Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 633 Whoever has flesh and blood has a heart to contend with
On the west side of Jinling City, in the residence of Prince Wu Hong.

At this time, in the study room, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as day.

Gongzihong sat at the main seat, and sitting on one side was Gongzihong's benefactor, Kong Qiu, the right prime minister of the state of Wu.

On the seats on both sides, the people sitting upright are all dignitaries.

However, there are not many people.

There are Gong Zixi, Zhi Su Nei Shi Zeng Dian, Shao Fu Bei Li, Tai Pu Shen Xi, Shang Da Fu Hu Yong, and Qing Ji's two uncles, Zhu Yong and Jian Yu who are in Jiuqing.

This can be described as a full house.

The position of Jiuqing occupies five of them, one of which is specially appointed as Jiuqing, and the other two are the sons of King Wu.

Eight people sat together to discuss major issues.

What is it?

Naturally, it was to help Young Master Hong seize the heir...

At this time, Kong Qiu frowned and said, "My lord, the king wants to establish a heir, but among all the lords, only you and Mr. Heng are candidates."

"Mr. Heng is a man, just like a great king. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will definitely use military force to make great achievements, and he will waste his livelihood."

"Whether it's for yourself, Mrs. Rumeng, or for us, or for the people of Wu, don't feel sorry for yourself!"

Hearing this, Wu Hong let out a long sigh and said, "Sir, Hong knows what you said."

"Of course, the position of king of Wu is not what Hong wanted."

"If Brother Heng can inherit the will of his father and defend the land and expand the border, why can't I assist him to achieve an unprecedented and unprecedented feat?"

Hearing this, Kong Qiu said angrily, "Young Master Hong, why don't you understand?"

"Now is a time of great conflict, countries are fighting, and people are also fighting!"

"If you don't fight, young master, will you be able to live in peace in the future?"

"It should be noted that with Mr. Heng as a person, after realizing the threat that Mr. Ni poses to him, he will never be merciless!"

"..."

Young Master Hong kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

At this time, Young Master Xi who was sitting at the bottom said slowly: "Brother, what you said is very true."

"The dispute between the concubine and the concubine in my country of Wu is no longer a one-shot fight, but a simple dispute between brothers and the throne."

"Isn't the rebellion of the five princes in Duke Huan's later years a bloody example?"

"How can elder brother cherish his feathers and his own reputation so much, and then disregard the righteousness of the family and the country?"

"I……"

Gong Zihong was really helpless in his heart.

He was not very interested in the throne itself, and ministers like Confucius, Shen Xi, and Zhu Yong insisted on pushing him to the throne.

However, what Gong Zixi said is not without reason.

The internal friction caused by the "Five Princes Rebellion" in Qi State back then is incalculable.

In the later years of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya, Shu Diao and Qi Fang were in chaos, and together with the five sons of the Qi family, the chaos lasted for 40 years.

In the so-called rebellion of the five sons, there were actually six sons of Qi, one of whom was the legally inherited heir, and the remaining five were illegal contenders for the throne.

The six princes are Prince Wukui, Prince Yong, Duke Xiao of Qi Lu Zhao, Duke Zhao of Qi Lv Pan, Duke Yi of Qi Lu Merchant, and Duke Hui of Qi Lu Yuan.

When Duke Huan of Qi was in power, he once made his son Zhao the crown prince.

But after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya and Shu Diao indiscriminately killed all the officials, and supported Prince Zhao's older brother, Prince Wugui, to the throne.

But the son Wukui was actually born as a concubine, so he couldn't lead the Qi country at all.

Prince Zhao, who had fled, went to Song State and invited Song Xianggong, who might become the second overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, to help...

As a result, the Li Shu of the Qi State hated Yi Ya and made a mess of the government, which made the people of the Qi State feel miserable.

As soon as he heard that Song Guo had brought an army to attack, he cooperated with the inside and outside, killed Shu Diao, and strangled the son without loss.

Young Master Wu Kui has only been on the throne for three months, and he has no posthumous title after his death.

With the help of Song Xianggong, son Zhao successfully succeeded to the throne and became Qi Xiaogong.

After that, the remaining princes of Qi State successively killed the prince and succeeded to the throne.But one of the sons, Yong, was a man who failed to ascend to the throne from the beginning to the end.

After Qi State experienced the rebellion of the Five Young Masters, its national power was not as good as before...

Let me ask, how could Wu Guo not learn from such a painful lesson?
"Brother!"

Seeing Young Master Hong who was still hesitant, Young Master Xi couldn't help standing up, stomping his feet, and said indignantly: "Don't you hear that everyone with flesh and blood is contentious, so profit cannot be overpowering, and thinking about righteousness will heal?"

"Brother, if you don't fight! Are you going to let Wu Heng succeed?"

"In terms of knowledge, in terms of virtue, in terms of ability, is Wu Heng comparable to his elder brother?"

"Furthermore, Wu Heng is a human being, arrogant and conceited, and has never been friendly to brothers. If he succeeds to the great position in the future, brothers like me, not to mention whether we will be killed or not, may not have a bright future!"

"Father chooses a good teacher and gives us brothers to preach and learn from karma, isn't it just that we expect us to contribute to the prosperity of the Wu Kingdom?"

"Could it be that brother wants to live up to his father's high expectations?"

Upon hearing this, how could Young Master Hong agree?

Filial piety is like a son, and he will never dare to forget Qingji's honest teachings.

However, Gong Zihong still took a deep look at Gong Zixi.

This guy looks like he hates iron for being weak, what kind of wishful thinking is in his heart, how could Young Master Hong not understand?

"Brother Xi, in fact, if you want to become the crown prince, elder brother may not be unable to help you."

When Gong Zixi heard this, he just smiled embarrassingly: "Brother was joking."

"Xi's talent is poor, and his virtue is not as good as that of his elder brother. I only hope that after my elder brother becomes the crown prince as he wished, he will not forget to support Xi..."

Young Master Hong immediately waved his hand and said, "Fight, how do I fight?"

Seeing that Young Master Hong had finally awakened and was about to compete for the crown prince, Kong Qiu, Zeng Dian, Shen Xi and the others couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

In case Young Master Hong's mud can't support the wall, and he doesn't plan to become the prince of Wu, they will be the most uncomfortable.

"Based on the popularity of the young master in the Wu Kingdom, it is not difficult to win the position of the crown prince."

Confucius said meaningfully: "The only difficulty lies in the distinction between the son and the concubine."

"This is the only thing that Young Master Heng can do, and it is also beyond the reach of Young Master."

"Therefore, the son can start with the queen. If the queen can be out of favor and lose her position, then the son's biological mother, Mrs. Meng, will definitely follow the trend."

"At that time, the young master can follow Fuzheng and become the eldest son of the king..."

"inappropriate."

Young Master Hong waved his hand, and resolutely refused: "The Queen is virtuous and virtuous. People in the country call her a virtuous person. Hong has been cared for by the Queen since he was a child. How can he hurt the Queen?"

"..."

pedantic!

How could Gong Zihong be so kind?

Kong Qiu was very frustrated, and couldn't help sighing: "My lord, since ancient times, the struggle between the son and the concubine has never been a small-scale struggle."

"A child is more valuable than a mother, and a mother is more valuable than a son. Why doesn't the son understand?"

"This is a fight to the death!"

"If the young master loses, he will have nothing! Mrs. Meng? I am afraid that after the young master Heng succeeds to the throne, he will be demoted, imprisoned, or even die of a sudden sudden illness after the young master Heng succeeds to the throne!"
