Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 89
The end of the new year is approaching, and the war between Wu and Yue has finally come to an end, and it has come to an end for the time being.

After the Yue State handed over Helu's body and Wu Zixu to the Wu army, and withdrew from the four cities of Wuyuan, Li, Yu'er, and Xing with a radius of [-] miles, Wu also released nearly [-] Vietnamese prisoners of war.

At the same time, Bo Tong re-established the non-aggression pact with Yue Wang Yunchang in Wuyuan.

As for whether such a covenant is effective, it is unknown!

King Wu Palace, the main hall.

Qingji sat high on the Majesty's platform, discussing state affairs with a group of ministers and officials.

"Your Majesty, Bo Tong is already waiting outside the hall."

"Xuan."

"only!"

After receiving Qingji's instruction, an eunuch quickly turned around, stood on the side of the majesty's platform and shouted in a sharp voice: "Xuan, Da Xing ordered Bo Tong to go to the hall!"

Not long after, Bo Tong, who was dressed in a black official robe and was full of dust, entered the hall step by step with a brocade box in his hand.

Facing the different gazes of the officials on both sides, Bo Tong swaggered like a rooster fighting for victory, and finally bowed in front of the Majesty's platform and said: "Minister Bo Tong, see the king! The king is forever!"

"No gift, flat!"

"Thank you king!"

Only then did Bo Tong stand up slowly, leaning forward, with an air of respect and flattery.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, I have lived up to my mission. I have re-established an alliance with the Yue Kingdom, and brought the corpse of the guilty minister Ji Guangzhi and Wu Yuan back to the capital of Wu, waiting for your majesty to deal with me!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji nodded slightly and said, "Bo Tong, what's in your box?"

"It is the head of the criminal minister Ji Guang!"

"Bring it up."

As soon as Qingji waved his hand, the eunuch on the side trotted down and handed the brocade box in Bo Tong's hand to Qingji.

Qing Ji opened the brocade box and saw that there was a huge head in the box, with a ferocious face, fresh blood, messy hair, and a foul smell emanating from the inside.

But Qing Ji could vaguely tell that this was He Lu's appearance!

Qingji is really worried that He Lu will not die!

Now, after seeing Helu's head with his own eyes, Qingji finally felt relieved.

"Bo Tong, you have made great contributions for the widow and the country of Wu!"

Qingji put the brocade box containing Helu's head on one side, glanced at Bo Tong under the majesty's platform, and said solemnly: "I am going to make an imperial edict to seal Bo Tong as a Dianke, to live in Jiuqing, and to give him five gold coins." Ten yi, ten bolts of silk!"

"My lord, thank you for your grace! Great King Wannian! Great Wu Wannian!"

Bo Tong suddenly looked like weeping with joy, and bowed his head.

For things like money, fame and fortune, Bo Tong is after all!
Now that Qingji is offering such a heavy reward, how can Bo Tong not be grateful?

"Where is Wu Zixu?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Wu Zixu is outside the palace!"

"Put him in prison first, and deal with him later!"

"only!"

Qingji obviously didn't intend to execute Wu Zixu immediately.

Immediately, Qingji looked at the brocade box on the table, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, what do you think, how should I deal with Ji Guang?"

"..."

He Lu was dead, but his body was still there, Qingji obviously couldn't let He Lu go easily.

If it hadn't been for He Lu who committed suicide, if a captured He Lu was escorted to Qingji, torture such as chariot splitting and cooking torture would definitely be unavoidable!

Even if it is death, Qingji is not willing to let He Lu die too decently and easily!
The senior doctor was removed from his hand holding his tooth wat, and he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Sri Lankan is dead! Although Ji Guang is a rebellious minister who killed the king and usurped the throne, everyone can punish him."

"However, after all, Ji Guang is a descendant of the Wu Kingdom. The great king's uncle was once the son of the Wu Kingdom! Now that Ji Guang is dead, there is nothing left."

"I thought that the king could put Ji Guang's body in a coffin and place it properly! In this way, the king's benevolence and righteousness will be shown, and the king's virtue, kindness, and incomparable broad-mindedness will be shown to the people of the world!"

"The doctor's words are wrong!"

Before Qingji could speak, Bo Tong, who had already been promoted to Dianke, couldn't help but stood up, looked at the belied with resentment, and scolded, "How can such a criminal like Ji Guang be easily forgiven?"

"Although Ji Guang died, his crime cannot be erased! Ji Guang and the king are of the same origin, but when he killed the king and usurped the throne, did he ever have such a relationship?"

"The crime of treason should be punished by the nine clans. It should be smashed, boiled and killed, and the corpse should be thrown in the downtown area!"

"If Ji Guang, a criminal minister who committed the king-killing, usurping the throne, and treasonous deeds, can be buried after his death, and his body can be buried properly, isn't it conniving lawbreakers to despise the king and the law of the country?"

"The majesty of the national law is inviolable, and the majesty of the king is even more inviolable!"

Bo Tong bowed to Qing Ji loudly and said, "Your Majesty, my servant, please dispose of Ji Guang's body in the downtown area, or hang it at the city gate for public display!"

"Its head can be sacrificed in the Taimiao, or it can be placed in front of the ancestors' spirits to comfort the ancestors and the spirits of the kings of the Great Wu Dynasty!"

"By example!"

Hearing this, Beli was furious immediately, pointed at Bo Tong and shouted loudly: "Bo Tong, how dare you instigate the king to do such a brutal thing?"

"When a person is dead, he still insults his body. Is it the action of the master? Is it the action of the benevolent king and the wise master?"

Facing Li's harsh accusations, Bo Tong was not afraid at all, but a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said sarcastically, "Master, why are you so angry?"

"You protect Ji Guang's corpse like this and speak for him. Could it be that you feel pity for your past friendship with Ji Guang as a monarch and minister?"

Hearing the words from Li, he immediately blew his beard and stared at him with anger, and yelled at Bo Tong: "You bastard! Bo Tong! You don't want to spout blood here!"

"My majestic senior doctor, a nobleman from generation to generation, how can you, a villain from Chu Kingdom, be able to slander and criticize me!"

After saying that, Bei Li couldn't help the violent temper in his heart, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush up and beat Bo Tong violently.

Fortunately, the minister next to him quickly hugged the detainee to prevent him from violently hurting others.

"enough!"

Qing Ji, who had been watching coldly, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and after a soft drink, he said sharply: "Do you think my Great Wu's court hall is like a market? The dignified doctor is like a shrew cursing the streets and fighting fiercely. How decent!"

"Your Majesty calm down!"

The officials immediately knelt down and begged Qingji to quell the anger of the thunder.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty!"

Bo Tong and Bei Li who lost his composure couldn't help kneeling on the ground, trembling for it.

It's justifiable to be angry at Bo Tong and curse at him.

After all, Bo Tong's hat was too ruthless, and He Lu was a criminal minister who killed the king and usurped the throne. If Li had anything to do with him, how could he not be suspected by Qing Ji?

And once Qingji has doubts about being separated, he will definitely alienate him, and when he is separated, he will either die or die, or end his official career and end in depression!
"Dazai, what do you think we should do with Ji Guang's corpse?"

Qingji turned his attention to Jizha who had been silent all this time.
