Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 626
Gong Ziheng is a hero who resembles Qingji, forging ahead and ambitious.

And Gong Zihong is the king who guards the land and opens up the frontier, benevolent and loving for the people, and has outstanding abilities.

Qingji's choice of Gongzi Heng can make Wu's national strength to a higher level.

If the young master lived long enough, he might be able to accomplish the feat of unifying the world.

However, Gong Ziheng may also cause Wu's hegemony to collapse, or even perish, and fall into a situation of eternal doom.

If Qingji chooses to appoint Gong Zihong as the crown prince, with the latter's character and ability, he will make great efforts to make the state of Wu peacefully develop and prosper, which can lay a solid foundation for the state of Wu to unify the world and achieve great governance in the future.

Prince Heng is like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei in history.

There are certain character flaws, but they are harmless.

But with Wu's national strength, can Young Master Heng be allowed to squander it wantonly?
Gong Zihong is like Fusu and Zhu Biao in history.

Benevolence, filial piety, but also fortitude.

Of course, Fusu may not be able to speak of fortitude. After receiving the false edict from Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, this guy actually committed suicide and apologized. It is really pedantic...

However, this just proves that Fusu is very filial.

Young Master Hong has always been very filial to Qing Ji, which is what Qing Ji values.

Who doesn't love a dutiful child?

"Your Majesty, in fact, the veteran is still more optimistic about Young Master Heng."

After thinking for a long time, Ji Zha bowed to Qingji and said, "Please trust your son and the ministers of Wu."

"Master Heng will make some mistakes, if he can correct them in time, it will be fine."

"As long as Mr. Heng is like a great king, good at accepting advice, and able to follow good advice, our Wu Kingdom's hegemony will continue to grow, and even complete the unfinished business of the king!"

"..."

Hearing this, Qingji fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Ji Zha also knew that under the rule of Gong Ziheng, the state of Wu would be strong, but the potential risks were not small.

Gong Zihong is more like a generation of benevolent monarchs who carry on the past and open up the future. He is not good at pioneering and forging ahead. Most of the time, he will tirelessly seek peaceful development for Wu, but he can stabilize Wu's country...

The choice Qingji is facing now is like King Qin Huiwen in history.

King Qin Huiwen's son, Qin Wuwang Yingdang, is considered a capable monarch.

During his reign, King Wu of Qin emphasized martial arts and was warlike. During his reign, he pacified the chaos in Shu, set up a prime minister, pulled out Yiyang, set up three rivers, improved the law of fields, revised the borders, dredged rivers, built embankments and bridges.

It is a pity that after entering the land of Wang Ji of the Zhou royal family, Qin Wuwang and Meng Shuo competed to hold the "Longwen Chiding". As a result, his eyes bleed and his tibia was broken. At night, he died of exhaustion at the age of 23...

There is no doubt that Qin Wuwang is a generation of heroes.

In terms of diplomacy, he even defended Qin, united with Yue to control Chu, and was invincible in all attacks and victories.

In addition, King Qin Wu was also good at accepting advice.

Before General Gan Mao conquered Han, he made an alliance with King Wu of Qin.

Gan Mao attacked Yiyang for five months but failed to capture it. Ministers of Qin State Chi Liji and Gongsun Shi raised objections.

King Wu of Qin wanted to call Gan Mao back to his country and planned to withdraw his troops.Gan Mao used the alliance to renew the soil, and the story was repeated, so King Wu of Qin increased his troops by [-] and sent Wuhuo to assist Gan Mao.

Gan Mao also distributed his private wealth to reward his subordinates, and the Qin army's morale was really boosted, and they repelled the South Korean reinforcements...

It is conceivable that if Yingdang lives long enough and lives for a few more decades, Qin will have two outcomes.

One is that King Qin Wu's achievements are greater than that of King Qin Zhaoxiang, and the other is that Qin's national power has plummeted because of King Qin Wu's military arrogance...

……

The next day, Qingji proposed the establishment of a reserve at the Great Court Meeting in Fengtian Temple.

For such things, the officials of the state of Wu are very active.

After all, this is the work of the dragon!

Of course, ministers like Ji Ran, Sun Wu, and Wu Zixu did not speak and remained silent.

Because they have worked hard for a long time, they don't have to rely on the merits of Conglong to increase their ranks.

As for whether they can keep their position, they don't care too much.

Why?

Because they are not young, they know the year of destiny!

And Qingji has not even reached the age of forty, maybe they will all pass away before Qingji.

That being the case, why should they get involved?

At this time, in the court of Wu State, there were mainly four factions.

One is the old aristocratic faction of Wu's native land.

One is the Chu faction.

One is the Yue faction.

One is the Qi faction.

The old clan faction in Wu State is headed by Shen Xi, Be Li, Zhu Yong and others, and their forces are intricate.

The faction of Chu State, headed by Fan Li, Wu Zixu, Bo Tong and others, occupies a place, and it is the only faction that can compete with the old family ministers of the native Wu State.

No, generally speaking, the faction of Chu State is the largest faction in the court of Wu State, and even in the ruling and opposition parties...

The Yue faction, headed by Goujian, Luming and others, also recruited some officials from Song, Lu, Wei, Chen and other Central Plains countries to form cliques.

The Qi faction, headed by Sun Wu, Tian Rangju and others, has always been a neutral faction. Except for Yan Ying's family who speak in the court, the Qi faction has a greater say in the army.

Among the four factions, the faction of Chu State is the strongest, followed by the faction of the old family of Wu State, followed by the faction of Yue State, and finally the faction of Qi State.

It stands to reason that the seats occupied by the Qi people in the court hall of the Wu state are not much less than those of the Chu state. Why are they inferior to the Yue state faction?
This has to be said, Gou Jian's ability to buy people's hearts.

To be precise, it was Gou Jian who was recruiting ministers and scholars from the Central Plains countries under the banner of recruiting party members for the son Heng...

Because, Young Master Heng is Qingji's eldest son, the possibility of inheriting the throne in the future is obviously greater!

"Your Majesty!"

The doctor ordered Gou Jian to come out and said: "I think that abolishing the elders to establish the young, and abolishing the sons to establish the concubine, have been the way to bring disaster since ancient times."

"If you have a heir, you will establish a heir, if you have no heir, you will establish an elder, and if you have no heir, you will establish a virtuous man!"

"I have heard that the other son is the ancestor, the one who succeeds you is the clan, the one who succeeds you is the small clan, and the clan that moved after five generations is also the one who succeeds the great ancestor."

"It is to let the ancestors move to the top, and the clan is easy to descend. Respect the ancestors and respect the ancestors. Respecting the ancestors is the reason for respecting the ancestors. Those who don't worship the ancestors will know their ancestors!"

"This is the principle of the patriarchal system, how can the king override it?"

There were Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. The throne of the Xia Dynasty was succeeded by sons, and occasionally it was passed on to brothers.

In the Shang Dynasty, the throne was mostly passed on to younger brothers, and finally the youngest brother passed it on to the elder brother's eldest son, or passed it on to his own son.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and established Zhou, his capital was in Haojing, and he changed "Emperor" to "King".

The throne of the Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulates that only the eldest son will be passed on, and it is "passed on to the descendants but not to the concubines, and to the elders but not to the virtuous".

As soon as Goujian's words fell, Deng Xi, the censor Zhongcheng, followed and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lang Zhongling said is very true!"

"Where is the patriarchal clan? Since ancient times, the eldest son of the princes is the son, and the heirs are the princes."

"After the rest of the branches and concubines, there are many clans, and they are afraid that they will disperse and have no unity, because it is the law of the big clan and the small clan."

"Once upon a time, the late king Shoumeng had four sons: the eldest son Zhu Fan, the second son Yu Ji, the third son Yi Mei, and the fourth son Ji Zha."

"Shoumeng prefers Jizi, and wants to pass on the throne. Jizi understands the righteousness, and refuses to accept it."

"Before King Shoumeng died, he told his eldest son, Zhu Fan, that the throne must be shared by brother and brother, so that it could finally be passed on to Ji Zha. Zhu Fan responded with tears."

"Since this is the case, Ji Zi surrendered the country three times, and it was passed on as a good talk, but it planted the root of disaster for the chaos of Young Master Guang!"

Deng Xi said in a heartbroken voice: "Your Majesty! The lesson of the Young Master Guang's Rebellion is still vivid in my mind, how can Your Majesty forget it?"
