Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 355

From a legal point of view, Xiong Sheng is also qualified to inherit the throne of King Chu.

After all, Xiong Sheng's father, Prince Jian, was once the heir apparent of the Chu State, and his roots are Miaohong.

Of course, the current king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, is the uncle of the son Sheng, so after a generation, Xiong Sheng's inheritance rights will basically be gone.

However, this does not prevent Qingji from making a big fuss.

Because the people of Chu felt sorry for Prince Jian and thought he should not suffer such bad luck, so even Prince Sheng could gain the favor of some people in Chu State.

If Qing Ji is behind the scenes and supports Xiong Sheng, then everything will be fine!
In the original history, Gongzi Sheng can be described as a model of repaying kindness with revenge.

Several years later, King Chu Hui, the son of King Chu Zhao, came to the throne. Looking back on the past, King Chu Hui knew that the state of Chu owed a debt to a person, and the creditor was Prince Sheng.

If there are no historical mistakes, it is a matter of course for Prince Jian to be the king of Chu, and it is also a matter of course for Prince Jian's son Xiong Sheng to succeed the king of Chu.

King Chu Hui, who was condemned by his conscience, decided to welcome Xiong Sheng, who had lived in Wu for a long time, back to his hometown.

To this, Ye Gong, the famous minister of Chu State, that is, Shen Zhuliang strongly opposed it.

His reason was that Sheng was aggressive and ruthless, he had a sick mentality, and he had raised many dead soldiers in private, so it might bring ominous news for him to return to China.

However, King Hui was unmoved, and solemnly recalled Xiong Sheng, and granted the land of Yan to Xiong Sheng who had just returned to the country, the doctor of Feng Chaoyi, and the latter was called "Bai Gong" from then on.

Bai Gongsheng is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, the pain of exile, the bitterness of being dependent on others, and the throne that can no longer belong to him...all stimulate him to sleep and eat.

However, with regard to life and history, Bai Gongsheng did not have more complaints and anger. After thinking about it, his anger was only concentrated in one direction - Zheng Guo.

People from that country killed his father, and his father was the prince.

He felt that all his pain was related to Zheng Guoren and his father was killed.

The death of his father was the biggest shadow in his heart, and it was a nightmare that he could not get rid of for a long time. Only by destroying Zheng Guo could he end the great hatred in his heart, the hatred of killing his father that was as deep as the ocean!
After returning, Bai Gongsheng waited hard for five years, and finally made a request to attack Zheng. Yin Zixi generously agreed.

But history is such a coincidence, Bai Gongsheng's army has not yet left the country, but the state of Jin took the lead.

Zheng Guo, who was threatened by other countries' military affairs, immediately asked Chu State for help.

In the face of the big issue of life and death, Bai Gongsheng's family hatred seems insignificant.

Zixi took up the mission and rushed to help Zheng Guo.

The help of Chu State caused Jin's army to fail.

That battle ushered in a new stage of diplomatic relations between Chu and Zheng. Zixi returned triumphantly after signing the peace treaty of friendship between Chu and Zheng from generation to generation and never fighting again.

This meddling of the Jin State directly ruined Bai Gongsheng's revenge plan, and Bai Gongsheng was so angry that he was so angry!

But what makes Bai Gongsheng even more angry is the truce agreement signed between Zixi and Zheng Guo.

With this covenant in place, Baigong Sheng's revenge has no legitimacy, and his grand plan can only be nothing but fantasy!
Bai Gongsheng turned his head up to the sky and shouted loudly, and suddenly cursed continuously. His final conclusion was: My hatred has nothing to do with Zheng Guo, and Zixi has officially become my enemy!

The fact that Bai Gongsheng was able to return to Chu was actually the result of Zixi's persistence.

However, at this time Zixi was replaced by Bai Gongsheng as an enemy.

Bai Gongsheng never stopped doing one thing, sharpened his knife every day, and without the slightest concealment, openly threatened to kill Zixi, a dog.

Zixi didn't take it seriously, and often smiled contemptuously at Bai Gongsheng: You are still far from playing with me!
However, the final result was that Bai Gongsheng succeeded!
In 479 BC, after Bai Gongsheng defeated the Wu army, he took the opportunity to launch a rebellion in the name of offering spoils, killed Zixi and Ziqi, imprisoned King Chu Hui, and proclaimed himself King of Chu.

Soon after, Duke Ye led the army to attack King Qin, and together with the people in Chu State, they attacked Bai Gongsheng.

Bai Gongsheng was defeated and hanged himself to death, and King Chu Hui was restored to the throne.

This is the famous "Bai Gong Sheng Rebellion" in history.

Therefore, what Qingji valued was not only the background of Young Master Sheng, but also his capricious character.

This kind of [-]-year-old boy is not at ease if he is placed by his side, but if he is placed inside the enemy, the effect will be different!
"Mr. Sheng, if I help you return to Chu, you may be able to take back the Chu kingship that your father lost. I don't know how you will repay me? How will you repay Wu?"

The main event is coming!
Hearing this, Xiong Sheng's face blushed unconsciously, with uncontrollable excitement.

He hurriedly stood up, then knelt down towards Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, if your Majesty assists your ministers to return to Chu, and even wins the position of King of Chu, we will set things right."

"My lord, I wish to honor the King as the Lord. The Chu State will take Wu State as its suzerain from generation to generation, pay tribute every year, and enter the court every year!"

Young master Sheng said a burst of hype.

It's like writing a bad check!
Is it credible?
Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, what Qingji wants is the attitude of Gongzi Sheng, nothing more.

There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, this statement is false!

Because looking at the entire Spring and Autumn Period, most of the wars fought among the nations were wars of name.

Every country has the tradition of destroying the country without extinction.

Even, overlords such as Jin and Qi often send troops to help some small countries uphold justice.

For example, after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the "Five Princes Rebellion" broke out in Qi State. The well-known benevolent and righteous overlord Song Xianggong held a meeting of princes non-stop to support Qi Xiaogong, and Song Xianggong became famous for this.

For another example, when Qingji was in trouble, he fled to the state of Wei. It was Jin, Qi, Wei, Lu, Song and other Central Plains countries that sponsored him, enabling him to recruit troops, counterattack Helu, and regain his rightful throne.

Now, Qing Ji can naturally support Young Master Sheng to seize the throne.

It's just that it's not cost-effective to send troops to attack Chu, and it may be counterproductive!

"good!"

Qing Ji slightly nodded and said: "Mr. Sheng, if you win the throne, I don't need Chu to be a vassal and pay tribute. What I hope is that Wu and Chu will live in harmony, and there will be no more wars!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and I admire you."

Xiong Sheng said in admiration.

As everyone knows, in his heart he despises such a sanctimonious statement like Qingji.

If son Sheng can really become the king of Chu one day, and rule the country of Chu, with Qing Ji's greed, how can he not think of ways to tear a large piece of flesh from the country of Chu?
"I don't know how the king plans to help his ministers regain the throne?"

Young Master Sheng said with a look of anticipation on his face.

"The widow originally planned to send troops directly. However, Mr. Sheng must be aware of the feud between Wu and Chu. If Wu sends troops, the whole of Chu will definitely be unanimous. It will only backfire, and it will cause Chu people to resent Mr. Sheng."
