kou approaching, the eunuch Gong'e present hurriedly saluted.

The palace lady who was rescued also stood up, bowed to Qingji and Ji Koufu, and said softly: "Your maidservant sees the king, sees the queen!"

"Don't be too polite."

The maid's voice was inexplicably familiar.

Qing Ji glanced at it and recognized it. Isn't this the girl he and Fan Li bought for [-] yuan in the market not long ago?

At that time, the girl sold herself to bury her father, Qingji saw her pity, so he bought her with money, but he didn't choose to let her be his servant.

Why is she here?
Qingji was quite puzzled.

"Little girl, we meet again. Why are you here?"

Teng Yu lowered his head, looked weak and helpless, and sighed faintly: "Your Majesty, thanks to His Majesty, you bought the slaves that day so that the slaves could bury their deceased father. However, the slaves have no relatives, why should they seek refuge with others?"

"The servant said that anyone who can pay for the burial of the servant's father is the master of the servant, but the king can't accept the servant, and only asks the servant to report to Zhisu Neishi's mansion."

"The servant believed it was true, and reported to Doctor Fan's residence, but was told that the servant was bought by the king with money."

"Your Majesty only cares about your kindness, and your slaves will always remember it in your heart. They are willing to be cattle and horses, and serve the King for the rest of their lives. When maidservants are selected in the palace, slaves are selected into the harem to be on duty in the Royal Garden..."

This Fan Li!

Qingji was quite speechless.

He obviously ordered Fan Li to accept the girl, but he never thought that Fan Li would actually push her out?

But this young girl is a deadhead, she must repay Qingji!

"What's your name?"

"Reporting to the king, the maidservant's name is Yu'er."

"Yu'er? Alright, from now on, you will work in the Zide Palace and become a lantern-carrying female official!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your cooperation!"

It is not unreasonable for Qingji to support Teng Yu.

After all, Teng Yu's first impression of Qingji was quite good.

Able to abide by her heart, although she is a daughter, she has the style of a gentleman, and she does not want to accept the food that comes at her!
What kind of conduct is this?
I'm afraid most people in the world are not as good as Teng Yu!
But Teng Yu can do this, so Qing Ji thinks highly of her even more.

However, what Qingji didn't know was that the little girl in front of him was his concubine, who regarded him as the daughter of Helu who killed her father and enemies!

If he knew this situation, Qingji would definitely order Teng Yu to be executed without hesitation, so as to avoid future troubles.

It's a pity that Qingji just ignored this point and put Teng Yu by his side to serve him.

"Your Majesty, the son of the State of Chu is requesting an audience!"

At this time, a Su Wei reported.

Young Master Shen is exactly Zixi, who arrived in Wudu not long ago.

Qingji was naturally clear about Zixi's intentions.

Right now, Wu and Chu are both licking their wounds and trying to restore their national strength. Naturally, they need to exchange envoys from time to time to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

"Let him go to Zide Hall to wait for the widow."

"promise!"

Not long after, Qingji entered the Zide Hall step by step, and saw Zixi sitting at the head of His Majesty's altar.

"Young master Shen, long time no see, are you all right?"

"Thank you, King Wu, for your concern. The foreign minister is very kind."

After asking for warmth, Qingji sat across from Zixi.

It has to be said that the clan of the Chu State is also full of talented people, and Zixi can be regarded as one of them.

Zixi is the eldest son of King Ping of Chu. He is modest, gentlemanly, and extraordinary.

Historically, after the Battle of Baiju, the Wu army smashed the capital of Ying, and King Chu Zhao fled abroad. Zixi stayed near Ying to build a new capital. exist.

After learning that King Zhao of Chu was in Suidi, Zixi rushed to Suiguo to follow King Zhao.

Later, Duke Ai of Qin came to aid Chu, and Zixi led the Chu army to cooperate with the Qin army to fight in the east of Han, and defeated the Wu army at Junxiang and Gongyizhixi successively.

During the war of restoration of the Chu state, Zixi made great contributions to helping his younger brother recover the capital Yingdu.

After the recovery of Ying Du, he was appointed as Ling Yin, in charge of the military and political power of Chu State.

However, King Chu Zhao appointed Zixi as his successor before his death, but unfortunately the latter resigned and refused. In the end, Xiong Zhang, the son of King Zhao, was appointed as King Chu, and King Chu Hui.

Looking at Zixi's life, it can be seen that he has extraordinary talents, at least he can be called a first-class talent.

"Mr. Shen, is Ru Guotai safe?"

"..."

Zixi immediately choked on Qingji's words!

The important matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries is a national affair, how can it be related to the love between children?

Zixi's face was quite embarrassed.

As the "secret lover" of Meng Ying, the prince of Chu, Qingji's greetings to Meng Ying seemed to be no problem.

However, the difficulty lies in the fact that one of them is King Wu, and the other is Mrs. Chu Guotai. They are both distinguished, and they are both powerful figures in charge of a country.

However, Qing Ji had an affair with Meng Ying, and even caused the latter to secretly entangle, and put a green hat on the late King Ping of Chu!
How could Zixi not be angry?

How can the Chu people not be angry?

But what if they are angry?

Qingji is the king of Wu, and the people of Chu have nothing to do with him.

Meng Ying is also a grand lady who listens to the government behind the curtain, holding a certain amount of power in her hands, and everyone in the state of Chu can only criticize and criticize this matter behind her back. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of Meng Ying?
Isn't that the mouse licking the cat's nose-looking for death?
