Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 582 The Overlord of the World
At this time, in the Zide Hall, seeing Qingji's unmoved Kong Qiu, he couldn't help feeling anxious, and then sighed: "Your Majesty, Yang Hu is quite capable, and he was favored by the Ji family in his early years. But Yang Hu wants to kill the Ji family and bring chaos to the Lu country."

"Your Majesty may not know that this person once said, 'Being benevolent is not rich, and being rich is not benevolent'. He is a person who only cares about profit and loss, and has no morals at all!"

"Yang Hu fled to Qi State because of the failed coup d'état in Lu State, which was not tolerated by Qi people, and defected to Wu State, wanting to be used by the king."

"Now that the Lu and Qi countries are finally free from this disaster, the king takes him in and listens to him. Isn't it just inviting wolves into the house?"

Hearing this, Qingji just shook his head and said, "Kongqiu, in your opinion, how does my country of Wu compare to the countries of Qi and Lu?"

"The two countries of Qi and Lu are naturally not as powerful as our Wu country..."

"Then, how does the widow compare to the Jisun family and the Marquis of Qi?"

Confucius didn't know what Qingji wanted to do, but he replied honestly: "Your Majesty is a talent from heaven, a generation of heroes, how can Ji Sun and Qihou be compared?"

"Very much."

Isn't this over?
Seeing that Qing Ji seemed to be determined to appoint Yang Hu and keep Yang Hu in Wu, Kong Qiu couldn't help but sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Hu is good at stealing other people's state affairs, please be careful, Your Majesty." ..."

Qing Ji just smiled slightly and said, "What Yang Hu is good at stealing is political power that can be stolen."

"Since Yang Hu wants to steal the government of the widow, the widow will definitely stick to his own!"

"This……"

Seeing such a confident Qingji, Kong Qiu was speechless, thinking that Qingji was too self-willed in this matter.

Qingji glanced at it and knew what Kong Qiu was thinking.

At this time, Confucius must have been slandering Qingji in his heart.

However, Qing Ji, who has the capacity to accommodate people, doesn't care about these details.

Qingji said slowly: "Confucius, don't you know that the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is the greatest?"

"If you don't have a broad mind and the generosity to tolerate others, how can you rule the Wu Kingdom and achieve hegemony?"

"Yanghu is talented but not virtuous. I know it very well. I only need to keep it for a while before I can know whether it can be used by me and make a difference in the country of Wu."

"promise."

Kong Qiu still felt uncomfortable and was not reconciled.

However, Qing Ji has already said this, if Kong Qiu speaks again and slanders Yang Hu, it will be his fault!
Pattern, must open pattern!

Qingji took another deep look at Kong Qiu and asked, "Kong Qiu, I heard that you had some grievances with Yang Hu in the past?"

"good."

Reminiscing about the past, Confucius couldn't help sighing: "Your Majesty, when I was young, I was greedy, and I especially loved suckling pork."

"Once there is a chance to eat, I will not let it go easily."

"Once, the Ji family of Lu State invited scholars to a banquet, and the minister also went happily."

"However, when I arrived at the gate of Ji's house, Yang Hu, who was Ji's retainer at that time, refused to let me in, and said to me: "The Ji family does not dare to feed his sons."

"In desperation, the minister had no choice but to return, and he returned bitterly."

At that time, Kong Qiu was 17 years old.

Yang Hu's words and deeds undoubtedly caused great harm to the young man's heart.

In fact, Yang Hu can't be entirely blamed for this matter, he just followed the rules.

However, the word "dare" in the sentence "not dare to feed your son" does have a strong contemptuous tone.

Confucius was deeply ashamed of this...

"My lord, this happened more than 30 years ago, and I don't care about it anymore."

Kong Qiu shook his head and said: "The feud between the minister and Yang Hu has a long history, and it is nothing in front of the great right and wrong, but mediocre."

Old Master Confucius is still a relatively magnanimous person.

How can the volume be narrow?

The book "Liezi" summarizes the hardships that Confucius suffered in his life into four: Poor in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Surrounded by Chen Cai, Subdued by Ji Shi, Humiliated by Yang Hu.

Among them, the dilemma of "surrounding Chen Cai and humiliating Yang Hu" is directly related to Yang Hu, and the other dilemma is more or less related to Yang Hu.

Qingji still remembers that the Yanghu in history seemed to be killed by people sent by Confucius.

Don't know if it's true.

To be on the safe side, Qingji didn't plan to put Yang Hu and Kong Qiu in the same office to work together.

In that case, maybe something will happen!

……

After Qingji persuaded Kongqiu to settle his suspicions with Yanghu, Shen Baoxu, a senior official from the state of Chu, was welcomed again.

Shen Baoxu's status at this time is quite special, he is not only a doctor of Chu State, but also an official worshiper of Wu State.

In the state of Wu, Shen Baoxu's status is equivalent to that of Jiuqing, but he travels between Jinling and Yingdu all the year round...

This time when Shen Baoxu returned to Jinling from Yingdu, he was on an envoy for the state of Chu.

"Your Majesty, the people of Jin dare to invade the Zhou family and Zheng State, and brazenly send troops. Obviously, they don't take Great Wu seriously!"

Shen Baoxu said indignantly: "Duke Chu holds grievances for the king, and for the state of Wu. If the king conquers Jin and invades the Central Plains, then our country of Chu is willing to be a pawn, and we will surely make meritorious deeds for the king!"

Obviously, Shen Baoxu's purpose this time was to persuade Qingji to send troops to Jin and attack the Central Plains.

But Qingji has his own opinions in his heart, so why would he listen to Shen Baoxu's instigation?
Qingji knew very well what the Chu people were thinking.

The war between Wu and Jin will affect the whole body. Whether it is victory or defeat, it will be difficult for Wu to recover from the war.

Isn't the purpose of the Chu people just to let the state of Wu fight for years, resort to military force, and build large-scale construction projects, so as to consume the national power of the state of Wu?
However, even so, it is really difficult for the Chu people to have the opportunity to regain lost ground and replace Wu's southern hegemony.

Unless Qingji is as stupid as Fu Chai, the king of Wu in history, and gave Chu people a chance to sneak in...

"The Jin army is so powerful that we dare not attack it."

Qingji smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Shen Baoxu became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that the Jin Kingdom has risen, it aims to restore the hegemony of the Central Plains. Song, Lu, Wei and other countries are swinging between Wu and Jin."

"If Your Majesty withdrew from the competition for the land of Zhou and Zheng, wouldn't he give up all Wu's influence in the Central Plains? Is it possible?"

"If this is the case, all the efforts that the king has made before will be in vain!"

"And if the state of Wu has Zhou Zheng's land as a springboard, it will attack the Central Plains in the future and defeat the Jin division, and the king's position as the world's hegemony will be within easy reach!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji waved his hands lightly and said, "Shen Zi, there is no need to say more."

"I don't want to do this, what does Fang Bo's respect have to do with me?"

"This……"

At this time, Shen Baoxu was also very speechless when he saw such a reckless Qingji.

However, Shen Baoxu has stayed in Wu for many years, so he has a rather taboo personality.

Qingji is a man of one word, especially when it comes to state affairs.

In a word, once Qingji has decided on something, don't want him to change his mind!
