Chapter 505: A Crisis of Trust in Monarchs and Ministers
Wu Zixu conspired against him?
He didn't dare, wouldn't, and didn't want to.
Qingji is a very possessive monarch.
Suspicious by nature.
Like the emperors such as Yingzheng, Cao Cao, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Qingji is a little stubborn and self-serving, and secretly suspicious of his subordinates.
Rao is like this, Qingji is also suspicious, and there is no doubt about employing people.
He trusted Wu Zixu, so he would leave Wu Zixu in Jing State as Ling Yin and manage Jing State's military and political affairs.
Wu Zixu wanted to rebel and build a country by himself, but it was actually easy and not very difficult.
Because Qingji stayed in Jing State, Tian Sui Tho, who was specifically responsible for containing Wu Zixu, could not play its due role at all.
This time, Wu Zixu made his own initiative and sent troops to attack Zheng, and even fought all the way to Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng State, which was unexpected.
It's disobeying the king's command!
According to Bo Yu, Wu Zixu's behavior is already equivalent to rebellion.
A crisis of confidence between monarchs and ministers has arisen!
Even if Qingji trusts Wu Zixu again, now he has to wonder if Wu Zixu has the intention of rebellion.
Sometimes, even if Wu Zixu's heart is towards Wu Guo and his heart is towards Qingji, it is inevitable that there will be traitors and villains who will obstruct him and force Wu Zixu to rebel against Wu Zili.
The cause of all this was caused by Zheng Guo's army to attack Jing State.
The strength of the Zheng army was not good, and it was defeated by Wu Zixu and Tian Sui Tho, and the main army was almost completely annihilated.
Wu Zixu seized the favorable opportunity and went north in one fell swoop, wanting to smash Xinzheng, and even force Zheng Guo to pay tribute.
There is nothing wrong with that.
After all, there will be no disapproval of the king's order outside.
But it is precisely this point that Qingji is a little difficult to accept.
Because Qingji has always held the military power of Wu firmly in his hands.
Without the Tiger Talisman and the edict of Qingji, no one was allowed to mobilize a single soldier of the Wu State.
Wu Zixu was leading the troops outside, so he was not restrained by Qingji.
Fan Li said worriedly: "King, it is still uncertain whether Wu Zixu has the intention of rebellion. However, it is necessary to guard against it. ”
"The minister thinks that the king should take precautions, make Wu Zixu withdraw to Jingguo, give up the attack on Zheng Guoxin Zhengcheng, and then order someone to escort Wu Zixu back and dismiss him for investigation."
"Exactly!"
Dazai Jiran also said: "King, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. ”
"The heart is separated from the belly! Wu Zixu now disobeys the king's order and leads his troops to attack Xinzheng, which has the potential to destroy Zheng, and the Jin State will definitely not sit idly by. ”
"If the Jin army sends troops, the situation will definitely deteriorate further! Please King Mingjian! ”
Hearing this, Qingji just frowned and didn't speak.
He was already aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Not to mention whether Wu Zixu will rebel and rebel against Wu Zili, Wu Zixu led the army to attack Xinzheng City, which is not conducive to Wu.
When the Zheng army attacked Jingguo, the reason why Qingji let Wu Zixu and Tian Sui Tho stick to the Jingguo mainland and did not have to attack rashly was to curb the further deterioration of the war situation.
It stands to reason that Wu Zixu and Tian Sui Tho won the battle and opened up territory for Wu, and Qingji should be happy.
However, this is not in line with Qingji's plan for Wu in the next few years.
Qingji is now seeking the peaceful development of the Wu State, rather than a big war at every turn, especially a war with the old overlord Jin State, which is not a wise move.
At this point, Wu Zixu obviously lacks a sense of the overall situation.
Zheng Guo is now the younger brother of Jin Guo, Wu Jun bullied Zheng Ren, how can Jin Guo sit idly by?
In the battle with the Jin army, Qingji was not ready.
Once defeated, it is fine, but if it is defeated, the chain reaction to Wu will be extremely bad.
Maybe in the end, even the Jingdi that has not been in hand for a long time, Wu Guo will not be able to keep it!
This series of things made Qingji feel a headache.
The Jin people are so naked and provocative, can't Wu Zixu see it?
If Wu Zixu could see that he still wanted to do it, this would obviously be contempt for Qingji.
This made Qingji have to suspect that Wu Zixu had a heart of disobedience.
"The king, the minister suggests that the king immediately send a messenger to act as a supervisor, order Wu Zixu to withdraw the soldiers and horses to Jingguo, and then escort Wu Zixu back to Jinling for interrogation, dismissal and investigation!"
Bo Yu said: "In order to prevent Wu Zixu from really rebelling, please send another army to Jingdi in case of accidents." ”
"Bo Yu, are you willing to serve as a messenger to convey the widow's order to Wu Zixu?"
Qingji glanced at Bo Ji meaningfully.
Hearing this, Bo Yan smiled awkwardly: "The king, the minister is willing to die for the king!" ”
"However, please be fully prepared!"
Bo is not a fool, so he naturally knows that this trip is full of dangers.
If Wu Zixu really has a rebellious heart, Bo Xu is afraid that he will not return this time.
Wu Zixu attacked Zheng, and most of the soldiers and horses led by him were recruited from Jingdi, and the real Wu soldiers only occupied a part.
At this time, Sun Wu bowed towards Qingji and said, "King, please believe in Wu Zixu's character." ”
"Wu Zixu has a jealous personality and hatred, and he may not have much sense of belonging to Wu Guo, but it is absolutely impossible for Wu Zixu to turn his back on the king!"
"Wu Zixu attacked Zheng this time, probably because he was eager for quick success, and he didn't have the intention of disobeying the king's edict."
When Qing Ji heard this, he just shook his head and said: "No matter what reason Wu Zixu has for attacking Zheng, it is a fact that he disobeys orders. ”
"My Wu country has no merits and demerits, and there is no saying that I can't punish the doctor......"
Qingji will not forgive Wu Zixu for this behavior.
blatantly disobeyed Qingji's royal order, even if Wu Zixu was out of good intentions and did bad things with good intentions, Qingji must not be tolerated.
This is the bottom line of Qingji, and it cannot be challenged!
If Qingji not only did not punish Wu Zixu this time, but also did not blame him in the past, the world might praise Qingji for being virtuous and tolerant.
However, from another point of view, Qingji is "easy to bully", if everyone learns from Wu Zixu, one will be disadvantaged by the life of the monarch outside.
Qingji's majesty as the king of a country will not be trampled on again and again?
The royal power is not to be challenged!
However, Qingji treats Wu Zixu well, and he must control it well.
There is a degree of relaxation.
It is undeniable that Wu Zixu is both civil and military, and is a rare good general, and he has made great achievements for Wu Guoguo in order to celebrate his birth and death.
Wu Zixu has a lot of credit, but this is definitely not a reason why he can disrespect the king's order and send troops without authorization.
Just like Li Yunlong, he is a good hand at fighting, but there are also many troubles.
Wu Zixu saw that there was an opportunity, so he led his troops to attack Zheng Guo on a large scale, for fear of delaying the favorable fighter plane, which was desirable.
What is the general outside the king's order to be unaffected?
Because the general led the troops to fight, the fighters were often fleeting, and the king's indiscriminate command could not be tolerated.
Just like the battle of Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history, in fact, the strategy and tactics are not bad, but Yang Guang's desire to control is too strong.
For the generals fighting on the front line, Yang Guang also had to command remotely, which finally led to the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo.
Doesn't Yang Guang know soldiers?
No, Yang Guang once led a large army south to destroy the Chen Dynasty, and also led troops to fight, but he just sat in the rear and controlled the army remotely, who dares to guarantee that nothing will go wrong?
