A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 169

Huai State, Jinling.

Dim sunlight shines in through the window, reflecting on the figure sitting in front of the desk.Her once jet-black hair had become mottled.Wang Qi reached out to stroke the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, sighed slightly in his heart, and then looked at the handsome young man in front of him.

This is his eldest son, Wang Pu.

At that time, Wang Pu was only a few days old, and he looked like a flawless jade. Everyone in the public office was amazed. Wang Qi and Xizi had three sons and two daughters. It can be said that each of them was like a flawless jade.After they grew up, although they were slightly inferior to their mother, they were still peerless.

His two daughters are not as beautiful as their mother, and it is he who is a father who is holding back.Although Wang Qi is also handsome and handsome among the male family, it depends on who he is compared with. The charm of the whole family is above 95, and he is the only one with 91. Can he not hold back?
Looking at the heroic eldest son, Wang Qi also realized that he was getting old.

It has been more than [-] years since Huai State moved its capital to Jinling.Back then, Wang Qi moved the capital to Jinling under pressure, and he was under a lot of pressure. If there were any problems with Jinling's development, it would become an excuse for those people.

After moving westward to Jinling, he needed to maintain the interests of all parties, continue to promote young crop loans, and suppress the aristocratic class in the country.A few years ago, Wu Zixu and Sun Wuzi passed away successively. Fortunately, there were Fan Li and Wen Zhong in the court.

The Huai country has been restraining its edge over the years. After all, the Huai country is so powerful that it is too easy to be beaten by various countries.Especially this time after Huai State beat Chu State to the ground.

Therefore, in these years, the Huai State has not used troops against the Bangzhou states, and even the states that have been surrounded by the Huai state, Wang Qi has not moved, and at the same time has made good friends with the Bangzhou states.

Most of the students in the Academy are also serving in various countries, and at the same time, there are also students from various countries going to the Academy to study.Even the state of Qin has students who come to study.

Although Huai State did not expand outwards, several countries bordering Huai State did not dare to touch Huai State's eyebrows, especially when Sun Wuzi was still alive, Qi Chu was relieved after Sun Wuzi passed away.

When Sun Wuzi passed away, Wang Qi gave him a very high treatment. He sent Prince Pu to support his coffin, and the Tengjia Army escorted him. He also ordered the whole country to ban singing, dancing and banquets for three days, and the whole country mourned.

It is said that after the death of Sun Wuzi, the king of Chu danced happily in the palace, and then got drunk.

After Wang Qi heard about this incident, he was very angry and ordered his army to capture the two cities of Chu State, and remove the people in the cities and return them.The state of Chu was at the forefront of Huai state's troops and did not dare to fight with it, so it could only send envoys to demand that Huai state return its people.

The envoy of Chu State came and said that Chu State had no faults, that Huai's attack on Chu State was unjust, and that Huai State wanted to let Huai State send the people back.

Wang Qi attacked the state of Chu on the grounds that the state of Huai was mourned, and the king of Chu deliberately sang, danced and drank, which hurt the feelings of the state of Huai.He also stated that the battle was completely caused by the rudeness of the King of Chu, and that the State of Chu should bear full responsibility, and demanded that the State of Chu compensate for the loss of food and grass and the compensation for the deaths and injuries of soldiers.

The envoy of Chu State was shocked and angry: "Now that Huai is strong and Chu is weak, if you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about!"

When the whole state of Chu heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and asked the king of Chu to send troops to attack Huai.The king of Chu, Xiang Meng, and Qu Qing hesitated for a long time, but in the end they did not send troops, and ordered strict defense, and all the passes must be vigilant to prevent the Huai country from sneaking.

Wang Qi was very sorry to see that Chu State endured and did not send troops.This time he took advantage of the opportunity to play, and wanted Chu to attack, and then took advantage of the situation to attack Chu, but it was a pity that Chu was not fooled, and Wang Qi did not have the idea of ​​​​forcibly attacking Chu's pass, so he let it go.

Under the governance of Wang Qi, Jinling City exudes vitality. The majestic city walls are shocking, and the dazzling sunlight shines down, adding a bit of majesty to it.

The sun was scattered in the Huai Palace, Wang Qi looked at the slightly dazzling light, he was very old, his beard and hair were all white, but he could vaguely see the demeanor of his youth.

Xi Shi poured a cup of fermented glutinous rice for him. Since the imperial physician advised Wang Qi to quit drinking a few years ago, Xi Shi no longer allowed him to drink alcohol, but changed to fermented glutinous rice.At this time, she is still the same as when the two got married, she is as beautiful as ever, and her beauty is still the same.

Even though he has been in charge of the Huai Palace and Harem for many years, the spirituality in him still hasn't diminished, but there is just a touch of extravagance, the beauty of Zhong Tiandi, and the elite of mountains and rivers.

Looking at the magnificent wife in front of him, Wang Qi couldn't help but praise: "My beloved is magnificent, but I have become a sour old man."

"Beloved, don't say that." Xi Shi gently covered Wang Qi's mouth with her slender hands, and then looked at Wang Qi with a smile like decades ago: "My beloved is a great hero who stands up to heaven and earth."

"But the hero is late!" Wang Qi sighed, "I have already felt that I will die this autumn."

Xi Shi's heart trembled, and then she smiled and said: "If the king passes away, the concubine will definitely follow me."

"My beloved, I am dying, so why are you leaving with me?"

Xi Shi said: "Back then when I drank the wine, I made an agreement to live and die together. How can I break the agreement?"

A cave world appeared in front of Wang Qi's eyes, and he saw the figure of his ancestor Zijue.Immediately realized that his lifespan was approaching, and then summoned the people from the office.Dozens of people were sitting indoors, and all of them had a black bird pattern on their foreheads.

When Wang Qi saw the crowd coming here, he immediately said, "I'm going to die."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Wang Qi's decades-long ruling has made people accustomed to his existence.Now that he was about to die suddenly, it was hard for everyone to accept it for a while.

Wang Qi said with a smile: "I am a mortal after all, so naturally I am going to die."

"But don't be sad, I'm just going to see the ancestor first."

"Pu'er, after I die, the Huai Kingdom will be handed over to you! From now on, you will be the lord of the Wang family, remember to be careful in everything, and listen to Fan Qing and Wenqing's opinions more. You are a smart child, remember not to treat any enemy carelessly."

"Good boy, I will hand over the Huai Kingdom to you from now on!"

Wang Pu was so sad that he walked forward on his knees.

Wang Qi smiled, and then said:
"Okay, don't act like a child anymore, you are already the head of the family." After speaking, he waved his hand to let everyone back down.

"Back off, let me stay with your mother for a while!"

Everyone retreated, and soon two cranes descended from the sky and landed in front of the Huai Palace.

In the hall, there was a lot of crying.The bronze bell in the Huai Palace rang, and the entire Jinling fell silent instantly. Everyone knew that Duke Huai had passed away.

In the 51st year of Duke Xiang of Huaiwen, Duke Huai died in Jinling. On the same day, Xizi also died of heart palpitations. They were buried together in Nanshan.

Being kind to the people is called Wen; bestowing titles on the people is called Wen; being diligent in learning and inquiring is called Wen; being knowledgeable and seeing more is called Wen; being loyal and faithful to accepting ceremonies is called Wen;

Duke Wenxiang of Huai, Wang Qi, ruled the country for 51 years, broke Chu, moved to Jinling, promoted culture and education, raised people's power, and dominated the world.
