Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 741 Marriage between Wu and Zhao Kingdoms

Throughout the ages, everyone has their own bottom line in their hearts.

The bottom line of the princes is nothing more than "killing the king and usurping the throne".

The princes hated people like Helu and Zhouxu who dared to kill the king and usurp the throne.

Because no one can guarantee that this kind of thing will happen to him.

However, Zhao Yang's situation is also somewhat special.

Because he was originally the patriarch of the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom, and after the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom fell apart and was divided into six, Zhao Yang should be among the princes and become the king of a country.

However, He Qing was afraid of Zhao Yang's ability, so he replaced Zhao's Dazong with Handan, the Xiaozong of the Zhao family, and supported Handanji as Zhao Jun. This has always been criticized by people.

"I don't know why Marquis Wu showed mercy to the widowed monarch at that time?"

Zhao Yang asked rather puzzled.

Hearing this, Qingji just laughed without saying a word.

He was naturally murderous towards Zhao Yang.

But in front of so many princes, cooking and killing Zhao Yang in a large crowd, how could Qingji not know what kind of bad influence it would cause afterwards?
As the king of Wu and the overlord of the world, if Qingji showed such a cruel and inhumane side, wouldn't it make everyone in the princes feel in danger?

He cannot disregard the interests of the country for the sake of his own quickness.

Now that the matter has come to this point, even if Qingji kills Zhao Yang, it will only increase troubles, and it will not do any good for Wu Guo.

After being silent for a long time, Qingji finally said slowly: "Zhao Yang, you are indeed qualified to be your opponent, even your old enemy."

"Of course, the power of the country is always strong, and the power of the country is always weak. I firmly believe that no matter how powerful you are, Zhao Yang, how can you fight against me with the power of Zhao Guo?"

"Don't say it is a Zhao country, even if the Six Jins are tied together, I will not be afraid."

"If you die right now, wouldn't it be a little less fun for the rest of my life?"

When Qing Ji said such a thing, it was naturally a scene.

Because Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Bank of China cannot form an alliance, at least not now.

If there is a chance, Qing Ji would of course want to get rid of Zhao Yang, his confidant.

Zhao Yang also knew this truth, so he smiled slightly and said: "What Marquis Wu said is wrong. The national power is always strong, and the national power is always weak. How can the national power be constant strong and weak?"

"It's as strong as the state of Chu, isn't it also annexed by the state of Ru Wu, and it will be wiped out by everyone?"

"It seems that the overlord Jin State has dominated for more than a hundred years since Duke Wen of Jin. It seems that no one can shake the hegemony. Now it also collapsed like a cloud?"

"In the past, Wu State was just a small country in the southeast that lived in a corner. Even when you came to the throne, Marquis Wu, it was still weak and was bullied by the Chu people. It was almost in danger of being destroyed."

After a pause, Zhao Yang changed the subject again, and said, "However, it has only been 20 years so far. Under your rule, Marquis Wu, Wu Guo has become stronger, with sharp weapons and a full treasury. It can be said that the country is rich and the people are strong."

"In the past 20 years, the state of Wu conquered Yue, conquered Chu, dominated the south, and even dominated the world. Marquis Wu, you have established a hegemony that is comparable to Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu!"

"If Marquis Wu can do it, I, Zhao Yang, may not be able to do it. Besides, the state of Zhao today is not inferior to the state of Wu back then."

"..."

Qingji took a deep look at Zhao Yang, but didn't speak.

However, Zhao Yang could already tell what Qingji wanted to say from Qingji's meaningful eyes.

Qingji can acquiesce in the fact that Zhao Yang killed the king and usurped the throne without punishing him.

However, Zhao Yang had to come up with some conditions to win Yu Qingji's trust.

"Marquis Wu, I am willing to be like Han, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing, and pay tribute to Wu. Within ten years, no... In the lifetime of the widow, if no teacher from another country invades our borders, Zhao The country is bound to be stable, and we dare not fight wars at will.”

"From now on, the State of Zhao will be a vassal of the State of Wu, and only Marquis Wu will follow!"

For Zhao Yang's promise, Qingji naturally didn't believe it.

In a short period of time, maybe three to five years, Zhao Guo and the rest of the Five Jins will enter a period of hiding their strengths and biding their time, which is inevitable.

However, Zhao Yang did not engage in foreign expansion wars in his life?
How could Qingji believe this?
"not enough."

Qingji simply said two words.

Zhao Yang said again: "I, Zhao Guo, should marry Wu Guo. Marquis Wu, my widow has a daughter who is about [-] years old, Zhao Jiying, who is extremely beautiful, and can be married to Wu Guogong."

Zhao Jiying?
Qingji was stunned for a moment.

The order of ranking is often added before the ancient characters. The elder brother of the father is called "uncle", the younger brother of the father is called "second father", the younger brother of the second father is called "uncle", and the youngest uncle is called "Ji father". uncle".

Uncle, Zhong, Uncle, and Ji are the order that people of this era use to rank brothers.

For example, Confucius was ranked second, so he was called "Zhongni"; Sun Quan was the second son of Sun Jian, so the word was "Zhongmou".

If there are more than four brothers and sisters, then from the third to the penultimate, they are likely to be called "uncle".

For example, King Wen of Zhou had nineteen sons, Duke Zhou was the fourth, also known as "Shu Dan".

Of course, the eldest in the family can be called "Bo" or "Meng", such as Qingji's concubine Meng Ying.

So the "Zhao Jiying" Zhao Yang mentioned should be his fourth daughter.

This is not the most important thing, because Qingji realizes that this Zhao Jiying is very likely to be Mrs. Moji from the historical and parental kingdom...

"I don't know which son Zhao Jun plans to betroth his daughter to the widow?"

Qing Ji asked with great interest.

"Marquis Wu, if Zhao Jiying, the widow's daughter, is lucky, can she become the Crown Princess of Wu?"

"..."

Zhao Yang wanted his daughter to be the Crown Princess of Wu, the future Empress Wu?

It is worth mentioning that Qingji has many sons and daughters now, but there are very few sons who are truly suitable for marriage.

Hearing Zhao Yang's question, Qingji thought for a while, and then said with a faint smile: "Mr. Zhao, regarding the marriage between Wu and Zhao, on the widow's side, only Wu is the son of the right age and the one who is weak. Hong, Wu Xi and Wu Fan."

"As for Wu Heng, he is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and he will be crowned in another one or two years."

"So, isn't it delaying the beauty?"

It seemed that Qingji was unwilling to let Zhao Yang's daughter become the crown princess of Wu.

Qingji had many sons, and any older son could marry Zhao Jiying and achieve the marriage between Wu and Zhao.

Even if Zhao Jiying is to be Prince Heng's side concubine (beautiful person), Qingji can agree.

However, Qingji still needs to carefully consider the position of the crown princess.

"Marquis Wu was joking."

Zhao Yang said with a smile on his face: "Good wine and good food are not afraid of being late. It is an honor for Ji Ying to wait for a year or two before she can become the Crown Princess of Wu State. !"
