Chapter 355: Bai Gongsheng's Rebellion

From a legal point of view, Xiong Sheng is also qualified to inherit the throne of the king of Chu.

After all, Xiong Sheng's father, Prince Jian, was once the prince of Chu State, and his roots were red.

Of course, the current King of Chu, Xiong Zhen, is Gongzi Sheng's uncle, so after a generation, Xiong Sheng's inheritance is basically gone.

However, this does not prevent Qingji from making a big fuss about it.

Because the people of Chu took pity on Prince Jian and thought that he should not suffer such a bad luck, he could even win with Gongzi to get some people in the Chu State.

If Qingji is behind the scenes, if he supports Xiong Sheng, then everything will not be a problem!

In the original history, Gongzi Sheng can be described as a model of revenge.

A few years later, King Chu Hui, the son of King Zhao of Chu, ascended the throne, and King Hui of Chu looked back on the past, and he knew that the state of Chu owed a debt to a person, and the creditor was Gongzi Sheng.

If there were no historical mistakes, it would be natural for Prince Jian to be the king of Chu, and it was also natural for Prince Jian's son Xiong Sheng to take over as the king of Chu.

King Chu Hui, who was condemned by his conscience, decided to welcome Xiong Sheng, who had lived in Wu for a long time, back to his hometown.

In this regard, Ye Gong, a famous minister of the Chu State, that is, Shen Zhuliang, strongly objected.

His reason is that Shengren is brave and ruthless, has a sick mentality, and has raised many dead soldiers in private, and it may be ominous for him to return to China.

However, King Hui was unmoved, solemnly recalled Xiong Sheng, and granted Yan Di to Xiong Sheng, who had just returned to China, and sealed the Chaoyi doctor, who was called "Bai Gong" from then on.

Bai Gongsheng is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, the pain of exile, the bitterness under the fence, and the throne that can no longer belong to him...... It all stimulated him to sleep and eat restlessly.

However, for life and history, Bai Gongsheng did not complain and anger more, and after thinking about it, his anger was only concentrated in one direction - Zheng Guo.

The people of that country killed his father, and his father was the crown prince.

He felt that all his suffering was related to Zheng Guoren and to the killing of his father.

His father's death is the biggest shadow in his heart, and it is a nightmare that he can't get rid of for a long time.

After coming back, Bai Gongsheng waited for five years, and finally put forward a request to kill Zheng, so that Yin Zixi generously agreed, Bai Gongsheng was strong, and waited for the day, dreaming of calming Zheng Guo with a drum and avenging the murder of his father.

But history is such a coincidence, Bai Gongsheng's army has not yet left the country, but the Jin State has taken the lead in Zheng.

Zheng Guo, who was threatened by the military of other countries, immediately asked for help from Chu State, and in order to prevent his lips from dying and his teeth were cold, Chu State had to come to the rescue.

In the face of the big issue of life and death, Bai Gongsheng's family hatred seems insignificant.

Zixi took on the mission to help Zheng Guo.

The help of the state of Chu caused the army of the state of Jin to return with a feather.

That battle ushered in a new stage of diplomatic relations between Chu and Zheng, and Zixi returned triumphantly after signing a peace treaty in which Chu and Zheng were friendly for generations and would never fight again.

This incident of the Jin Kingdom directly wiped out Bai Gongsheng's revenge plan, and Bai Gongsheng was so angry that he smoked!

But what made Bai Gongsheng even more angry was the armistice agreement signed between Zixi and Zheng Guo.

With this covenant, Bai Gongsheng's revenge has no legitimacy, and his great plan can only be a flash in the pan!

Bai Gongsheng suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and suddenly scolded non-stop, and his final conclusion was: My hatred has nothing to do with Zheng Guo, and Zixi Lao'er has officially become my enemy!

Bai Gongsheng's ability to return to Chu was actually the result of Zixi's repeated insistence.

However, at this time, Zixi was replaced by Bai Gongsheng as an enemy.

Bai Gongsheng didn't do anything, sharpened his knife every day, and without the slightest concealment, he publicly threatened to kill Zixi of the dog day.

Zixi didn't care, and often smiled contemptuously at Bai Gongsheng: You are still far from playing with Lao Tzu!

However, the final result was that Bai Gongsheng succeeded!

In 479 BC, after Bai Gongsheng defeated the Wu army, in the name of offering war spoils, he took the opportunity to launch a rebellion, killed Zixi and Ziqi, imprisoned the king of Chu Hui, and established himself as the king of Chu.

Soon Ye Gong led the army to King Qin, and the people in Chu jointly attacked Bai Gongsheng.

Bai Gongsheng was defeated and hanged himself, and King Chu Hui was restored to the throne.

This is the famous "White Gongsheng Rebellion" in history.

Therefore, Qingji values not only Gongzisheng's life background, but also his capricious character.

This kind of two or five boys are not at ease when placed by their side, but if they are placed inside the enemy, the effect is different!

"Sheng Gongzi, if the widow helps you return to Chu, or you can regain your father's lost position as the king of Chu, I wonder how Gongzi will repay the widow? How to repay Wu Guo? ”

Here's the big thing!

Hearing this, Xiong Sheng's face flushed unconsciously, and he was uncontrollably excited.

He hurriedly stood up, knelt down towards Qingji and said, "King, if the king helps his ministers to return to Chu, he will even win the throne of Chu and set things right." ”

"Minister, I wish to respect the king as the master, and the state of Chu will take the state of Wu as the suzerainty for generations, pay tribute every year, and enter the court every year!"

Childe Sheng's words fell for a while.

It's like writing a blank check!

Is it credible?

Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, what Qingji wants is an attitude of Gongzi Sheng, that's all.

There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, this is false!

Because throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the battles fought between the nations were nominal wars.

Every country has the tradition of destroying the country and worshipping the country.

Even, hegemons such as Jin and Qi often send troops to help some small countries uphold justice.

For example, after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the "Rebellion of the Five Princes" occurred in Qi State, and the famous benevolent and righteous overlord Song Xianggong convened a princes' alliance non-stop to support Qi Xiaogong, and Song Xianggong became famous.

For another example, when Qingji was in trouble, he fled to Weiguo, and it was the Central Plains countries such as Jin, Qi, Wei, Lu, and Song who funded him, so that he was able to recruit troops and buy horses, counterattack Helu, and regain the throne he deserved.

Now, Qingji can naturally support Gongzi to win the throne.

It's just that if you really send troops to attack Chu, it's not cost-effective, and it may backfire!

"Good!"

Qingji bowed his head slightly and said: "Shenggongzi, if you get the throne, the widow does not need to be called a minister of Chu State." What the widow expects is that the two countries of Wu and Chu live in harmony, and there will be no more soldiers! ”

"The king is benevolent, and the surrender is also admired."

Xiong Sheng said with great admiration.

As everyone knows, he is very disdainful of Qingji's sanctimonious statement in his heart.

If Gongzi Sheng can really become the king of Chu one day, reign over the Chu State, and be greedy with Qingji, how can he try his best to tear off a large piece of meat from the Chu State?

"I wonder how the king plans to help his ministers regain the throne?"

Childe Sheng said with an expectant look on his face.

"The widow originally planned to send troops directly. However, Sheng Gongzi must know in his heart that Wu and Chu have a feud, and if Wu sends troops, Chu will definitely be unanimous with the outside world, which will only backfire at that time, causing the Chu people to be disgusted with Sheng Gongzi. ”
