In the sixth year of King Qingji, that is, in October 508 BC, the state of Wu officially moved its capital to Jinling.

All the countries of the world sent envoys to congratulate them, and the more remote Qin and Yan countries did not care, except for the long distance, the Wu State did not have that kind of influence.

Rao is like this, Jin, Qi, Lu, Song, Wei and other Central Plains countries also sent some ministers above the middle doctor to congratulate Wu on moving the capital and living in Jinling.

All the tribes and feudal monarchs under the rule of Wu also came to Jinling in person to congratulate.

It is worth mentioning that Zhong Wuguo, Xu Guo and Cai Guo, the monarchs of the three vassal states, all came to Jinling in person to congratulate Qingji in order to show their respect.

Wu Wanggong, outside the Fengtian Palace, wearing a crown and a smile on his face, is receiving congratulations from the envoys of various countries and the feudal monarchs.

Standing on one side, CRRC Fu Ling Jiao slipped, holding a silk book in his hand, which was a gift list.

According to the quota on the gift list, Jiao Slip read aloud: "...... In order to celebrate the new capital of my king's house, the Jin Kingdom sent 200 pieces of gold, a pair of jade, 800 horses of silk, and 100,000 stones of corn! Congratulations to Wu Guo! ”

"In order to celebrate the new capital of my king's mansion, Qi sent 200 pieces of gold, 1,000 horses of silk, a pair of jade pendants, and 100,000 stones of corn!"

"In order to celebrate the new capital of my king's mansion, Wei Guo will send 120 gold and 500 horses of silk, a pair of jade, and 50,000 stones of corn!"

The congratulatory gifts of the nations are very rich.

For example, large countries like Jin and Qi offered 200 eridium and 100,000 stones of corn, and some medium-sized countries such as Song, Wei, and Lu also expressed their hearts and gave generous gifts.

As the saying goes, it's not rude.

They offered so many congratulatory gifts, and Wu Guo naturally wanted to send some gifts in return.

Like Zhong Lijun, Chao Jun, Lu Shujun, etc., the feudal monarchs under the rule of Wu also gave generous gifts, or gold and jade, or cloth and silk linen, or local specialties, and so on.

Afterwards, Qingji sat on the throne, raised the wine lord in his hand, and toasted a knight of wine to everyone under His Majesty.

In view of the fact that there were too many envoys and feudal kings who came to congratulate him, about 500 people, so Qingji deliberately set up a banquet outside the Fengtian Palace to entertain the landlord.

"Congratulations to the king!"

"Congratulations to Wu Guo!"

"Second and third sons, please drink this knight!"

Qingji is arrogant, and his face remains unchanged.

"Playing music!"

"Dance—"

With the sound of the trumpet, the dancers and musicians who had been prepared for a long time all stood on the square stage and began to play music and dance.

They played the classical music of Da Shao.

Rather than the usual melodious music and dance.

There are poems, music, and dances in the trinity, and there are bells, chimes, qins, seers, pipes, shengs, flutes, moles, drums, chimes, squeezes, rings, yongs and other musical instruments that sound in unison.

Some people sing their words, and some people dance as birds, beasts, and phoenixes.

Moving the capital is a very solemn thing, so Qingji naturally follows the ancient system in everything.

A true gentleman and sage, when he hears "Da Shao", he will have a feeling of fascination, as if he can understand some kind of truth from it.

And "laymen" like Qingji, Bo Tuo, and Sun Wu are not exempt from vulgarity.

It is difficult for them to understand the obscure Yale, but when they see so many people pretending to be intoxicated by it, they are also all elegant, and they look very intoxicated.

After receiving a group of envoys, feudal monarchs, and tribal leaders, Qingji put on a large robe for sacrifice, and led the ministers and doctors of Wu to go to the Taimiao to pay tribute to their ancestors and the kings of Wu.

Then, Qingji went to the altar on the outskirts of Jinling non-stop, and sacrificed three animals to the sky, telling the Taiyi God that the Wu people believed in.

In the end, Qingji returned to the palace of King Wu and feasted the ministers.

After this set of processes, Qingji's whole person was tired physically and mentally.

Rao is that he is physically strong, and he can't stand it!

……

The next day, in the Zide Palace, Qingji met with Cai Hou.

Cai Hou is for Cai Shen, the historical Cai Zhaohou.

Cai Hou was grateful to Wu Wang Qingji at this time.

Because when Cai Hou was worshipping Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, he was coveted by Yin Nangwa for beautiful jade and leather clothes, so he was detained in Yingdu for a year.

It was Qingji who sent troops to attack Chu under the banner of justice for Cai Hou, which forced the Chu people to release Cai Hou.

With such kindness, how could Cai Hou not be grateful to Qingji and Wu Guo?

"King Wu, if King Wu does not give up, the widow is willing to serve King Wu as the suzerain, and Cai Guo will pay tribute every year!"

Cai Hou took the initiative to recognize Wu as the suzerainty and call him a tribute.

How can Qingji refuse?

Cai Hou can see it!

In these years, whether it is the Jin State or the Chu State, it is unreliable!

The only thing Cai Guo can rely on is Wu Guo!

Wu is now in the rising stage, and it needs the full support of many small countries.

At this time, Cai Guo took the initiative to recognize Wu Guo as the suzerain, and it is conceivable that Wu Guo will definitely repay Cai Guo in the future.

Cai Hou is so knowledgeable, but it makes Qingji a little surprised.

"Hahahaha, Cai Hou, if I, Wu Guo, can get your Cai Guo's help, why can't I stand on the world? Very good! ”

Qingji naturally looks up to Cai Guo very much.

Speaking of which, Qingji and Cai Hou are still distant relatives, everyone is the descendant of King Zhou, but Cai Hou has a closer relationship with the Zhou royal family.

Cai Guo is a country surnamed Ji and is of the same clan as the Zhou royal family. Its original seal is Cai Shudu.

As the son-in-law of King Wen and the half-brother of King Wu, Cai Shudu's status in the early Zhou Dynasty can be said to be quite lofty because of blood relationship.

Cai was assigned to Shang Wangji as three eunuchs, the so-called "eunuchs", that is, supervising the remnants of Yin Shang to prevent them from rebelling.

Later, because Cai Shudu followed Wu Geng to rebel, he was exiled to Guo Lin by the Duke of Zhou.

After Cai Shudu's death, Zhou Gongdan sealed his son Cai Zhong to Cai and rebuilt the Cai Kingdom.

The actual boundary of Cai's original fiefdom extends to the east to the Don State and the Shen State, the south is close to the Xi State and the Jiang State, the west is adjacent to the Fang State, the Dao State and the Bai State, and the Chen State and the Xu State are in the north.

Straddling the two basins of the Ru River and the Huai River, it was a vassal state with a large territory at that time.

It's a pity that the successive monarchs of Cai are not angry!

In history, Cai was destroyed twice and forced to move the capital twice.

Cai's most recent destruction was more than 20 years ago.

In the past, the prince of Chu besieged and killed the monarch Jia Ao and established himself as the king of Chu, which was the king of Chu Ling.

Because Cai Jinghou married a daughter-in-law from Chu like a prince before, Cai Jinghou communicated with his daughter-in-law again, and the prince killed Cai Jinghou and established himself as a king, which was for Cai Linghou.

It can be seen from this that the monarch who is called "Ling" is generally not a good thing.

In 531 BC, King Chu Ling lured Cai Linghou to Shendi under the pretext that Cai Linghou had killed his father, ambushed the armor soldiers in advance, and entertained Cai Linghou with a banquet.

Cai Linghou was killed by the Chu people when he was drunk, and seventy soldiers who followed Cai Linghou were also tortured.

King Chu Ling ordered the prince of Chu to abandon his illness and surround Cai Guo. In November, Chu destroyed the state of Cai and appointed him as the Duke of Cai.

Small kiosk

Three years after Chu destroyed Cai, the prince of Chu gave up his illness and killed King Chu Ling and became the king in his place, that is, the father of King Chu Ping and now King Xiong Zhen of Chu.

King Ping found Cai Jinghou's youngest son Lu and established him as the monarch of Cai Guoguo, which is Cai Pinghou.

But Cai's turmoil has not stopped.

After the death of Cai Pinghou, Cai Linghou's grandson Dongguo defeated the son of Pinghou and established himself as the monarch, which is Cai Mourning Hou.

And Cai Mourninghou's father is a friend of Prince Yin. Youben was the prince of Cai Linghou, and after Cai Pinghou succeeded to the throne, he killed the hidden prince You. Therefore, as soon as Cai Pinghou died, Dongguo, the son of Prince Yin, attacked Pinghou's son and established himself as the king!

Cai Hou Shen is the younger brother of Cai Mianhou.

Therefore, after this back and forth, Cai Guo's national strength has long been much worse than before, and it has become a weak country like Xu Guo and Zhong Wuguo.
