Chapter 858: King Qi Falls
The crown prince listened to King Qi's last sigh, and suddenly remembered the various contradictions between his father and Meng Weijun's father when he ascended the throne, and immediately nodded thoughtfully.
At that time, the Tian family was established, and many people still had their hearts set on the Lu family, so the first king appointed a large number of people from the Tian family as generals.
However, now that the Tian clan has been established for many years, it still uses a large number of Tian generals, which is a bit out of place.
The earliest Tian Ji, the later Tian Ying, etc., are all strong, and more importantly, Tian Ji also rebelled and led the army to attack Linzi. And Tian Ying, the father of Meng Weijun, also intended to stand on his own feet in Xue Di and build a city for self-defense.
If this is the case, the strength of the office has already aroused the vigilance of the kings of Qi in the past dynasties.
Especially the Gong clan is not as good as others, if the Gong clan fails to rebel, it is good, once it succeeds, the ministers from all over the Qi State will definitely not avenge the first king, because this is an internal dispute within the Tian clan.
Thinking about it, the prince was silent for a long time before he responded: "Father, rest assured, the sons will definitely be very wary of the king of Chu." โ
King Qi nodded slightly when he heard this, then frowned again, and then struggled to put his hand deep in the quilt, and then grabbed the prince's arm, pulled the prince closer to him, and admonished: "Prince, the state of Chu is strong, and my father is not worried that the prince will relax his vigilance against the state of Chu, but that the prince will relax the vigilance of the country of Yan." โ
"Yan Guo?" The prince was stunned for a while, thinking of the king of Yan who jumped up and down like a clown, but was deeply hit by Qi Guo, and could only indulge in the harem and ask for immortals everywhere, and suddenly smiled disdainfully.
Seeing this, King Qi immediately grabbed the prince's hand and said sharply: "Prince, have you forgotten what your father just said?" People not only change, they also grow. The former King of Chu is the current King of Yan, and the widow is more worried that the current King of Chu is the future King of Yan.
The flames were so fierce that everyone was afraid, so few people were killed by the fire. The water is weak, everyone is close, but there are so many people who are drowned.
This King of Chu is like a flame, the widow is not worried that the prince will despise the Chu State, the only thing the widow is worried about is the Yan King who is growing up and scheming, but always intends to take revenge on the Qi State.
When the age Hou reported Qi Hou to Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Tianzi cooked and killed Qi Aigong, this account, Qi State did not forget, and when Qi Xianggong arrived, Qi State was destroyed in one fell swoop. Confucius commented: Can the Ninth World still take revenge? Although it can be a hundred generations.
The widow killed the king of Yan, killed the prince of Yan, and many princes and nobles of the Yan country, this account is unforgettable, not to mention the current king of Yan, who is the son of the king of Yan, will not forget it. โ
The crown prince nodded seriously: "Father, rest assured, the sons will not forget." โ
When the King of Qi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then lay down on the bed again, and then his eyes wandered, remembering the past, and said with a smile: "Prince, it is not enough not to forget the hatred of Yan Guo towards Qi State, what the prince needs to do more is to completely solve the future trouble of Yan Guo and complete the long-cherished wish of his father and the ancestors of Qi State." โ
The prince nodded again and said, "Father, rest assured, the sons dare not forget." โ
"Okay." King Qi nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say something more, when at this time, a waiter suddenly walked in in a hurry, and said hurriedly: "King, it's not good, the eldest grandson of the prince of Xiangguo has come to report, and the prince of Xiangguo has just been in Xiangfu." โ
"What?" King Qi was shocked, and his face suddenly turned like ashes.
The waiter's words were like a sharp and cold sword, piercing King Qi's heart fiercely, making his heart ache.
The confidant who had been behind him since he ascended the throne actually went before him at this time.
King Qi gasped for breath for a long time, and he wanted to get up and go to Xiangguo in person, but he found that his body did not have any strength, and it was difficult to even get up.
Seeing this, he could only say to the prince with pain and regret: "Prince, send Xiangguo on behalf of the widow and give it to each other with heavy gifts." โ
"The retainers take the order."
After the king of Qi left the crown prince's land, he remembered the past again, and for a long time, he finally closed his eyes in pain.
On the other side, after Prince Qi worshiped the prince of Xiangguo, he had just left the prince's mansion, a cold wind blew, and the prince suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and then, a snowflake drifted in front of him, and the prince raised his head slightly, and saw the goose-feather-like snow suddenly falling, and couldn't help but mutter: "It's snowing." โ
Before the words fell, at this time, a waiter came to the side of the prince in horror and cried bitterly: "Prince, it's not good, the king has just died." โ
When the prince heard this, his head suddenly went blank.
The prince of Xiangguo is dead, and now his father is also gone, and within a day, the two most important pillars of the Qi country have all collapsed, so what should he do now?
Suddenly, the prince found that the entire Qi Kingdom had fallen on his shoulders, and the heavy pressure fell on his heart, weighing him down.
However, after only a few breaths, the prince calmed down, and then instructed while returning to the palace: "Order, immediately prepare for the state funeral of the former king, issue obituaries to various countries, and send people to visit various countries to show the friendship between Qi and other countries." โ
"Yui."
"Order, immediately hold the enthronement ceremony, and the throne will be officially completed tomorrow."
"Yui."
"Summon, let Minister Ji Zi take the throne of the prime minister and deal with state affairs first."
"Yui."
"Order, let General Zhang Zi continue to stay in Qinghe City, and be careful to guard the Chu State. Let General Shengzi go to the Northland and be careful to guard against Zhao and Yan. โ
"Yui."
"Order, go to the Great Liang of Wei State quickly, and invite Wei Xiangmeng to taste Jun Tianwen to return to China to attend the funeral."
"Yui."
"Order, immediately send someone to Teng State to visit Teng Xiang Zhai Qiang, send him a gift from Gu, and tell him that now Qi State has fulfilled its promise in the past and helped him ascend to the position of Xiangguo of Wei, hoping that he will not live up to Gu's kindness."
"Yui."

Huiji Palace.
Xiong Huai sat on the throne with a smile on his face, holding Song Meiren in one hand, enjoying Song Meiren's service, and watching Wu Meiren dance in the hall, his face showing a heartfelt joy.
Jiangdong's reform is proceeding in an orderly manner, and now Jiangdong is under the auspices of Tang Wu, the population inventory has been completed, and even the land inventory has come to an end, leaving only some remote and uninhabited wasteland that has not yet been clarified, but these ownerless wastelands have not affected the overall situation.
Now, Xiong Huai can confirm that the overall situation of Jiangdong has been decided, and as long as a few years are spent in peace, Jiangdong will be the Jiangdong of Chu State.
More importantly, Xiong Huai originally thought that Chu's changes in Jiangdong would cause vigilance and intervention from all countries, but in the past six months, although so many major events have happened in Jiangdong, there have been no major changes in various countries, let alone taking the opportunity to attack Chu, which made Xiong Huai surprised and didn't care too much.
After all, the country of Qi, which is closest to Jiangdong, is separated by a Huainan in the middle.
If the Qi army really attacked Huaiyin City, or crossed the sea, then Xiong Huai would let the Qi State see that the name of the first sailor in the world of the Chu State was not blown out.
Originally, the Chu army was ready, but unfortunately the Qi army did not come.
