Chapter 378: Boiled Frog in Warm Water
For fame and fortune, Ji Za is really very indifferent.
Father's dream of longevity wants to be established, and he resigns.
Brother Zhufan wanted to let him go, but he resigned.
Zhu Fan died, and his second brother Yu was sacrificed. Yu sacrificed to death, and his third brother was erected.
If you die, you will be granted the country and avoid it!
Ji Za gave up the country three times!
He had three chances to reign over the kingdom of Wu, but he didn't accept it!
Ji Za's virtue touched the people of Wu State, and they were like the stars and the moon, bent on supporting Ji Za as the king.
As a last resort, Ji Za retired between the mountains and rivers, and worked hard all day to show his firm will, which completely dispelled this idea of the Wu people.
Qingji doesn't want to force a person like Ji Za with the legacy of the ancient sages to the point where he hangs his seal!
"Uncle, you have assisted the widow for nine years, the ox ear of the Wu country for nine years, and the elder of the six dynasties of the Wu country."
Qingji said: "Wu Guo can be as strong as it is today, and it is inseparable from the great help of his uncle!" ”
"King, this is what the old minister should do, and it is incumbent on him."
Ji Za immediately said.
"Uncle, having said that, however, meritorious service must be rewarded. My uncle has made a contribution to my Wu Guosheji, and now I want to go into hiding, and the widow should reward my uncle. ”
After a pause, Qingji pondered for a moment before saying, "Ji Za listens to the seal!" ”
"The old minister is here!"
Ji Za immediately knelt down solemnly.
"From now on, the widow will be the king of the state, and the fief will be in the state, and the hereditary will be replaced. And he gave three thousand (two) gold, five hundred silks, a pair of jade, and ten good horses! ”
Hearing this, Ji Za immediately grabbed the ground with his head!
"The king is so rewarded, please forgive the old minister for not accepting it!"
Ji Za sighed and said: "How can the old minister dare to use the state as a fief, and be so generously rewarded by the king, and hereditary recklessly? ”
"Please take back the king's order, don't be ashamed of the old minister!"
The state came from the state, which was originally the fief of Jiza.
As the son of King Shoumeng of Wu, Ji Za has assisted six generations of King Wu, and at first he used Yanling as a fief, so he was called "Yanling Jizi", but it was later renamed as a state.
Zhoulai is located in the north of Bagong Mountain, east of the Huai River, originally there was an ancient historical country called Zhoulai, because of its weakness, it was swallowed by Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and became the state of Chu.
Because the yi is located in the north of the Huai River, it is the border of Chu and faces the state of Wu, so it has become the outpost of the dispute between Wu and Chu.
In 529 BC, Zhoulaiyi was occupied by the state of Wu, and six years later the state of Chu recovered the lost territory.
Only four years later, it was taken away by the state of Wu, thus becoming the fief of Jiza.
The population of the state is also quite large, about 3,000 households, 13,000 people, which can be regarded as a high-class city!
This is because of the popularity of Jiza, which attracted so many Li Shu to settle in the state.
It's just that after Qingji succeeded to the throne, considering that the local ministers of the old clan were too powerful, and they thought that the feudal monarchy was no longer appropriate, they replaced the fiefdom with Shiyi.
Ji Za's state to fief has also been converted into a fief, and even Ji Za is willing to set an example, leading a thousand households of food and eup, and the original fief is not needed at all!
It is precisely with Ji Zha's unsparing help that Qingji can appear very smooth in the process of reforming the feudal monarchy.
"Uncle!"
Qingji walked down the majestic platform, came to Ji Zha's side, held his arm, and said with true feelings: "Uncle, your merits, all the ministers of my Wu Kingdom, there is no one who can compare." ”
"Even, in the eyes of the widows, the merits of the uncle and the contribution to the Wu State are far above the widows!"
"To use a small state as a fief, or bury the uncle, if possible, the widow is willing to give up the throne, please uncle and ancestor to live!"
"King!"
Ji Za broke through the defense in an instant, and said silently: "Don't have this thought." The old minister is blessed, and he can't be in a high position! ”
"Those who wish the old minister, only want a place to live and live, and after this remnant life, they really dare not get such a heavy reward from the king. Please take back your destiny! ”
Ji Za is an "honest man" and will definitely not deceive Qingji.
Qingji said that he might abdicate and make way for Xian, which was naturally a prevarication.
Ji Zaqing is high, amazing, for the high position of King Wu and so on, Qingji can't do it!
Qingji does not have a high wind and bright festival like Ji Za!
"Uncle, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your children and grandchildren."
Qingji said meaningfully: "Whoever is a celebrity is all for the sake of fame and fame, and he will be crowned with a wife and a son." Now that my uncle is about to retire, why not think about my children and grandchildren? ”
Could it be that Ji Za really doesn't want to leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren?
is the so-called learning of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.
For example, Sun Wu, Wen Chong, Fan Li and others, who have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, why did they defect to Qingji's command and serve the Wu State?
It's just to gain fame and fortune and to seek well-being for future generations.
At the same time, they can show off their talents.
No one can really have no desires, but there are really very few people who are as indifferent to fame and fortune as Ji Za.
Ji Za is not famous, and the second is not for profit, so why bother?
"King, although there are many feudal kings in my Wu Kingdom, they are all food estates, and those who have few fiefs are only temporary."
"The state has a very large fiefdom. Moreover, the old minister really didn't dare to have the idea of hereditary replacement, so he asked the king to take back his fate, don't torture the old minister! ”
Ji Za pleaded again and again, asking Qingji to take back his fate.
He would have such thoughts, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Because at this time, the state of Wu was indeed full of feudal kings, but basically they all had food and eup.
Even the fiefs of the old ministers of the Wu State have been changed to food and eup, and they are not really hereditary and share weal and woe with the country.
The gentleman's Ze, the fifth and beheaded!
Wu has made the latest elaboration on the latest feudal system.
If it is a feudal king's food eup, after five generations, it is still the kind of inaction, and the food euphore will be taken back by the state!
Qingji forced the old ministers of the Wu State to make changes!
In the state of Wu, there were also feudal lords who had fiefs instead of euphemism, such as the leaders or monarchs of some Baiyue tribes, such as the six counties of Lingnan.
However, this is only temporary, once Wu State's control over the six counties of Lingnan is strengthened, presumably Qingji will gradually weaken the power and status in their hands, making Wu State's feudal monarch exactly the same, or even completely deprived.
Boiled frogs in warm water!
After being the Dazai of Wu State for so many years, and Qingji's uncle, how could Ji Za not understand Qingji's mind?
Qingji reigned for six years, and never divided any feudal monarch, even if he made a contribution to the sky, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others, who had the merit of destroying the country for the Wu State, were only rewarded and given a large number of food estates.
Fief?
Don't even think about it!
Therefore, compared to the kings of the nations, Qingji seems to be a little mean.
