Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 263 If ​​you want to be pretty, be filial
In October, Qingji, who was preparing for the attack on Chu, was recruiting soldiers, building chariots, and furnishing horses throughout the Wu Kingdom.

Although it is not a war to destroy the country, but with the huge size of Chu State, Wu State wants to attack Chu, and the soldiers and horses to be put into the war are bound to be much more than the last battle to destroy Vietnam.

Fifty thousand people is the safest military force.

In the later stage, it may be necessary to add conscription horses and put them into the front line!

At this moment, a sudden news of the death reached Qingji's ears——

Yue Hou Yun often died.

This made Qingji feel quite embarrassed.

Because of Yunchang's death, it was more or less related to Qingji.

In history, Yun Chang could live until around 496 BC, but now he was so angry that his life was shortened by more than ten years because of the fall of the Yue Kingdom.

It can be seen from this that if you are too angry, you will hurt your body and make people look completely different. The key is that you will be short-lived!

"My lord, don't you really want to pay homage to my concubine's father? Condolences are fine too. Woooooooooo..."

In the Zide Hall, Qingji, who was still dealing with government affairs, was informed by Queen Ji Kou of the news of Yunchang's death.

When her father passed away, Ji Kou, as a daughter, was naturally very sad, so she snuggled into Qingji's arms to seek comfort.

Looking at Ji Kou who was crying in his arms with pear blossoms and rain, Qingji was also moved, and took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you should be filial.

Qingji, who is heartless in this matter, feels that Ji Kou, who is wearing plain clothes and filial piety at the moment, really has a special charm.

Of course, during Ji Kou's mourning period, it's better to be more disciplined in celebrating Ji.

Qing Ji said solemnly: "Queen, please mourn. No matter what, Marquis Yue is the widow's father-in-law. Since he died of illness, all the past will be wiped away."

"Tomorrow, the widow will go to the Marquis of Yue's mansion with you to express our condolences."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Ji Kou was very moved, and looked at Qingji affectionately.

As an opponent for many years, Qingji doesn't have much hatred for Yunchang.

It's just that he wished that Yunchang would die sooner, not at the end of his life, but in a kind of unknown old age.

Because although the state of Yue has already perished, the Si clan, the descendants of Dayu, who had established the state for more than a thousand years, still has a lofty status in the hearts of the Yue people.

Qingji treated Yunchang kindly, which can ease the hatred of the Yue people towards the Wu state to a certain extent, and then accelerate the pace of the integration of the Wu and Yue countries.

Wu and Yue have similar cultures, but if the Yue people did not have a strong sense of identity with the Wu state, the Wu state would not have conquered the Yue people in a fundamental sense.

This is bound to be a subtle process.

Time will make people forget many things, such as hatred!
"My lord, can I honor my concubine's father?"

"That's natural."

Yun Chang has already died of illness, Qing Ji can't be stingy and even refuse to give a share of mourning, it seems that Qing Ji is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others.

Just when Qingji was thinking about what kind of honor to give to Yunchang so that the treasury would not cost much and be in order, he heard the eunuch report.

"My lord, Goujian, the heir of the Marquis of Yue, seeks an audience!"

"Xuan!"

"only!"

Gou Jian asked to see Yu Qingji, he must have come to report the funeral.

Because no matter what, Yunchang was Qingji's vassal. Although the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, the "magnanimous" Qingji still did not order Yunchang, Goujian and his son to be executed, but instead gave them quite generous treatment.

"Your Majesty, Ting Lieutenant Wu Zixu begs to see you!"

"Xuan."

"only!"

Not long after, Wu Zixu and Gou Jian entered the Zide Hall one after the other, and bowed to Qing Ji.

Wu Zixu bowed, while Gou Jian knelt down, looking extremely humble.

"Chen Wuyuan (little minister Goujian), see the king and queen! The king has lived forever!"

"No gift, flat body."

Qing Ji waved his hand, signaling Wu Zixu and Gou Jian not to be too polite.

"Thank you king!"

At this time, Gou Jian, because he was in mourning, was wearing plain clothes made of linen, with a filial belt tied on his head, his eyes were dull, and his face was sad.

However, the twelve-year-old Goujian looks a little different from ordinary people.

The three talents are equal, with slender eyes and long eyebrows, a small pointed nose, a long body with a drooping mouth, the body is up and down, slender and upright, the ground is small, the facial features are all good, and it is in the shape of a crane.

And the standard crane shape is a noble appearance...

Wu Zixu came here because he had a confidential matter to report to Qingji, and when he saw outsiders like Ji Kou and Gou Jian present, he stood aside and remained silent.

However, Wu Zixu had been silently sizing up Gou Jian's face, feeling a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty, my servant is here to report the funeral to the King! Last night, my father died of illness at the residence."

Seeing his sister Ji Kou sitting beside Qingji, Gou Jian felt relieved, so he knelt on the ground again and cried.

Gou Jian was terrified of the strong Qing Ji.

Because he couldn't guarantee whether the moody Qingji would kill the weeds and execute him so that he would not see the sun the next day!

When Qingji heard the words, he pretended to be sobbing, and sighed, "Goujian, the news of Marquis Yue's death has already been known to the widow, so please be patient."

"In the past, although the widow and the Marquis of Yue were enemies, they cherished each other. The Marquis of Yue was also the father-in-law of the widow. Now he has passed away. The widow deeply regrets it!"

After a pause, Qingji said slowly again: "Marquis Yue, after all, he was the king of a country in the past, and he should be mourned. The widow should be given the posthumous title of 'Huai' by Marquis Yue, and he will be buried with the ceremonies of princes, and a mausoleum will be built. , and allow the people of Kuaiji County to submit their own memorials to express their condolences!"

Hearing this, Gou Jian pretended to be very grateful, kowtowed and said: "My servant is on behalf of my late father, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"My lord, before my father died, he wanted to be buried in the old place of Kuaiji, and I ask your permission!"

"Falling leaves return to their roots, it's human nature. I will play it!"

At this time, Queen Ji Kou, who was sitting next to Qingji, secretly pinched Qingji's soft flesh in a rather dissatisfied manner, with brows bristling, and muttered in Qingji's ear, "Your Majesty, why don't you treat me as a king?" The name is given to the dead father? The father of the concubine, after all, was the king of Yue, the king of a country."

"The Marquis of Yue is the Marquis of Yue of my country of Wu. How can a widow be arbitrarily appointed, with the dignity of a king, to give others the posthumous title of king?"

This is Qingji's bottom line, no one is allowed to challenge it!

Even Ji Kou, who is much loved by him, is no exception!

If Yun Chang had died of illness when he was the King of Yue, Qing Ji's posthumous title of "King of Yue Huai" would still be justified.

However, Yun Chang died of illness while accepting the title of "Marquis of Yue" from the state of Wu. Due to emotion and reason, it is impossible for Qingji to give Yun Chang the honorary title of King of Yue, even after death!

Seeing Qingji's insistence, Ji Kou sighed faintly and had no choice but to give up.

Because Ji Kou, who knows Qingji's temper well, knows that once Qingji has made a decision, it will be difficult for anyone to persuade him.

Qingji looked at Goujian who was kneeling on the floor with a serious face again, and said, "Goujian, the Marquis of Yue has died, and you are the heir of Marquis of Yue. You should inherit the title of Marquis of Yue, with three hundred households in Wudu. You, can you willing?"
