Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 399
"Doctor Yan, I, Wu Zixu, did all the tricks of deceiving your father to stay in Wu and deceiving your whole family to go south."

Wu Zixu had a painful expression on his face, and he still knelt down and said: "Now I come to the door to apologize, just to ask Doctor Yan and his son to forgive me!"

"What Wei Wei said is too much."

Yan Yu hurriedly said: "Why have I ever blamed Wei Wei in my heart?"

"Weiwei, please get up quickly."

However, no matter how Yan Yu tried to persuade him, Wu Zixu didn't stand up, nor did he take off the thorns on his back.

Seeing Wu Zixu's stubborn appearance, Yan Yu could only sigh, and turned back to his house to persuade his father Yan Ying.

After all, Wu Zixu was the favored minister of King Qingji of Wu, an important minister of a country, if something happened to his house, Yan Yu would not be able to afford it!

However, Yan Ying, who went on a hunger strike and claimed to be righteous and does not eat Wu Mi, is also a stubborn donkey.

When he learned that Wu Zixu was pleading guilty and couldn't kneel on the ice and snow, Yan Ying hesitated, but still ignored Wu Zixu.

At this time, three military chariots came and stopped directly behind Wu Zixu.

The person who came here was Wu Wang Qingji.

"Your Majesty..."

"Zixu, is Yan Ying still unwilling to forgive you?"

"Yan Ying is a stubborn old man, he won't betray the face of a minister, but he will definitely give the face of the king."

The corners of Wu Zixu's mouth were raised and curved, as if everything was under control.

Wu Zixu saw this matter very thoroughly.

Yan Ying was extremely witty and intelligent. He hated being tricked by Wu Zixu, which caused his family members to flee to Wu.

And the reason why Yan Ying did such a thing of not eating Wu Mi was because he couldn't get rid of his face, and he couldn't bear to show his old face.

Evening is not guaranteed!

Therefore, at this time, Qing Ji and Wu Zixu had to give Yan Ying a big face, make his face bright, and let the world know that Yan Ying was still a loyal minister and a loyal minister of Qi.

However, Yan Ying had no choice but to settle down in Wu State due to various pressures and Wu Zixu's schemes.

Wu Zixu scoffed at Yan Ying's idea of ​​setting up a chastity archway while being a mistress.

However, considering Qingji's feelings, in order to avoid his monarch's infamy and being accused by thousands of people, Wu Zixu also went all out.

"Wu Wang (big king)."

As expected by Wu Zixu, after Qingji arrived in person, Yan Ying, Yan Yu and his father and son hurried out, went to the gate of the mansion, and bowed to Qingji.

"Yan Zi, Yan Qing, the widow came to visit today, and I didn't expect to see such things."

Qingji shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Yan Yu's mind was buzzing, and then he came to the side, untied the thorns for Wu Zixu who was kneeling on the ground, and helped him stand up.

For all this, Wu Zixu did not refuse.

Because Yan Ying can come out, it is enough to prove that his efforts were not in vain!

"King of Wu, Yan Ying was born in Qi and grew up in Qi. He lived in Qi all his life and ate corn from Qi. Now he lives in Wu and is not used to eating Wu rice."

Yan Ying said frankly: "Please forgive me, King Wu. Let Yan Ying return to Qi State, so that he can take care of his life, I wonder if it is possible?"

"If Yan Zi wants to return to Qi, I have no objection."

"really?"

"You have no jokes."

Seeing Qingji's openness, and his expression not fake, Yan Ying hesitated instead.

In fact, Qingji didn't care at all whether Yan Ying could settle in Wu and work for him.

The state of Wu is now full of talented people, including Wen Zhong, Fan Li, Wu Zixu, etc., who are well-known in the world.

It is true that Yan Ying is a talent for governing the country, but after all, he is old and old, and he has reached the age where he really wants to retire!

What's the use of being so old?
The usefulness of Yan Ying in the Wu Kingdom can only be enshrined by Qingji, used to preach to the Wu people, receive karma and solve doubts, and write a book by himself...

At this moment, Qing Ji looked at Yan Ying who was trapped in Chen Mo, and said with a smile, "Yan Zi, I have heard that Yan Zi used to serve in Chu, and made things difficult for Chu people, I wonder if it is true?"

"Of course."

Yan Ying nodded.

When Yan Ying was sent as an envoy to the state of Chu, the king of Chu insulted Yan Ying three times in an attempt to show the prestige of the state of Chu, but Yan Ying counterattacked cleverly, safeguarding the dignity of himself and the state of Qi.

This event is not only sung by people all over the world, but also a historical allusion that is well-known in later generations.

"Yanzi said: Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. I think that is true. For example, oranges and trifoliate leaves are similar, but in fact they taste different. Why? The water and soil are different."

"Now that Yanzi enters Wu, he should be the orange of Huaibei, and when he enters Huainan, he will be the orange? Is it the orange?"

Qingji's words are very meaningful.

As a smart person, the wily and calculating Yan Ying can naturally hear the mystery from it.

"King Wu, when the orange from Huaibei enters Huainan, it will still be the orange, because the orange cannot be changed for a while."

"If Hovenia is rooted in Huainan, how about it?"

"If things go on like this, trifoliate oranges will become oranges."

Yan Ying seemed to have suddenly realized.

Qingji was using things as a metaphor to remind Yan Ying that the Yan clan had already moved to Wu, and they were bound to take root here before returning to Qi, not to mention whether the Marquis of Qi could accept it.

It is impossible for the major families of Qi who have already received benefits to let Yan Shi go back.

It's like opening a bow without turning back.

This piece of cake in Qi State is only that big, so Yan Shi went back to divide the cake, isn't it to harm the interests of each family?

"Yanzi, I want to appoint you as the head of the Jixia Academy, and give you the title of Grand Tutor. I will help you teach the princes. I don't know if Yanzi is willing?"

"Sir, please obey the king's orders."

Yan Ying, who was "enlightened" by Qing Ji, did not refuse after all.

He is not a pedantic person, even if he values ​​his reputation, he will not do anything stupid.

In the past, Yan Ying couldn't think about it and got into a dead end, but now it's different.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to work on.

Qi State could not tolerate Yan Ying, but Wu State could allow Yan Ying to continue to shine in the rest of his life!
……

The next day.

In Fengtian Hall, Qingji and his officials are welcoming Tian Rangju who came from afar.

Tian Rangju was flattered by Qingji's kindness.

He had guessed that he was framed and forced to flee from Qi country, and Qing Ji was probably the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the matter has come to this point, is there any way back for Tian Rangju?
"Tian Qing, the widow wants to worship you as the great Sima of Wu, and give food to five hundred households in Jinling. I wonder if you will accept it?"

Qingji supported Tian Rangju's hands, and asked with a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

This made the ministers in the court feel envious.

Tian Rangju is just an outsider, yet Qingji thinks so highly of him!

Seeing this, Tian Rangju couldn't help being startled, took a step back, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have just entered the Wu Kingdom and have not made any achievements. How dare I steal the high position of Da Sima?"

"Please take back your orders, Your Majesty, and don't break the evil officials!"
