Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 857
"Ruyi Qu Country should have no shortage of beauties."

Qingji said meaningfully, "Since Mr. Yiqu intends to marry us in Wu Kingdom."

"The widow doesn't want the daughter of Mr. Yiqu to marry to Wu, but also asks Mr. Yiqu to choose the most beautiful woman in the country to marry the widow."

This is really a steal!

Shuchi secretly smiled wryly, and could only agree.

Marriage?

For Qingji, this is absolutely impossible.

Men should marry, women should marry.

But Qing Ji absolutely cannot tolerate, using a woman, especially his own daughter, in exchange for the peace of the country.

What is the use of such peace?

Is it just for the momentary lingering?
Furthermore, Wu Guo has not reached that point yet!
"King Wu, there is one more thing."

Shu Chi lowered his head and said.

"What's the matter?"

"In recent years, the Xirong kingdoms, and even the Qiang tribe in the southwestern part of Wu Kingdom, have not been peaceful."

"There are quite a few people with ulterior motives. In order to maintain the peace of Wu's frontiers, please ask the King of Wu to confer the title of 'Xibo' on our country, to lead the Xirong kingdoms, and to kill them arbitrarily!"

Upon hearing this, before Qingji could speak, the ministers objected fiercely.

This Yiqu person really pushes his limits!

The marriage failed, and he dared to ask Qingji to canonize Yiqumo as "Xibo"?
Yi Qumo is really ambitious!
Qingji pressed his hand, signaling to all the officials to be calm, then looked at Shuchi with a smile, and asked, "Does Lord Yiqu want to be King Ji of Zhou?"

"Don't dare."

Jochi was so frightened that he trembled.

This "Zhou Wang Ji" is not something ordinary people can do.

Zhou Wangji is the Ji calendar, and the season is the ranking, so it is called the Ji calendar.

He is the youngest son of King Tai of Zhou, the father of King Wen of Zhou, and the grandfather of King Wu of Zhou and Duke Dan of Zhou.

After Ji Li took over the throne, he learned from the legacy of the ancient father Dan Fu, devoted himself to righteousness, led the tribe to build water conservancy, developed agricultural production, trained the army, and intermarried with the Shang noble Ren's family, actively absorbed the culture of the Shang Dynasty, and strengthened political ties.

With the support of the Shang Dynasty, he waged war against the surrounding Rongdi tribes and continuously improved his military strength.

During the reign of King Wending of the Shang Dynasty, Ji Li was granted the title of "priest" and became the head of the Western princes.

Later, because of his weight, he was tabooed and died of a hunger strike under house arrest by Wen Ding.

Now, Yiqumo wants Qingji to canonize himself as "Xibo", doesn't he just want to become Ji Li?

"Since Mr. Yiqu wants to be the Xibo and maintain the peace of the western border of the Wu Kingdom for the widow, why don't the widow do it?"

Qingji said slowly, "Ji Ran."

"Chen is here!"

"Immediately draw up an edict for the widow, and canonize Lord Yiqu as the Xibo of our Wu Kingdom. From then on, you can lead the Xirong kingdoms and kill them arbitrarily."

"Your Majesty..."

Dazai Ji was hesitant to speak, and wanted to dissuade Qingji, but Qingji glanced at him and finally agreed.

"Thank you King Wu!"

Shuchi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly thanked Qingji.

Although, he failed to make Qingji marry a daughter to Yiqu country.

However, Qingji was able to canonize Yiqumo as Xibo and recognize his leadership position among the Xirong kingdoms. This is really a surprise!

……

Night falls.

In a palace near Taiye Pool, there is still a brightly lit scene.

Ji Ran, who had already drafted an edict, came to see Qing Ji with the edict.

He came to this palace with him, and there were the censor Fan Li, the censor Zhong Cheng Bo Tong, the great Sima Wu Zixu, Wu An Jun Sun Wu, the left prime minister Wen Zhong, the right prime minister Kong Qiu, the great line Ling Yanghu, the left Sima Tian Rangju, As well as Gong Zihong and Gong Zizhang.

This is already equivalent to a small court meeting.

The ministers present here are all ministers in the court, and they hold a great weight in the state of Wu.

"Father, my son doesn't understand."

Young Master Zhang frowned and said, "Why did the father designate Yiqumo as Xibo?"

"As the leader of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong, Yiqumo has already been able to lead the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong in name. Don't you fear that the rise of Yiqu people will be detrimental to our Wu Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Wu Zhang, the people of Yiqu are already harming our country of Wu."

"This... If that's the case, why does the father encourage the power of the Yiqu people?"

Before Qingji could speak, Fan Li, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile, "Young Master Zhang, I guess the king did it on purpose."

"The king is not Wen Ding, and Yi Qumo will not be Ji Li."

"Everything can be one or two, but again and again, Yiqu people sent a Hu suit as a congratulatory gift to the king, which in itself is testing the king's bottom line."

"Now Yiqumo has sent Shuchi over again, intending to marry me in the state of Wu and claim the title of Xibo."

"This is all to test the king and spy on my country of Wu."

Hearing this, Young Master Zhang snorted and said, "It's just a small country of Yiqu, how dare you spy on our territory of Wu?"

"Father, you shouldn't be used to Yiqu people."

Qingji shook his head and said, "I will not only indulge the Yiqu people, but also further indulge the Yiqu people."

"This……"

"To destroy it, you must first make it mad."

Qing Ji smiled lightly and said, "Wu Zhang, you are still young, and you still have a lot to learn."

"promise."

Young Master Zhang hurriedly bowed and said: "My son has been educated."

In fact, Fan Li, Ji Ran, Sun Wu and others, as the wise men of the time, have been able to guess Qing Ji's thoughts.

The strength of Wu State, coupled with Qingji's relocation of the capital to Xianyang, will inevitably strengthen Wu State's border defense forces in the west.

The first to bear the brunt is naturally the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong.

Although, the eight countries of Xirong are all vassal states of Wu.

However, who can guarantee that the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong will not rebel one day?
Yiqumo's wolfish ambitions are already clearly revealed.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time, a third time... Countless times!

What the Yiqu people did was to test Qingji's bottom line again and again, provoking Wu's authority.

Can Qingji get used to him?

can!
But you won't be used to Yiqu people forever.

"I don't know what step my father will let Yiqu people do?"

Young Master Hong asked curiously.

"The people of Yiqu can annex the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong."

"what?"

As soon as Qingji's words fell, all the officials could not help but change their colors.

Ji Ran said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if the Yiqu people really annexed the Eight Western Rong Kingdoms, they might become a great enemy of our Wu Kingdom and threaten the peace of the western border of the Wu Kingdom."

"Ji Ran, do you know Yiqumo?"

"I don't understand."

"The widow knows a thing or two."

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and said, "This man is not lacking in scheming and courage, but like all the monarchs of the Xirong Kingdom, he is superstitious in force and doesn't know how to be tolerant."

"So Yiqumo, Yiqu people are destined to be unpopular and will not last long."

"If he dares to gobble up the Xirong kingdoms, the Yiqu kingdom will fall into the abyss without the need for our Wu kingdom to fight every now and then. This is the way for the Yiqu people to bring about their own destruction."

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

All the ministers followed in admiration.
