Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 848: 20 people who control strings

quiet!
On the square outside the huge Chongzheng Hall, there was a deathly silence.

Gone?

That's it?

Including the officials of the state of Wu, as well as the envoys of various countries, everyone couldn't help being in an uproar.

"Bold!"

At this time, Uncle Cheng of Yushi Zhongcheng stood up, and after bowing to Qingji, he said indignantly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yiqu is crazy! You are rude to the King, and you are rude to me, Great Wu!"

"Your Majesty, please send someone to question Mr. Yiqu!"

As soon as Bo Tong's words fell, the officials of the Wu Kingdom who were present immediately seconded the proposal, and asked Qingji to question Mr. Yiqu.

"It's downright rude!"

"The Rong Kingdom of Yiqu is the most powerful country in Xirong after all. Even Mr. Wuzhi can offer thousands of cattle, sheep, horses and furs to the king, but Mr. Yiqu only sent a A Hu suit, it's a big treason!"

"This is clearly provoking the king, provoking my great Wu! Please punish Lord Yiqu!"

Mr. Yiqu's actions obviously made Wu's officials very dissatisfied.

As the saying goes, the master humiliates his ministers to death.

How could they tolerate Lord Yiqu humiliating their king like this?

Regarding this, Qingji was extraordinarily calm. After looking around for a week, he asked, "Where is the envoy of Yiqu Kingdom?"

"Shuchi, the envoy of the Yiqu Kingdom, see the King of Wu!"

A middle-aged man with two braids and a bright forehead stood up tremblingly.

This man named "Shuchi" was originally a famous warrior in Yiqu Kingdom, known for his boldness. However, when he saw Qingji and Wu Kingdom's tiger and wolf masters, he was scared out of his wits. I regret taking this mission.

If this is a little careless, Jochi may die in Xianyang, and he will die a miserable death.

Seeing such a trembling Zhuchi, Qingji just smiled faintly, and said, "Shuchi, where is the Hu suit sent by Mr. Yiqu?"

"Since only one Hu suit was given as a congratulatory gift, then the Hu suit should be a rare treasure, extremely gorgeous and precious."

Shuchi didn't dare to answer, but just beckoned, let the accompanying deputy envoy come forward, opened a bag, and then took out a piece of ordinary clothes...

The so-called "Hufu" is the general name of the Chinese people for the clothes worn by Hu people of various ethnic groups in the west and north. It is quite different from the Chinese clothes with wide belts in the Central Plains.

The lapels, double breasts, and narrow sleeves are all quite tight.

Jochi and the deputy envoy had already knelt down on the floor tremblingly, lowered their heads, and waited for Qingji's thunderous fury.

Since they dared to take Yiqumo's order, came to Xianyang, and presented Qingji with this Hu suit, they were determined to die.

"This……"

After seeing the Hu suit, all the officials of Wu Guoqun present could not help but change color.

"Bastard!"

Bo Tong, who had reacted, was furious immediately, and pointed at Shu Equator: "How dare you take out Hu Fu made of such coarse cloth to make a fool of yourself?"

"The country of Ruyiqu is so impoverished? It's clearly provoking my king, provoking Great Wu!"

"It just doesn't know how to live or die!"

"Your Majesty, please drag this fellow out of the car, and kill all the envoys and followers of the Yiqu Kingdom!"

The rest of the officials, Duke Wu, were all yelling at Shuchi, blowing their beards and staring in anger.

Even the more elegant ministers such as Ji Ran, Kong Qiu and Wen Zhong couldn't help glaring at Shu Chi.

Qing Ji, on the other hand, still looked calm and relaxed, looking at the shivering Shu Chi, he waved his hand, signaling to the officials to be calm.

"Jochi, I have accepted this Hu suit sent by Mr. Yiqu. After you go back, please convey my thanks to Mr. Yiqu."

"..."

Shu Chi was stunned.

Everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded, and stood there dumbfounded, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears.

Is this still the Wu Wang Qingji who has always been strong, fierce and domineering?

According to Qingji's temper in the past, he may have ordered the guards to drag Shuchi and other people from the Yiqu Kingdom to chop them up, or even cut them into pieces.

But, why can Qingji deal with it so indifferently?

"Thank you King Wu! My minister will definitely convey it, definitely convey it."

Shuchi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and agreed wholeheartedly.

This feeling of escaping from a tiger's mouth can only be understood by Shu Chi and others at this time.

"Your Majesty..."

Bo Tong also wanted to persuade Qingji to kill Shuchi and his party to vent his anger, but Qingji interrupted the conversation.

"Gifts don't depend on the severity."

Qing Ji smiled and said, "Gifts are less important than affection. Since Mr. Yiqu has his heart, how can I care that the gift is just a piece of clothing?"

"King Rende!"

All the ministers shouted like a tsunami.

……

Night falls.

At this time, in the Zide Hall of Xianyang Palace, Qingji was alone receiving the envoy Mi Shang from Wuzhi Kingdom.

Mi Shang is the eldest son of Mr. Wuzhi, and he is much loved by Mr. Wuzhi. He is basically sure to be the future heir of the Wuzhi Kingdom.

This time, the Wuzhi Kingdom sent Mi Shang to Xianyang as an envoy to pay homage to celebrate Ji. It is conceivable that Mr. Wushi really intends to draw closer to the Wu Kingdom.

Among the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, only the Yiqu Kingdom, which is the most powerful, is still at odds with the Wu Kingdom.

The remaining seven Xirong countries have all become vassal states of Wu State, not like Yiqu State, but only superficially surrendered to the overlord Wu State.

The Wuzhi Kingdom is a branch of the Dog Rong, so why is the public family named "Mi"?

Speaking of which, there is a long history between Wuzhi Kingdom and Chu Kingdom.

They are probably all the descendants of Ji Lian, the descendant of the Lu family of the Zhu Rong clan.

Lu Zhongsheng had six sons, one was Kunwu, the other was Canhu, the third was Pengzu, the fourth was Huiren, the fifth was Cao, the sixth was Jilian, Mi, and the queen of Chu...

Ji Liansheng is attached to Ju, and Fuju gives birth to Cave Bear.After that, Zhongwei, either in China, or in the barbarians.

During the Xia Dynasty, Zhu Rong was a vassal of the Xia Hou Clan, Fangguo.

In the Shang Dynasty, there were "Hua" in the east and "Xia" in the west, and Mi Chu belonged to the western group, that is, the Xia.

After Lu Zhong, Ji Lian's mother came from the Western Qiang tribe, named Nvyan, and her mother's surname was "Mi".

The Mi surname thus became a new surname produced by the marriage of the Qiang nobles with the Ji surname in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Wuzhi nobles.

Due to the long history, no one is sure whether the Wuzhi people are the descendants of Lu Zhong.

However, what is certain is that the Wuzhi people can be counted as a branch of Zhuxia, after all, the same blood flows from their bodies.

At this moment, Mi Shang accused Qingji of various crimes of the Yiqu people.

"King Wu, Yiqumo has a wolfish ambition. Over the years, taking advantage of the restoration of Wu's national power and improving people's livelihood, he has repeatedly sent troops to harass our Wuzhi country."

"Not only the Wuzhi Kingdom, but also the rest of the Rong Kingdoms like Mianzhu, Jirong, and Zhai have also been invaded to varying degrees by the Yiqu people!"

Mi Shang sighed and said, "Yiqu people are burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil in our territory."

"They robbed the cattle, sheep and horses of our Wuzhi country, as well as women and children, and slaughtered the old people like livestock. Even the men were captured and used as slaves!"

"In the past few years, the power of the Yiqu country has expanded greatly. It is said that there are 20 people who control strings, and its territory is nearly a thousand miles away."

"With the strength of Yiqu people these years, and now at the ceremony of moving the capital to you, King Wu, you openly gave a Hu suit. Aren't you provoking King Wu and the country of Wu?"

"Please ask King Wu to send troops to subjugate the Yiqu country, our Wuzhi country, and the rest of the Rong countries. We must send troops to help, and put an end to the arrogance of the Yiqu people!"
