Chapter 510: Framing Zixu
All traitors have a common characteristic, that is, they are smart, capable, and empathetic, and they can not only complete the tasks assigned by their superiors satisfactorily and beautifully, but also understand the thoughts of their superiors, give them what their superiors think but are not good, and do things that their superiors want to do but are not easy to do. With a casual remark from his superiors, he was able to interpret the great historical and practical significance. In the high trust of superiors, maximize their own interests.
Bo Ya has this ability. He never disobeyed King Wu, did not say a word that King Wu did not like to hear, and satisfied all the desires of King Wu to the greatest extent. But in private, according to Fan Li's intentions, he is doing a traitorous business.
Bo Yao has won the high trust of King Wu, and for decades, no one can shake his position.
Every once in a while, Bo Yao would go to Gusu to meet King Wu and report on the recent major affairs, very humble and deferential.
After talking about business, the two of them had to chat for a while. This pair of strange monarchs and ministers have a common hobby, that is, talking about women. They talked very attentively, discussing every detail between the sheets, and then laughed happily.
At this, when King Wu and Bo Yao were talking about Nurao, they suddenly reported that an envoy from the State of Qi had come to visit.
King Wu: "Dazai, I don't know what the envoy of Qi is visiting, you go and meet him and talk about it." ”
Bo Yao: "The minister obeys the order." ”
There was not much time, and Bo Yao had a meeting with King Wu. King Wu: "What is the matter with the envoy of the State of Qi?" ”
Bo Yao: "The envoy of Qi State talked about the fact that the border between Wu State and Qi State on the first line of Dayu Mountain has not yet been surveyed, and the management of the two countries overlaps, causing many contradictions and inconveniences, and asked to resolve this matter through negotiations. ”
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no obvious border between countries as in later generations, but only the ownership of a certain village or town was clearly defined in a place where there were people.
The last Wuqi battle ended in negotiations, but because of the rush of time, the talks were not detailed. This time, the state of Qi sent an envoy to ask for further clarification in the subtleties.
King Wu: "It's not a big deal, you talk to him, just make it clear." ”
Bo Yao: "The minister obeys the order." When this is done, report back to the king. ”
The demarcation of national borders is a major matter in later generations, and some of them can only be resolved after years of arduous negotiations. That's because there may be mineral resources underground with high economic value.
In the Spring and Autumn period, the emphasis was on labor and arable land, with an emphasis on the ownership of towns and villages. There are some barren mountains and mountains that are uninhabited, and no one cares about the country at all.
Bo Ya talked with the envoys of Qi for several rounds, came to meet with King Wu, and reported the situation of the negotiations. After it was over, Bo Ya: "Your Majesty, there is another situation, the minister is not sure whether he should report it." ”
King Wu: "Does it matter?" "In the handling of specific affairs, King Wu fully trusts Bo Yao. There are many specific matters that he doesn't want to hear in return at all.
Bo Yao: "I don't know if this matter is important. ”
King Wu: "Then you see, what the hell is going on." ”
Bo Yao: "The minister has an unexpected discovery. It is the envoys of Qi who often go in and out of the Xiangguo Mansion. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? King Wu immediately became alert.
It is taboo for ministers of the DPRK and China to have private contact with foreigners. Because it is not clear that this matter is easy to associate with people, the ministers generally do not come into contact with foreign envoys. Even if there is contact, it is very secretive.
Bo Yao: "Then, after the minister and the envoy of Qi finished talking, he stopped for a while and dealt with a few things before returning to the house to rest." Walking on the street, I suddenly saw a familiar figure. Walking sneakily on the street, the minister looked, isn't this the envoy of the Qi country? What is he doing here? ”
King Wu: "Yes, what is he going to do?" ”
Bo Yao: "The minister has more eyes, so he asked his subordinates to follow him." Let's see what he's going to do. Later, his subordinates reported that the envoy of the Qi State entered the Xiangguo Mansion and stayed in it for an hour before leaving the Xiangguo Mansion and returning to the post house. So the minister arranged for a subordinate to secretly monitor the envoys of Qi. As a result, it was found that the envoy of Qi had entered the Xiangguo Mansion. The minister felt that this matter might be more important, and did not dare to hide it, so he reported it to the king. ”
King Wu hated: "This Wu Zixu, what is he sneaking into?" ”
Bo Ya: "Who knows? ”
King Wu: "Call Wu Zixu and ask him, what are you doing with the people of Qi?" ”
Bo Yao: "Your Majesty, don't. ”
King Wu looked at Bo Yao: "What's wrong?" This is obviously a violation of the regulations, can't you ask about it? ”
Bo Yao: "Please calm down the king, and listen to the ministers sort out this matter." There are two possibilities for the envoy of Qi to meet Xiangguo, one is a private matter, although this is not very good, but it is not a big mistake. The second is state affairs. That's where the problem comes in. Wu and Qi have always been at odds, and not long ago there was a big war, and all state affairs should be put on the table to discuss, and no one should negotiate privately with the envoys of Qi. And it was the minister who negotiated with Qi State, and this matter had nothing to do with Wu Xiangguo. The problem now is that we don't know whether Wu Xiangguo and the envoys of Qi are talking about private affairs or state affairs. If they are talking about state affairs, then there are two possibilities, one is polite to Wu and the other is unfavorable to Wu. What is not good for Wu is a traitor. ”
King Wu said angrily: "He dares to betray the State of Wu, and the widow cuts off his head!" ”
Bo Yao: "You can't ask about this, if you ask, it will startle the snake." Wu Xiangguo just did something unfavorable to Wu State, and he will not admit it, we can't do anything to him because he has contact with the envoy of Qi State, after all, he is an important minister of the imperial court. If he really wants to do something unfavorable to Wu Guo, such a question, he will be alert and his actions will be more secretive, and it will be difficult for us to control it. ”
King Wu: "That makes sense, according to Dazai's meaning, what should we do?" ”
Bo Ya: "We can investigate in secret. As long as you have conclusive evidence, you can clear the hidden danger at that time. ”
King Wu: "That's a good idea. The widow will send you to conduct a secret investigation of Wu Zixu. ”
Bo Yao: "The minister's decree." The courtiers regularly reported to the king on the status of their investigations. ”
Since then, Wu Zixu has been under the secret surveillance of Bo Yao.
This is inherently absurd. Secret surveillance of important officials in the imperial court was in itself an act of adding to the chaos. Especially if someone like Bo Yao does this kind of thing, the final result will be to frame Zhongliang!
Bo Yao received Fan Li's instructions to get rid of Wu Zixu, he did two things, the first was to frame Wu Zixu for breaking the wine jar dedicated to King Wu, so that King Wu completely lost his trust in Wu Zixu, and the second thing was to secretly monitor Wu Zixu and wait for an opportunity to frame him.
