Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

At this moment, at the gate of Wu Wang Palace, the cold wind was blowing, accompanied by little ice crystals falling down.

The guards guarding both sides of the palace road are still like umbrellas, with their heads held high and their chests upright, standing still, like two stone dragons in front of the palace gate.

Gao Zhang and Guo Xia, who were originally Shangqing of the Qi State, knelt on the cold floor, their lips turned blue from the cold, and they shivered.

I don't know how long it took, when the two of them were about to lose consciousness and their eyelids were so heavy that they were trembling, Jiao Hua, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, came to them slowly, and said slowly: "You two, my king I have important business and heavy government affairs, so it is not convenient to meet with you two, so please go back and wait for the summons."

Upon hearing this, Guo Xia and Gao Zhang became impatient.

Still waiting?
You know, they escaped from the dead and came to the state of Wu. They had already waited for half a month in the Chuanshe in Jinling. During this period, apart from meeting Kong Qiu, Yang Hu and other ministers, they didn't even see Qingji's face. Go!

Qingji was clearly avoiding them.

Guoxia hurriedly stuffed the horseshoe gold in the baggage into the rubber, and said in a low voice: "The CRRC government order, this is 500 taels of gold, please go in and report it, I will be very grateful to you, no Unforgettable teeth."

"After it's done, I'll have to thank you again."

Hearing this, he pushed the burden back without any trace, and said meaningfully: "Guo Shangqing, it's not that our family doesn't help you, it's just the king's order."

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty really doesn't want to meet you and meddle in Qi's internal affairs."

"If Your Majesty has made up his mind, it will be difficult for anyone to persuade you. Even if the two Shangqings cried to death at the gate of this palace like Shen Baoxu cried for Qin Ting in the past, I am afraid that Your Majesty may not be moved."

"This……"

Hearing this, Guoxia and Gao Zhang couldn't help but look at each other, seeing the bitterness on each other's faces.

Things have come to this, what should they do?

Guoxia thought for a while, then handed 500 taels of gold to his slippery hands, and sighed, "The CRRC government order, a little care is not a respect, so please accept it."

"King Wu, please ask the CRRC Mansion to give you some kind words."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Only then did Jiao Hua accept the 500 taels of gold from Guo Xia, and the smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

In fact, Jiao Hua is a money-grubbing person.

On weekdays, celebrating Ji can allow ministers to accept bribes from others.

However, Qingji must know exactly how much, the source and whereabouts of every bribe...

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.

Qingji has never been a monarch who treats his courtiers harshly, so he can tolerate them making a little extra money.

Like glue, no matter how well he speaks, it is impossible to change Qingji's decision.

"Decree of CRRC, we would like to meet Mrs. Zhenjiang, can you accommodate me?"

"Please wait."

As the so-called short-handed, cannibalism is soft.

Now that he has taken Guoxia's 500 taels of gold, Jiao Hua has to do things for them more or less.

No, Jiao Hua immediately sent a servant to report the news of Guo Xia and Gao Zhang's meeting to Madam Zhenjiang in the harem, and report it at the same time.

After all, it was a foreign minister who had an audience with a concubine, and if he was not careful, something might go wrong.

Zhenjiang is the youngest daughter of Qi Jinggong and a concubine of Qingji.

Although she was not as favored as Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, nor did she have the power of Queen Ji Kui, but Zhen Jiang was born with a stunning beauty, and she was also the princess of Qi State, so she was very favored by Qing Ji.

So far, Zhenjiang has given birth to two sons and one daughter for Qingji, so one can imagine how favored she is.

After Jiao slipped away, Guo Xia and Gao Zhang began to discuss in whispers again.

"Guozi, let Mrs. Zhenjiang lobby the King of Wu, will it really work?"

Gao Zhang frowned and asked.

"You can give it a try."

Guo Xia sighed and said: "I heard that although the King of Wu is a bit headstrong, he can still listen to advice. Especially this pillow style... King Wu is a womanizer, everyone knows it. Mrs. Zhenjiang is in the Wu Palace. It is also well-loved."

"If Mrs. Zhenjiang can come forward, maybe she can convince King Wu to help us."

Hearing this, Gao Zhang said with some doubts: "Guozi, Mrs. Zhenjiang may not know the affairs of Qi State."

"Yang Sheng and the monarch, one is Mrs. Zhenjiang's half-brother, and the other is Mrs. Zhenjiang's half-brother. There are differences in closeness. Mrs. Zhenjiang may stand on Yang Sheng's side."

Guo Xia shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. Gao Zi, you and I have met Mrs. Zhenjiang in the early years. She is virtuous and virtuous, and has insight. Why can't I think of the crisis that Qi is facing now?"

"Yang Sheng is just a puppet king supported by Tian Qi. He has no authority. I'm afraid he can't even protect his life. He will be in constant fear."

"At any rate, the monarch was chosen by the predecessors, and his name is justified. In terms of legality, Yang Sheng is not as good as the monarch."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the spirit of the former Jun Jinggong?"

"Exactly."

Gao Zhang nodded in conviction, and said again: "Guozi, I have a plan, maybe I can persuade the King of Wu to send troops to help our country of Qi get out of chaos. No matter how bad it is, it can protect us and the king well."

"The plan will come out?"

"Everyone knows that King Wu is lustful, especially curious. Although he doesn't like the new and dislike the old, he wishes he could bring all the beauties in the world into his harem."

Gao Zhang said with a smile: "Mrs. Rui Ji, she is extremely beautiful. Although she has already married a woman, her appearance is even worse. She is especially good at bedding."

"If the king of Wu gets close to Mrs. Rui Ji and accomplishes a good deed, the king is the fake son of the king of Wu. How can the king of Wu ignore the affairs of the state of Qi and our former king and old ministers?"

"This……"

For a moment, Guo Xia couldn't help being dumbfounded, pointing at Gao Zhang and said in surprise: "Gao Zi, isn't this absurd?"

"The first king's body is still cold, and Mrs. Rui Ji is also the most beloved concubine of the first king. Now that you and I have betrayed Mrs. Rui Ji like this, how can we be worthy of the great trust of the first king?"

"The former ruler entrusted us with the monarch, how can we forget the will of Tuogu?"

Hearing this, Gao Zhang stomped his feet, looked at Guo Xia angrily, and said, "Guo Zi Da Miao!"

"The Si people have passed away, so how can we talk about loyalty? You and I are still living under the umbrella of others. If we don't get the protection of the state of Wu, maybe one day, we will be killed by the assassins sent by Tianqi together with the monarch and Mrs. Rui Ji." .”

"Tian Qi is an ambitious man who is ruthless and vicious. Now you and I have been expelled from Qi State by him. The so-called status of Shangqing is worthless in Wu State and all the countries in the world."

"If the king of Wu can help us and help the monarch, even if it is an act of luring wolves into the house, it will be better than being usurped by that dog thief Tian Qi."

"If Tian's replacement of Qi becomes an established fact, you and I will not only be the sinners of Qi, but may also end up in poverty, and even be decapitated."

"If the King of Wu intends to help Qi, he intends to destroy Qi. You and I will be able to live in prosperity and wealth for a lifetime, and our descendants will be able to settle down in Wu, and even rise to the top."

"..."

Guoxia finally understood Gao Zhang's thoughts.

The Guo family and the Gao family are both minor clans and branches of the Jiang Qi family, so they have a lot of power in the Qi country and have always been heavily used by Qi Hou.

However, if they could not go back to Qi State for the rest of their lives, or if Tian Qi usurped Qi, they would really have no chance to stand up.
