Hearing that Nangwa rushed back to Yingdu to deal with state affairs at this time, Qingji couldn't help crying and laughing.

However, no surprises!

Nangwa, the Ling Yin of the Chu State, a generation of powerful ministers, but he is a greedy traitor and a man with wine bags and rice bags.

Such a person is in charge of the military and political power of Chu State, and the reason why Chu State will not decline?

As for the reason why Nangwa escaped from this alliance of soldiers, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

This time Wu and Chu killed the army, for the Chu State is a loss of power and humiliation of the country, and those who sign this alliance will undoubtedly be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Chu State!

Nangwa itself is already infamous, and if he signs such a humiliating covenant, will he be spurned by all the Chu people?

Qingji said with heartfelt emotion: "The country of Chu has a constant child, which is the great misfortune of the state of Chu. The state of Chu has Zixi and Shen Qing, but it is the great luck of the state of Chu! ”

"King Wu praises."

Zixi and Shen Zhuliang, who were praised by Qingji like this, hurriedly said humbly.

As the so-called sedan chair carries people.

Flattering one's own words, no one doesn't like to hear!

As an enemy, Qingji can praise himself like this, which undoubtedly makes Zixi and Shen Zhuliang very happy, and they even have a good impression of Qingji.

"You two, please be seated."

As the host's Qingji, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he invited Zixi and Shen Zhuliang to sit on both sides.

Subsequently, the national letter in duplicate was placed on the eucalyptus of Qingji and Zixi, although papermaking has been invented, and gradually popularized in the world, but in national events, as well as important occasions, the documents are generally made of silk.

Qingji took a wolf pen, signed his name on the national letter without thinking, and stamped it with the seal of King Wu.

He has read this letter several times, and he still wrote it himself, so he doesn't have to worry about "contract traps".

As for Zixi and Shen Zhuliang, it was after careful examination that they started to sign their names, as for the seal, the private seal was covered, and the jade seal of the King of Chu had already been stamped on the national letter, which was very eye-catching!

After confirming that it was correct, the two sides reached a consensus.

"Come on, serve wine and meat!"

Qingji greeted the soldiers with a smile and brought up all the wine and meat prepared in advance.

"King Wu, this ...... We are busy with military affairs. ”

"Needless to say!"

Qingji stepped forward very enthusiastically, grabbed Zixi's arm, and said with a smile: "The war is over, Wu and Chu have reconciled, congratulations!" ”

"The one who comes is a guest, and the widow is the host's house, how can it be rude?"

Qingji put on a look of Zixi and Shen Zhuliang refused, but he didn't give face, which made the two very helpless.

Fortunately, the matter has come to this point, and they are not afraid of any tricks that Qingji will play!

After they sat down, they saw that the guards beside Qingji had already served plates of wild vegetables and soybeans, with a ding of venison and an urn of fine wine, it was already a delicacy, good wine and good meat.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Zixi suddenly said: "King Wu, I heard that my king's sister, Princess Ji Mi, is there with King Wu, I don't know if it is or not?" ”

"Shen Gongzi is well-informed."

Qingji put down the wine jue and said with a smile: "Ji Mi is indeed here. ”

"Can the king send Princess Ji Mi back to Yingdu?"

"Back to Yingdu? Why return to Yingdu? ”

Qingji pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "The widow and Ji Mi have already made a marriage contract, but Ji Mi was young at the time, and now she is too young to marry, why not Wu Chuzhi?" ”

"Alas!"

Zixi could only sigh.

Chu State really lost his wife and his troops this time!

They never expected that Ji Qiqi and I would actually throw myself into the net and throw myself into the arms of Qingji.

If not, it would be okay for Chu State to take this opportunity not to recognize this family business.

……

At the end of June 508 B.C., in the sixth year of Qingji, Wu and Chu entered into an alliance at Jifu, declaring that the eight-month war ended in a draw.

Although it was a draw, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the state of Chu suffered a big loss, and the state of Wu made a lot of money.

In order to avoid the eastward expansion of the Chu State and get involved in the newly occupied Tong, Qunshu, Chao, and Zhongli lands occupied by the Wu State, Qingji appointed Wu Zixu as the general of Zhenxi, increased the title of governor, and controlled the military affairs of various cities and towns west of the Great River.

At the same time, the Wu army was heavily garrisoned in Qianyi and Liuyi to build fortifications to prevent the Chu army from advancing eastward in the future.

Considering that the foundation of the Chu State is still strong, Qingji asked Wu Zixu's jurisdiction to be equipped with a standing army of 15,000 people of the Wu State in case of contingencies!

After the battle of Wu and Chu, the state of Chu aimed at the allied forces of the princes of the eighteen countries who were about to go south.

With Zixi as the general and Shen Zhuliang as the deputy general, the state of Chu led 80,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the front line of Fangcheng, preparing to resist the threat from the princes of the Central Plains.

Wu Palace, the main hall.

Qingji, who was wearing a crown robe, was receiving the worship of the ministers.

Almost every time he returned triumphantly, Qingji would hold a grand court meeting the next day to deal with national affairs.

This time is no exception!

Qingji sat on the throne, looked around, looked at the ministers and said slowly: "Second and third sons, Wu Chu has already killed the army, and my Wu country has more than 20 cities west of the Great River, how to settle them?" Please also ask the second and third sons to speak freely. ”

The meaning of Qingji's words is that he wants to ask the ministers to discuss.

Should the newly seized cities and lands in the western part of Wu be classified as Huiji counties in the same way as the original Yuedi and Gudi, so as to facilitate governance.

Dazai Jiza first said: "The king, the old minister thinks that he might as well follow the example of Huiji County and set up a county in the western land to make it easier to govern. The mainland of my Wu country is still far away from the west, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is difficult for the decree of the government to reach the west for a while! ”

"What Dazai said is extremely true!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The right prime minister Ji Ran stood up for support as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the ministers also expressed their approval.

The establishment of Huiji County had a profound impact on the state of Wu.

Since the establishment of Huiji County, Wu did not need to spend too much time and energy to take care of the southern Yuedi, because Huiji County could be effectively governed, and only Wu Wang Qingji was responsible.

For administrative districts at the county level, the ministers all considered it necessary to establish them in the western region.

However, Qingji did not immediately express his position.

Seeing Qingji's appearance, the pawn Bo Biao, who has always been good at figuring out his intentions, immediately came out with a tooth wat in his hand and said: "King, the minister thinks that a new county should not be set up in the west!" ”

"Why?"

Qingji asked unhurriedly.

"The situation in the West is different from that in the Old Vietnam. There are many feudal kings in the west, and the hearts of the people are scattered, and I am afraid that they will not be able to obey the orders of the county guard. This is one of them! ”

Bo said loudly: "Second, the western land borders the hinterland of Chu State, and it is inevitable that there will be a disaster of soldiers, and my Wu State needs to be heavily garrisoned. If the county is placed, the county's authority is too large and the responsibility is too heavy! ”

"Third, the west is long and narrow, and the population is very large, the land is fertile and the people of Li are rich, if the feudal monarch has the heart of not being subordinate, then for my Wu country, there will be endless troubles!"
