Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 870 Blood Stained Nine Cauldrons

This is not the first time Qingji pays homage to Jiuding.

Jiuding, representing "the world", is an artifact, and it is never easily shown to others.

Back then when Qingji and Jin Dinggong met in Luoyi for an alliance, they went to Chengzhou to pay their respects to the Nine Tripods and ask for their importance.

At that time, the Wu Kingdom had just risen, and it did not dare to compete with the old overlord Jin.

However, today is different from the past.

The state of Jin has collapsed, and the state of Wu has already jumped up and become a superpower.

"Son of Heaven, I want to move Jiuding to Xianyang, I wonder if you can bear the pain and give up your love?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers of the royal family of Zhou, including Zhou Tianzi Ji Gai, could not help but change color.

If it wasn't for Gu Qingji being in front of him, there were still many wolf-like generals of the Wu army and Wu's army stationed outside, they might have jumped angrily, pointing at Qingji's nose and yelling at him.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Gai smiled shyly and said, "Marquis Wu, in the past, Yu collected Jiu Mu's gold and cast Jiu Ding, all of which tasted like God and ghosts."

"Because of the sage, it prospered, and the tripod was moved to Xia and Shang. King Wu defeated Zhou and established himself on behalf of Shang. Although Zhou's morality is declining today, the destiny is still in the Zhou family."

"Wu Hou moved Jiuding without authorization, I'm afraid it will cause anger and resentment, please think again, Wu Hou!"

When Ji Gai talked to Qingji, his posture was very humble.

As early as the Shang Dynasty, there were strict regulations on the tripods that indicated the status of the royal family and nobles: scholars used one tripod or three tripods, doctors used five tripods, princes used seven tripods, and emperors could use nine tripods to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth. It is time to carry out the great gift of Jiuding.

Therefore, "Ding" has naturally become a symbol of the country's political power, and then a national treasure.

Qingji wants to replace the Zhou family and set the world, and asking for Jiuding is just a means.

"Jiuding, the Xiahou family lost it, and the Yin people received it; the Yin people lost it, and the Zhou people received it. The Xiahou, Yin, and Zhou received it."

Qingji said with a faint smile: "Son of Heaven, do you know that the destiny lies in virtue or not in the cauldron?"

"The state of Wu and the House of Zhou have the same clan and origin, and they originated from the Great Plains in the west."

"A widow wants to live in the world, but it is impossible to do it without Jiuding."

"The world is chaotic today, and there is no peace. Son of Heaven, you live in Luoyi, the land of the Four Wars. I am afraid that the scuffle between the princes will bring disaster to the Zhou family."

"In view of this, the widow should build a palace in Xianyang for the emperor to live in, and let Jiuding move to Xianyang together."

"This……"

Ji Gai was dumbfounded for a moment, but she was speechless!

At this time, Chang Hong, who was loyal to the royal family of Zhou, stood up, pointed at Qingji with a look of grief and indignation on his face, and said, "Marquis Wu! How dare you do such a thing?"

"Nine cauldrons, an artifact. The Son of Heaven, the co-lord of the world!"

"Luoyi has been the accompanying capital of the Zhou family since becoming king, and King Ping moved east to Luoyi!"

"The Marquis of Wu wants to usurp the Nine Tripods and force the Son of Heaven to command the world. I'm afraid he will become the target of public criticism and the accusation of thousands of people!"

"My minister is really worried about the future of Wu!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji just smiled lightly and said, "There is no need for you to worry about the future of Wu Kingdom."

"Jiuding, the widow has moved. The emperor must also live in Xianyang, just in case."

"As for you and other senior officials, you can stay as you want."

"The land of Wang Ji this week will become an inalienable part of our Wu Kingdom."

By this time, who could not understand Qingji's wolfish ambition?
"Qingji!"

Chang Hong was finally furious, and ran to the side of the Jizhou tripod with a stride, stretched out his arms, glared at Qingji, and said loudly: "You are really a traitor! Wu Guo has the surname of Ji anyway, and he is from the Taibo lineage. How can there be such an unfaithful and unfilial descendant like you?"

"If you act like this, how will you be worthy of the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom under the Nine Springs in the future, and how will you have face? See you again, Taibo?"

Qing Ji said slowly: "Chang Hong, I have tolerated you for a long time."

"If I don't protect the Emperor Zhou, if I don't move Jiuding away, I'm afraid that I will be sorry to the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom, and the ancestor Taibo!"

"Get out of the way! If not, don't blame the widow for being rude!"

"Ha ha!"

Chang Hong sneered and said: "Qingji, if you want to take Jiuding, please step over my Chang Hong's corpse first!"

"Well said. Come!"

Qingji narrowed his eyes, pointed at the stubborn Chang Hong, and said loudly, "Drag this old man out and behead him for public display!"

"promise!"

The two guards rushed up immediately.

However, Chang Hong still hugged Jizhou Ding tightly.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Kong Qiu, who Qingji really wanted to execute Chang Hong, stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, Changzi just couldn't think about it for a while, and absolutely has no intention of colliding with Your Majesty!"

"Changzi is a famous person in the world, if the king kills him, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the king!"

"Your Majesty, don't lose the greatness because of the small ones. The death of the son is a small matter, but the king bears the infamy of killing the virtuous, and the matter is a big one!"

Hearing this, Qingji just cast a disdainful glance at Kong Qiu.

Chang Hong was Kong Qiu's teacher, and it was reasonable for Kong Qiu to stand up and intercede for Chang Hong at this time.

"Zhong Ni, you don't have to plead for the old man!"

Chang Hong laughed loudly and said, "I, Chang Hong, am almost an octogenarian, why should I be afraid of death?"

"Today, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood! It's even lucky!"

"My death will let everyone in the world know that Wu Hou Qingji is an unfaithful and unfilial traitor, an unkind and unrighteous tyrant!"

"The king of Jie and Zhou!"

"My blood will be soaked in this Jiuding, let the world remember."

"Let it be passed on to future generations! And you celebrate the death!"

Chang Hong pointed at Qingji and said with a presumptuous smile, "You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, accused by thousands of people, and left with a bad reputation forever!"

As soon as the words fell, Chang Hong turned his head and knocked on the Jizhou tripod.

"Stop him!"

Qingji called out.

"Oh!"

It's too late.

Chang Hong had already bumped his head on the Jizhou tripod, with blood dripping from his forehead, he fell on the floor, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Seeing this scene, Qingji couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Chang Hong, a stubborn old man, is really not afraid of death.

People like him who are bloody, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, have seen too many celebrations.

In fact, Chang Hong's death did not make Qingji feel so sad, nor would he feel any pleasure.

infamy?

Not necessarily.

Qingji's merits and demerits can be commented by later generations, can he, Chang Hong, generalize it?
However, Chang Hong crashed his head on Jiuding to death.

This means that the Nine Cauldrons of the world may be infected with some bad luck...

"Your Majesty, he is still alive."

Kong Qiu, who went up to test Chang Hong's breathing, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and said, "Son of Heaven, Chang Hong's blood stained Jiuding is a serious crime. I don't know how the Son of Heaven plans to punish him?"

"Put...to death?"

Ji Gai said with a pale face.

"When it comes to crimes, Chang Hong should be torn apart by the car and quartered by five horses. However, the widow thinks that he is old and will not have a few years to live, so he can be dispatched to Lingnan."

"Wu Hou Rende."

Qing Ji is absolutely intolerable, Chang Hong stepped on his own fame to rise to the top, and his name will last forever.

Therefore, it is best for Qingji to drive Chang Hong far away, so as to be out of sight and out of mind.

Furthermore, at Chang Hong's age, if he was assigned to Lingnan, he might have died before he arrived in Lingnan, because of the exhaustion of boats and horses, and his inability to adapt to the local climate and environment.
