After getting Jingcui, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers in front of him, and then turned his gaze to the prince who had been silent and had a very low sense of existence: "Prince, during the period when the widow is not in Yingdu, all the major affairs in the country will be handled by you." ”

"Yes, Father!" A smile appeared on the prince's face, and he immediately bowed in response.

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Jing Cui and Qu Yuan and said, "Ling Yin Zuotu, during the period when the widow is not in Yingdu, the two of you will do your best to assist the prince." ”

"Yui."

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Gongsun Yan and said: "Rhino head, Sima's position is very important, and during the period when the widow is not in Yingdu, please don't slack off." ”

"Yui!" Gongsun Yan nodded vigorously, indicating that he had understood.

In the end, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju and said: "Zhuguo, this time the widow led the army to Jiangdong, and a famous general was needed to dispatch the troops. ”

Zhao Ju was secretly happy in his heart: This time the king went to Jiangdong and asked me to accompany him, it seems that the last move was really right.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju immediately responded: "The minister receives the order." ”

Then, Xiong Huai continued to name him: "Zuo Yin, Assassin Shiling, Doctor Sanlu, Doctor Shangguan, and Doctor Zuo, the five virtuous people also went to Jiangdong with the widow. ”

"Yui."

"Please also ask other ministers to stay in Yingdu to assist the prince."

"Yui."

A few days later, Xiong Huai asked Song Meiren, the daughter of the crown prince, to follow him, and then took an army of 80,000 and took a warship to go down the river to Jiangdong.

Seven days later, Xiong Huai was welcomed into Wucheng by the general Zhao Hua and Wu Hou Ji Xin, who guarded Wu Land.

Wucheng Palace, which was the palace of the former King of Yue, Xiong Huai dispersed others, leaving the general Zhao slippery alone.

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Hua and smiled: "Zhaoqing, you and I have been separated for many years, I don't know if Xianqing is good to come in?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, and the minister is grateful!" Zhao Slip gave up.

The two talked for a while, and then Xiong Huai straightened his face and asked: "Xianqing has been in Wu for many years, and I don't know if the people of Wu have any opinions on my Chu State's destruction of Yue. ”

Zhao Hua thought about it, shook his head, and responded: "Back to the king, most of the people in Wu are the original Wu people, and some Yue people moved from Yuedi. For the Wu people, the state of Wu has been destroyed by the Yue country as early as two hundred years ago, and the Yue country has ruled the Wu people for two hundred years.

Therefore, the Wu people have already attached themselves to the Yue people, and they have no intention of recovering the country, and they also have no intention of rejecting our Chu country. Wu has been in exile for two hundred years, and most of the Wu people have long since lost the heart of recovering the country, of course, they will not think about recovering the Yue Kingdom that destroyed the Wu State. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hua paused for a moment, and continued: "Although most of the Wu people are willing to accept the rule of our Chu State, there are still a small number of Wu nobles who still have the heart to restore the Wu State. These people seem to be dissatisfied because the ministers agreed to their request for restoration of the country at the beginning, and then rebelled after the destruction of the Yue Kingdom.

Therefore, after the minister learned that the king intended to relocate the nobles of the Yue Kingdom, the minister reported these people. ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly, and now he understood why most of the Wu people who Zhaohua asked to relocate were meritorious people from the last time when the Chu State destroyed Yue.

In addition to those who are dissatisfied with the status quo, there are also those who have extravagant hopes for the state of Wu.

The former is okay, after the destruction of Yue, the state of Chu rewarded these people and increased the authority of these people in Wudi, which can be regarded as satisfying his requirements and fulfilling his promise.

However, those who still miss Wu Guo.

The State of Chu did not even leave the Yue Kingdom, so how could it restore the State of Wu, which had perished hundreds of years ago?

It's a dream.

Since they don't want to wake up by themselves, then just let Chu State sober them up.

Although the state of Chu could not cross the river and demolish the bridge, the grace would take revenge, and just after using them, they immediately turned against each other, but they don't want to go back to Jiangdong in this life.

Without the foundation of the Wu people, they could only become loyal ministers of the Chu king, a good citizen of the Chu state.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai nodded: "In this case, please ask Xianqing to monitor them first, and then take them all away when the widow returns from Yuedi and returns to Wucheng again." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai smiled: "Although they have a heart of disobedience, they are widowed and benevolent, and they are unwilling to kill meritorious officials." So, then move all these people to the vicinity of Yingdu, and let them guard the tomb for the widows. It is a great grace to guard the tomb of the widow, and I hope they will not let the widow down. ”

"The king is wise." Zhao Slip bowed his hand, then straightened up, and said with a hesitant face: "King, the other Wu people are easy to deal with, only one person is difficult to do, in order to prevent the news from leaking, the minister did not tell the doctor Zhao Gai, I hope to say it to the king in person." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned and hesitated: "Who is this, who needs Xianqing to be so cautious?" ”

"Wuhou Ji Xin's third son, Ji Feng."

"The third son of Wu Hou?" Xiong Huai showed a faint smile.

Wu Hou Ji Xin is a descendant of the Wu royal family, the patriarch of the Ji family, guarding Ji Za's temple in Yanling, after the Chu State destroyed Yue, in order to appease the Wu people, Ji Xin was established as the Marquis of Wu, and let him continue to worship Ji Za.

Now, Zhao Hua actually said that his third son Ji Feng had objections, and he could only speak to him in person, which is a bit intriguing.

Is this just Ji Feng's anti-will, or is the entire Ji family anti-will?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Hua and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhao Slip replied with a heavy face: "King, when the minister came to Yueguo, he sent someone to contact the Yanling Ji family, but he was rejected by Ji Xin, indicating that the Ji family did not want to cause more trouble and betrayed the Yue country. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, Ji Xin's attitude is normal, the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, and only the Ji family of the Wu royal family survived, this is not only for the Yue Kingdom to see Ji Zha's virtue, but also to appease the Wu people through the Ji family.

Two hundred years later, Ji Zha's grace has disappeared, and the Yue Kingdom does not need to appease the Wu people through the Ji family.

At this time, Xiong Huai suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, among the heroes of the extermination of Yue reported by Zhaohua, there was another person named Ji Sui, because this person was a member of the Ji family, Xiong Huai also paid special attention to it.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Xianqing, the widow remembers that there is a general named Ji Sui, who is the hero of the destruction of Yue, I don't know who this Ji Sui is?" ”

Zhao was stunned, and didn't want the King of Chu to remember Ji Sui, so he immediately responded: "King Mingjian, this Ji Sui is the son of Wuhou Ji Xin, the younger brother of Ji Feng, and Ji Sui and Ji Feng have always been good friends, and the two have a close relationship.

At the beginning, Gongziyu and Gongzi's hooves competed for the throne, and the Ji family took refuge in Gongziyu. Because the minister and Gongzi Yu are friendly, so the minister has more contact with Ji's family, in the process of contact, the minister found that Ji Feng was dissatisfied with the Yue Kingdom, and he promised heavy profits to win over Ji Feng, and sure enough, Ji Feng quickly moved closer to the minister.

Originally, Ji Feng thought that my Chu State was calculating the Yue Kingdom, and what I wanted was Huaibei and Huainan, but I didn't want to, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed in a war, and Huainan and Jiangdong were all owned by my Chu State.

After the king named Ji Xin as the Marquis of Wu, Ji Feng, who had always been good friends with his ministers, quickly distanced himself from his ministers, and his ministers knew that Ji Feng still wanted to restore the state of Wu in his heart. ”
