Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 532 Zheng Guoyou Qimu

"Uncle Shao, you will be Zheng Qing of Zheng Guo, and you will stay in Xinzheng to assist Prime Minister Zheng Bo."

"promise!"

After some deliberation, Qingji made this decision.

Fan Li, Bo Tong, and Wu Zixu have similar abilities, but different personalities.

The way of dealing with the world is also completely different.

Bo Tong's behavior is smooth enough, but his greedy personality is unpleasant and may be hated by Zheng people.

What's more, without Qingji's beating on the sidelines, it's not certain what kind of trouble Bo Tong will make.

Wu Zixu has a violent personality, lacks a certain political acumen, and has a low emotional intelligence.

Zheng Guo's internal situation is relatively complicated.

Wu Zixu couldn't eat it.

Fan Li is different.

Fan Li has both civil and military skills, and can be flexible. He can really be a general and a prime minister. He is extremely talented in politics. Qingji can trust Fan Li.

"Uncle Shao, there are seven mus in the state of Zheng. Beginning with Duke Zheng Xiang, the seven mus have held the power of the ministers of Zheng Guo for generations, and they have been in power alternately, forming the Qing clan."

Qingji still did not forget to warn, saying: "You should try your best to unite the noble family of Zheng Guo, and take Zheng Bo's power aside."

"If you have any difficulties, you can report directly to the widow."

"promise!"

Fan Li immediately agreed.

Qimu is the collective name of the seven noble families of Zheng State, including the Si family, Han family, Guo family, Liang family, Yin family, You family, and Feng family.

They are all descendants of Zheng Mugong, and like the three Huans of Lu State and the six ministers of Jin State, they are all ruling from the Qing family.

Duke Mu of Zheng had thirteen sons, among whom Prince Yi (Ji Yi) and Prince Jian (Ji Jian) ​​successively became Zheng Linggong and Zheng Xianggong.

Zikong died in civil strife, and Ziran and the son of Shizikong fled abroad under the influence of Zikong, and Ziyu's descendants were not ministers.

The remaining Zihan (Gongzixi), Zisi, Zifeng, Ziyou (Gongziyan), Ziyin, Ziguo, Ziliang (Gongzi Quji) and their descendants are collectively called Qimu.

In the political struggle, Qi Mu gradually controlled the political power of Zheng State, and among the Qi Mu, the Han family was the strongest.

Zheng Qimu first occupied the three ministers, then the six ministers, and gradually infiltrated until he fully controlled the Zheng State regime.

Zichan, as well as the current Zhengqing Ji Simian, are actually from Qimu.

If Fan Li wanted to gain a firm foothold in Zheng State, it would be impossible without Qi Mu's support.

Of course, Fan Li had better be able to eliminate the clans like Qimu of Zheng State and ban them one by one...

Why?

Because the relatives still maintain the lifeline of the royal family, it seems that it is in their interests to maintain the royal family in name.

Although there is no chance of seizing the throne, there is no family that can clean up this chaotic situation.

"Bo Tong, you are in charge of going to the state of Jin on behalf of the widow to express condolences to the Marquis of Jin."

"promise!"

Qingji said meaningfully: "Once the Marquis of Jin dies, the state of Jin will surely usher in greater chaos."

"You can visit the six ministers one by one on behalf of the widow, and if you have the opportunity, you can instigate them to embezzle the land of the public city for profit."

"Tell them, why can't the nobles take the princes instead?"

"With my secret alliance with Wu, I can not only sell them a lot of weapons and equipment, but also give them convenience at critical moments. If possible, why can't I make the emperor rank among the princes and sit on an equal footing with me?"

Hearing this, Bo Tong couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he bowed to Qing Ji and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Your servant, I respectfully obey the king's orders!"

Qingji's move was absolutely perfect.

Respected as a prince?

Presumably, this is the lifelong wish of the Liuqing of Jin.

In the event of civil strife or even a split in the Jin state, Wu would take advantage of it the most.

Wu Guo can take advantage of the outbreak of a melee in Jin State to sell a large amount of weapons and equipment, earn a lot of money, and further weaken the power of Jin State.

This is really a feat.

Zhou Tianzi is now just Qingji's puppet.

With such a righteous name, it is only a matter of one sentence for the Zhou royal family to confer the six ministers as princes.

As long as they are strong enough and have such ambitions, why can't Qingji complete Liuqing?
Jinhou Jiwu and Zheng Bo passed away at the same time. Considering the huge influence of Jin, the princes will definitely go to Xintian, the capital of Jin, to express their condolences.

Qingji is different.

Not to mention that Zheng Guo had just paid tribute to Wu Guo, Qing Ji wanted to give face.

The present Qingji did not dare to rashly enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

Jin people, especially the six officials of the state of Jin are a bunch of shameless people who don't talk about martial arts.

The last time Zhuanyi almost succeeded in assassinating Qingji.

If Qingji hadn't been on guard, he might have died in Diaoyutai just like Jinhou Jiwu.

Who can guarantee.

Would the people of Jin dare to risk the displeasure of the world by sending people to assassinate Qingji, or even openly besiege and kill Qingji?

Qingji cherishes his life very much, it is impossible for him to commit a crime knowingly.

After that, Qingji also planned to build a huge weapons workshop (arsenal) in Luoyi Wangji to sell weapons and equipment more conveniently.

It is conceivable that once there is a civil strife in Jin, the rest of the vassal states will certainly not live in peace.

The more fiercely the vassal states of the Central Plains fight and the more brutal the war, the more Wu can earn.

Take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in war!

……

After attending Zheng Boji's funeral, Qingji set off for Jinling, the capital of Wu.

Just like in history, Ji Pun's posthumous title was "Zheng Dinggong", and Ji Wu's posthumous title was "Jin Dinggong".

After Jin Dinggong Ji Wu's death, the successor was Ji Chiu, who was the Duke of Jin in history.

Ji Wu was unlucky and died more than [-] years earlier, so his son Ji Chiu was not yet ten years old.

Orphaned and widowed, the Lord Shaoguo suspects that the power of the Marquis of Jin will be further eroded, and even reduced to a puppet in the hands of the Six Ministers of Jin who are inferior to the Son of Zhou.

However, all of this has little to do with the present Qing Ji.

Qing Ji still doesn't know whether the Jin Congress will break out in scuffle and then split up.

It is only predictable that the struggle within Jin will definitely intensify.

If Qingji remembers correctly, the Zhengqing Shiyang of the Jin Kingdom will not live for two years.

Once Shi Yang died, the situation in Jin became even more difficult to control.

Qingji also took pains to make Wu Guoxiong famous in the world.

Tian Rangju sits in Luoyi, Fan Li sits in Zheng, and Sun Wu sits in Jingdi. At three o'clock and one line, they can firmly contain the momentum of Jin's southward movement.

At this time, the state of Wu can basically put an end to the threat from the north.

Qingji has been able to free up his hands and use all his energy to peacefully develop Wu's national power and further strengthen it.

At the beginning of September in the lunar calendar, when returning to Jinling to celebrate Jiji, a grand court meeting will be held according to the past practice.

All officials with a rank of more than six hundred shi must participate.

"My king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

More than [-] ministers, all under the Majesty's platform, knelt down towards Qingji and shouted in unison.

"No gift, flat!"

"Thank you king!"
