Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 287
The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

Of course Qingji wanted to destroy Chu State in one fell swoop and replace it!
However, Qing Ji can rationally realize that now is not the time to destroy Chu.

"Your Majesty still wants to encroach on Chu?"

"Of course."

Qingji patted Wu Zixu on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Zixu, I know that you are eager for revenge. However, the state affairs should be the most important thing!"

"One day, the widow will let you raise troops into Ying, and see the moment when the Chu Kingdom perishes!"

"promise."

Then Wu Zixu sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this is my minister Meng Lang, please forgive me."

"It's okay."

Qing Ji smiled slightly, and then turned his attention to Fan Li who was at the side.

"Uncle Shao."

"Chen is here!"

"You will be sent as an envoy to Yingdu."

Qing Ji said solemnly: "The state of Chu is already in crisis. You should warn the people of Chu and urge Wu and Chu to eliminate their troops. The bottom line of the widow is to be poor, raise the city, submerge, six, and the Ying family." , the six cities of Chengfu, and more than ten thousand Chu troops including Shen Baoxu."

Hearing this, both Fan Li and Wu Zixu were very surprised.

Wu Zixu asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, is the price for killing the soldiers too high?"

At this time, the situation in Chu State is so critical, and they are eager to fight with Wu State. It is really surprising that Qingji gave such generous conditions.

Qingji just shook his head and said: "This is the bottom line of the widow, Shaobo should try his best to seek the greatest benefit for our country of Wu. In ordinary times, the people of Chu may not be of one mind. If the king of Chu is prosperous, he will be prosperous, and if he is damaged, he will be ruined, so how can everyone not be in danger?"

"promise!"

Celebrating the taboo is to consider that when the country is on the verge of subjugation, the princes from all over the Chu country will inevitably unite to resist foreign humiliation.

If the state of Wu asked the Chu people to unconditionally dismiss their soldiers, it might not be possible.

Moreover, Qing Ji also needs Chu State to recognize Wu State's sovereignty over Tong, Shu, Chao, Zhongli and other places, and to make a letter of credence, which must not be disturbed.

……

Chu State, Yingdu.

Ever since the general of the Jin State met the vassals of the eighteen countries in Zhaoling, and the allied forces attacked Chu, the Chu State's ruling and opposition parties have been gloomy and gloomy.

The only thing that can make Chu King Xiong Zhen feel gratified is that the crisis-conscious lords from all over the world have finally become enlightened, and people have been sent out one after another, with money to pay, and temporarily formed an army of [-] people.

However, a mere [-] people is too small to face the coalition forces of the princes of the eighteen countries. Even if there is a Fangcheng to garrison, it will not last long.

At this time, in the court hall of Chu State, two different voices had already appeared.

The main combat faction advocated adding [-] troops to the father of the chicken, defeating the Wu army with an absolutely superior force, and then going north to deal with the coalition forces of the princes.

The Zhuhe faction, on the other hand, advocated eliminating troops from the state of Wu, and then joined forces with Father Chicken's [-] Chu troops, and went northward together to defend against the incoming allied forces of princes.

The two voices were arguing in the hall, and Xiong Zhen couldn't make a decision for a while.

Just at this time, Xiong Zhen couldn't help but see the news that Fan Li, the envoy of Wu State, asked to see him.

It seems that Wu Wang Qingji also intends to eliminate the soldiers!

As a result, the Wu Congress, which first proposed a peace negotiation, was temporarily at a disadvantage, and the initiative was in the hands of Chu.

"Xuan! The envoy of the Wu Kingdom, Fan Li, has an audience—"

Following the scream of a servant, within a short while, Fan Li, who was wearing a court uniform and a traveling crown on his head, looked elegant, entered the hall step by step under the rather complicated eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Chu.

"Foreign minister, Fan Li, the internal history of Wu State's governance of millet, see the King of Chu! See the Tai Tai!"

Fan Li saluted Chu Wang Xiong Zhen and his wife Meng Ying neither humble nor overbearing.

"Fan Zi doesn't need to be too polite."

Xiong Zhen waved his hand, letting Fan Li die without courtesy.

Afterwards, Xiong Zhen frowned again and asked, "Fan Zi, I heard that you are from Chu?"

Fan Li replied: "King of Chu, to tell you the truth, I was born in Sanhu Township, Wandi, Chu State. I was born in a humble family, and I am a common man in Chu State!"

"Since you are from Chu, why do you serve the enemy country and harm your mother country?"

Xiong Zhen said coldly: "Crows have the grace to feed back, and lambs have the righteousness to kneel. Fan Zi was born and raised in Chu State, why did Fan Zi abandon his homeland? Isn't it even worse than crows, lambs and other beasts!"

Fan Li, who was scolded by Xiong Zhen as inferior to animals, was not angry at all, but smiled lightly and said: "The King of Chu's words are wrong. Don't you hear that good birds choose trees to live in, and virtuous ministers choose masters to do things? "

"Fan Li came from a humble background. Although he was talented and learned, he wanted to serve the state of Chu in his early years, but when he didn't treat me well, the sky does not lie to Li."

"In Chu State, there is a tradition that non-nobles are not allowed to be an official. Although Fan Li's ancestor was Fan Wuzi, his family was in decline, poor, without wealth or fame, so he could only hang around in the rivers and lakes, and could not have a place in Chu State. Director of the exhibition!"

After a pause, Fan Li said again slowly: "Now, thanks to my king's perseverance, Li is highly valued in Wu State, so I promise to drive him away."

"As the saying goes, eating the king's salary means taking care of the king's worries! Although Fan Li was born in Chu and grew up in Chu, and now he serves under my king, he should be a Wu person and a Wu minister!"

"Don't the king of Chu know that in the past there was an allusion that Chu talents were used by Jin? Now it is used by Chu talents and Wu."

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen who was sitting on the majesty's platform gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't argue.

After all, Chu State does have a tradition that non-nobles are not allowed to be officials.

Moreover, even the real nobles, who are not the sons of Chu's clan, cannot be reused!

Lingyin Nangwa of Chu State and Zuo Tu Zixi are both the clan ministers of Chu State.

People such as Ziqi, Zilu, Shen Zhuliang, etc. are all descendants of a certain Chu king and belong to the public family of Chu!
Under such circumstances, it is a fluke for the foreign nobles and the local nobles of Chu to become a senior doctor, let alone Ling Yin and Zuo Tu who are in charge of power?
Xiong Zhen immediately stabilized his mind, coughed lightly, and said, "Fan Zi, you should know the allusions about the use of Chu talents in the Jin Dynasty. If you compare Fan Zi to the old Wuju, I will treat you favorably. I don't know if you can do it." Like Wu Ju, to my country of Chu?"

Hearing this, Fan Li was quite surprised.

Even the ministers of the state of Chu under the majesty's platform couldn't help whispering to each other.

Xiong Zhen is so thirsty for talents, he can be regarded as a generation of Mingjun.

In fact, Xiong Zhen (King Chu Zhao) was indeed the king of ZTE in the history of Chu State.

However, Xiong Zhen was born at an untimely time, and the Chu State he took over is still a mess!

Now, he knew that Fan Li was a great talent, but he was unable to become an official in Chu State and could not show his talents, so he defected to Wu State and worked for Wu Wang Qingji.

Xiong Zhen throws an olive branch to Fan Li, only hoping to get Fan Li, a great talent, so that Qingji will lose a good minister!

But, can Fan Li agree?

In the past, the Chu State ignored him, but now, Fan Li also makes the Chu State unable to stand up!

I saw Fan Li bowed his body, smiled and said: "Thank you King Chu for your appreciation. The foreign ministers are less talented than Wu Zi (Wu Ju). Moreover, Fan Li is a Wu minister and died as a Wu ghost, so he dare not betray my king! "
