Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 738 Strong is strong, weak is dead

Qingji hit Bo Tong at this moment, not on a whim.

It is undeniable that Bo Tong is a very capable person, and he is also good at flattering.

He is also loyal to Qing Ji.

Such a person makes Qingji very handy to use.

However, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect.

Bo Tong's biggest flaw is greed!

Extreme greed!
Bo Tong is the same as He Shen in the Qing Dynasty, but Qing Ji may not be Qianlong.

In the current state of Wu, hegemony has already been achieved. Could it be that Qingji will relax because of this, and just blindly pursue to stabilize his hegemony?

Do not!
no way!

Sitting on the Majesty's altar, Qingji looked around and looked at Bo Tong, Fan Li, Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, Wen Zhong and Zeng Dian below, and said meaningfully: "Second and third sons, I have been on the throne since the beginning of my reign. Make a big wish, and swear that in this life, I will build my country of Wu into the most powerful country in the world that is proud of China's Kyushu!"

"Now, with the disintegration of the state of Jin, the widow gathered the princes in Chengzhou, and the emperor gave the uncle. This great wish of the widow seems to have been fulfilled."

"The widow has become the overlord alongside Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu. However, the achievements of the widow, the achievements of the state of Wu, are limited to this?"

"No!"

Qing Ji waved his hand, and said loudly: "In this world of great struggle, there are countries in the world, the strong will be strong, and the weak will perish!"

"The current hegemony of my country of Wu is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat!"

"Therefore, the widow, the second and third sons, and all the ministers and people of the Wu Kingdom still need to be self-denying and diligent, and spare no effort to make our Wu Kingdom the only big country in the world!"

"Multiple territory, make a big country without borders. This is my current ambition."

Hearing this, Fan Li, Kong Qiu and other high officials present could not help but shrink their pupils suddenly, greatly shocked.

It turns out that Qingji's ambition is so big?

It's only natural!
Qing Ji is not the Yue King Goujian in history, who just won the hegemony, gathered the princes, and did the thing of "the cunning rabbit died, the lackey cooked", executed Wen Zhong, and made Fan Li retreat bravely.

He can share adversity with his ministers, and he can also share wealth with them!

When Qingji became the King of Wu, his original ambition was really just to let the Wu Kingdom dominate the world and achieve his own hegemony.

However, now that Wu's hegemony has been achieved, how can Qingji not pursue the great cause of destroying all nations and unifying the world?

Even if he can't do it, his children and grandchildren will definitely be able to do it!

"Sir, I am willing to do my best for the king!"

All the ministers replied in unison.

At this moment, they finally understood why Qingji wanted to beat Bo Tong.

……

The time has entered the 20th year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 494 BC, the beginning of March in the lunar calendar.

Qingji started his first tour after taking over the hegemony. At the same time, he went to Xutian to lead the alliance of princes this time.

There are [-] vassal states participating in this alliance of eliminating soldiers, namely: Wu, Han, Zhao, Wei, Fan, Zhi, Bank of China, Zheng, Song, Chen, Wei, Cao, Dun, and Xu.

This time, Xu Tian's meeting belongs to the alliance of eliminating soldiers.

But all those present were princes, the kings of a country!
At this time, on a huge wilderness in Xutian, there was a cool breeze and the river sparkled.

The soldiers in strong and sharp clothes stood there early, waiting for the review of their respective monarchs.

Banners of various colors flutter in the wind.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the crimson banner of Wu Kingdom.

On the Sifang Terrace, monarchs including Qingji, Zhao Yang, Han Buxin, Ziluan and others were already sitting there.

As the overlord of the princes, Qingji sat on the throne.

This Xu Tian was originally the territory of Zheng Guo, but Wu Guo was so strong that Zheng Bo and Ji Sheng also had to bow their heads and let Xu Tian be the place for the alliance...

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. A fair lady, a gentleman likes a good man. There are various waterweeds, pick them left and right..."

The charming singer hums beautiful poems, and the dancer dances in harmony with the tune.

The musicians performed beautiful music with various instruments such as qin, se, chime bells and Yu.

This kind of sound of silk and bamboo made some princes and officials present shake their heads and listen with gusto.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, it's time to discuss business.

"Second and third..."

As Fang Bo, Qingji spoke first. After looking around for a week, he pointed to a large bronze tripod in the distance with great interest.

The cauldron was full of hot oil, which was bubbling, making a "sizzling" sound, and green smoke curled up.

Everyone didn't know the function of this great cauldron, but they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Qingji smiled and said, "Have you seen this tripod? Since ancient times, the bells have been used to cook food, and the ax and ax have been used to cook soup. Therefore, this tripod is not only used to cook sheep and dogs, but also to cook people!"

"The widow is not a cruel and tyrannical person. However, the emperor sent the uncle to let the widow perform the king's affairs on his behalf. How can the widow desecrate the power granted by the emperor?"

"What we are discussing today is nothing more than the disputes among the countries in the Central Plains."

"The widows should follow the good and make decisions for you. If there are those who do not obey the public, the will of heaven, and the will of the people, they should be boiled and tortured, and this is a common killing of heaven and man!"

"The widow is no exception!"

"If the widow is unfair, the second and third sons can make the widow join this cauldron!"

"If the widow is fair, and those who refuse to accept it, they should also devote themselves to this cauldron!"

"Does the second and third sons have any objections to this?"

"This……"

For Qingji's approach, all the princes present were dumbfounded and shocked.

Qingji, isn't this a joke?
Cooking is a horrible punishment.

As the saying goes, killing is nothing more than head-to-head. Compared with beheading, cooking torture is very cruel. The victim will suffer great pain and eventually die of torture.

Now that Qingji has such a claim, isn't he trying to scare people?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Qingji's use of such an extreme method.

This time the melee in the Central Plains was too complicated, with constant cutting and chaos.

And Wu Guoshi had just established its own hegemony, and Qingji, the overlord, was not really highly respected, so to use peaceful means to resolve disputes among princes, Qingji couldn't take the usual path.

Besides, Qingji didn't bother to argue with the princes.

He wants to use this to establish his absolute dominance!
"Your respect!"

The princes all seemed to be sincerely convinced, and they seemed to have no objection.

Because they didn't dare to gamble whether Qingji would throw the princes into a cauldron to cook and kill them if they disagreed with each other...

Qing Ji's actions indeed had a certain deterrent effect on them.

But in this alliance of eliminating soldiers, Qing Ji played the role of mediator, so naturally he wanted to show his prestige.

"Song Jun."

Qingji put his eyes on Ziluan, and said with a pleasant face, "We, Wu and Song, are countries of marriage, and we can communicate with each other, and you and I are more like son-in-law."

"Accordingly, the widow should be towards you, towards the state of Song. However, the widow is now the uncle of the emperor, and he has been ordered by the emperor, and he will never dare to abolish the public for personal reasons..."
