Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 382
Surging waves beat the shore, thousands of sails race away.

On the mighty river, more than a dozen huge ships are advancing.

Among them, the largest ship hangs an exclusive banner as King Wu!
At this moment, Qingji took his concubines and children, a family of dozens of people, to enjoy the surrounding scenery on the big river.

As the king of a country, Qingji is busy when he says he is busy, and he is not busy when he says he is not busy!
At least, Qingji still has time to travel around with his wife and children.

This time, Qingji didn't really travel.

The purpose of his trip was to take a boat to Zhufang County to inspect Wu's shipbuilding industry, and to Yanling's seaside to inspect Wu's salt-making technology.

Qingji just brought dozens of his wives and children out to play!

As a qualified husband and a qualified father, Qingji is also unwilling to let his wife and children sit in the palace like caged birds and canaries, making it difficult to see the outside world.

"My lord, the river is windy, drink a bowl of ginseng soup to nourish your body."

When Qingji was fishing by the boat, Queen Ji Pao came to him with lotus steps and brought a bowl of steaming ginseng soup at the same time.

It's still Ji Kui who cares about Qing Ji!

When he was bored on the boat, Qingji would inevitably play some "absurd games" with his concubines, such as bai ri xuan xuan xuan, da bei tong ng y ng.

The profound meaning here is not enough for outsiders to understand!

Although almost squeezed out, Qingji still enjoys it.

Qingji thought that he should also restrain himself, lest his body be overwhelmed.

After all, sex is a bone-scraping knife!

"Let's put it aside for now."

Qingji felt the fishing rod in his hand shaking, obviously a fish had bitten the hook, so he pulled it up slowly.

A big fish that cannot be caught with one hand is a big carp!

After putting the carp into the bamboo basket, Qingji caught a glimpse of Ji Kuo's hesitant to speak again, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"Queen, if you have something to say, you don't need to be polite to me."

"Your Majesty..."

Ji Pao hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "It's about the uncle. The uncle came to look for the concubine the day before yesterday, and asked the concubine to inquire on his behalf. I wonder when the king will decide on the candidate for Dazai?"

Hearing this, Qingji was a little bit dumbfounded.

"The old man Ji Zha is really... Could it be that the widow can still play a rogue and go back on his word?"

It's hard to say!

Ji Kui's heart was filled with slander.

She believed in Qingji's personality.

Qingji has never been a person who breaks his promise.

It's just that it depends on who is treated and under what circumstances!

Back then, Qingji was a beggar who asked Ji Zha to be the grand minister of Wu to help him stabilize the court.

Ji Zha even excused himself from his illness, but Qingji didn't let him go!
These things are still vivid in Ji Zha's mind so far!
However, Qingji keeps his promises, and his promises are usually fulfilled.

But what Ji Zha is worried about is Qingji's use of the "drag word formula".

Just like Da Sima Sunping resigned on the same day, wanting to retire after success.

Qingji quasi-play!

We just have to wait for Sun Wu to come back from Lingnan before he can step down.

When exactly, no one knows.

But Sun Ping didn't dare to ask, and didn't dare to have any objections!
Ji Zha was about to step down as Dazai, Qingji never revealed who would be his successor, which made Jizha unable to step down for a long time!
As a last resort, Ji Zha had no choice but to find out about Qingji's tone by asking Queen Ji Pao.

After all, they are a family, so Qingji won't go too far!

"Queen, tell me, among the four people recommended by my uncle, who is more suitable to be the Grand Priest and to be in charge of the government of our country of Wu?"

Qingji suddenly asked.

He wanted to hear Queen Ji Pao's opinion.

But Ji Pao lowered his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my concubines dare not interfere in politics..."

"The widow asks you to say it, so you can say it, it doesn't matter."

Qingji is very open-minded.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang!

When multiple people around you can discuss things together, the effect is different.

Even though Qingji already had a suitable candidate in mind, he still wanted to consider it.

After all, the position of Dazai is a position below one person and above ten thousand people, which is very important.

Qingji can't be too casual!

Ji Pao seriously thought for a long time, and finally said: "The old uncle asked to resign, and recommended four people including Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, Zuo Chancellor Wenzhong, Right Chancellor Ji Ran, and Da Xingling Kongqiu."

"The concubine thinks that Fan Li and Wen Zhong are a little young, but they may not be stable enough in their thirties."

"In terms of qualifications and merits, Prime Minister You is the number one. In terms of popularity, Confucius is the leader."

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Ji Ran and Kong Qiu? Shan. Then who is more suitable for the position of Dazai?"

Fan Li and Wen Zhong, based on their merits, are indeed able to serve as Dazai.

However, in the eyes of Queen Ji Kui, the two are still "young", only thirty or forty years old, and they are probably not stable enough.

Nothing wrong!

"If your majesty wants his concubines to recommend someone from among them, it should be a plan."

"Why?"

"Kong Qiu is a latecomer after all. Although he has made a lot of contributions and achieved outstanding achievements, he is not as good as Prime Minister You."

After a pause, Ji Pao said again: "Furthermore, when Confucius governed the country, he advocated softness, focused on enlightenment, respected Zhou rituals, and restored the ancient system. This is also contrary to the law pursued by the king."

"Ji Ran is different. Ji Ran is the mean, pursues the rule of inaction, can stabilize the situation very well, does not make many changes and keeps the water flowing, isn't this what the king values?"

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, the queen is the one who knows the widow."

"Your thinking coincides with that of the widow."

Compared with the Confucianism of Confucius, Qingji is obviously a more likable Huang-Lao technique.

Of course, the Confucian way of governing the country is not worthless.

The feudal dynasties of later generations all used the template of Confucian skin and legal bones, which can be seen!
During the nine years of Qingji's reign, he made great efforts to govern, implemented new laws, and worked hard. Only then did the general framework of Wu State be determined.

The road has basically been laid, and it only needs to be "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" and follow the previous new law intact!

This is where Qingji values ​​Jiran!

"My lord, my concubine has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Ji Kui, who frowned slightly, asked again.

"But it doesn't matter."

"After the uncle left office, I wonder if the king will let the uncle return to the state?"

"Let him go."

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "Ji Zha has worked hard all his life for Wu, it's time to enjoy the rest of his life."

"Your Majesty is benevolent. However, I think my uncle must be at a loss as well. As a concubine, I don't know if your majesty can confer on your uncle as a grand master, so that he can be the teacher of all the princes?"

Master?

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

Taishi, the official name, began in the Shang Dynasty. During the time of Yin Zhou, Jizi was the Taishi, and during the time of King Wu of Zhou, the Taigong was the Taishi.

In the past dynasties, Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were regarded as the "Three Masters" or "Three Dukes", and most of them were titles of high officials without actual authority.

With Ji Zha's merits, it is understandable to be named Grand Master!
