People's hearts are unpredictable!

For generals who lead troops outside, Qingji generally grants great power.

It's just that this time Wu Zixu has too much power in his hands.

may have threatened Qingji's royal power and infringed on the interests of the Wu Kingdom!

The reason why Qingji doesn't remotely control the generals who lead the troops outside is because he knows that this kind of thing is too harmful, so every time there is a big battle, Qingji will personally go into battle.

This can ensure that whether it is Sun Wu or Wu Zixu, it will not be a high achievement.

It can also ensure that Qingji's prestige in the army remains high.

However, Qingji still didn't believe that Wu Zixu would betray him, because his wife and children all lived in Jinling City, and they were right under Qingji's nose.

Although Qingji is suspicious by nature and now has suspicions about Wu Zixu, he can't rashly kill Wu Zixu.

"Bo Woo."

"The minister is here!"

"You immediately go to the Jin Kingdom and negotiate with the Jin people......"

Qingji pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Be sure to tell the Marquis of Jin and Liuqing, just say that my Wu State intends to carve up Zheng Land with the Jin State." ”

"Melon...... Divide Zheng Land? ”

Bo was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "King, didn't you promote the armistice between Wu and Jin?" ”

Qingji shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this, and the truce is not in the actual interests of our Wu country. The blood of the soldiers cannot be shed in vain! ”

"If the Jin people don't agree, I, the Wu State, can only take a step back, and the army will withdraw from the territory of the Zheng State. But how could the Jin people give up this low-hanging city land? ”

"The king is wise!"

Sun Wu, Wen Chong, Ji Ran and other ministers couldn't help but praise.

Jin Guo will not sit idly by and watch Zheng Guo be destroyed, on the one hand, Zheng Guo is the younger brother of Jin Guo, which is unreasonable.

On the one hand, it was because the Jin State could not watch the Zheng State be annexed by the Wu army, so that the power of the Wu State could further expand and get involved in the Central Plains.

You must know that Zheng Guo is located in the Central Plains, and the geographical location is very crucial.

If Zheng State is defeated, it can be used as a bridgehead for Wu to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains and Jin for hegemony in the world.

The Jin State definitely did not want to see the Wu State become bigger.

In fact, Qingji didn't want the territory of Wu to border with Jin so early, which might bury some hidden dangers in the future Wu-Jin war......

Things have come to this point, though.

Qingji will definitely not be willing to spit out all the territory in his hands.

And to protect his own interests, Qingji can only form a gang and bring Jin people to Zheng Guo to get a piece of the pie.

As for Zheng Ren's feelings......

How can a weak country have diplomacy?

What Wu Guo has to think about now is to wipe his ass for what Wu Zixu has done, and at the same time seek benefits for Wu Guo to the greatest extent.

"In addition, the widow plans to meet with the Marquis of Jin in Luoyi, and if the Jin people are willing to divide the Zheng State together, they can also facilitate this matter."

"No!"

Bo Yan immediately agreed.

"The king, Wu Zixu's side, I don't know what the king is going to do?"

Sun Wu asked suspiciously.

Wu Zixu ...... Second and third sons, do you think Wu Zixu may have betrayed the widow? ”

"No, it won't."

Sun Wu said conclusively: "The king, the minister, is willing to vouch for Wu Zixu." vouch for him with his life! ”

"Shhh

Hearing this, Qingji was still expressionless, but Fan Li, Ji Ran, Bo Yu, and Kong Qiu, who were sitting on the side, couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, have they already formed such a deep friendship?

Wu Zixu's actions are already tantamount to rebellion, but Sun Wu can still use his net worth and life to vouch for him!

Sun Wu is not afraid of losing his head?

Not afraid of being beheaded all over the house?

Fear!

However, Sun Wu still dared to vouch for Wu Zixu.

Because Sun Wu knew very well that the crisis of trust between the monarch and the minister could lead to a series of bad chain reactions.

This is undoubtedly fatal for the newly rising state of Wu.

Changing generals in battle has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times.

Sun Wu knew that Wu Zixu was loyal to Qingji.

If Qingji sent Wu Zixu a sword, Wu Zixu would not hesitate to draw his sword and kill himself.

If Qingji sent Wu Zixu a bottle of poisoned wine, Wu Zixu would not hesitate to drink it.

However, who can guarantee what will happen?

Mutual suspicion between monarchs and ministers is a taboo in itself.

Wu Zixu is a person who is both civil and military, but his political acumen is very average (political acumen is not equal to political talent).

He is not as good at self-preservation as Sun Wu, nor is he as tactful as Bo Yan.

Wu Zixu is a relatively upright person, in short, he is brainless.

People like Wu Zixu, in Qingji's view, are like Bai Qi and Han Xin.

If it weren't for the encounter with an enlightened monarch like Qingji, and on the occasion of employing people, Wu Zixu might have been given to death.

"Let Wu Zixu do his best to lay down Xinzheng City and increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations."

After thinking about it secretly, Qingji finally said slowly: "Da Sima, you go, go and tell Wu Zixu, and bring him the widow's handwritten letter." ”

"Claiming to the outside world that Wu Zixu was ordered by the widow, not by making his own claims."

"No!"

When Sun Wu, Fan Li and others heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qingji's move is obviously protecting Wu Zixu.

The reason why it is claimed to the public that Wu Zixu was ordered by Qingji to send troops to attack Zheng is to make things reserved.

In this way, Wu Zixu's attack on Zheng is logical, and he is not disobeying the king's orders.

It can not only ensure that Qingji's royal power is not provoked, but also give Wu Zixu a step down.

It's a win-win.

……

The next day, on the temple of Fengtian.

Qingji wore a crown dress with dark red stripes, a flat crown on his head, and sat on his own throne.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Shen Baoxu, as a guest secretary, was the first to stand up with a tooth wat in his hand.

"The king, the minister has something to do!"

"Please."

"The minister wants to impeach the members of the Imperial Doctor!"

Shen Baoxu's words caused an uproar in an instant.

You must know that Shen Baoxu's identity is very sensitive.

He turned out to be the doctor of Chu State, but he lived in Wu State as a guest, and was respected as a guest secretary by Qingji, but in fact, Shen Baoxu had a dual identity.

He is both a courtier of the State of Wu and a courtier of the State of Chu, which is equivalent to a person with dual nationality.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that how could a loyal minister of Chu State, like Shen Baoxu, really defect to Wu State?

Without waiting for the ministers to speak, Shen Baoxu said loudly: "King, the soldiers disobeyed the king's order and sent troops to Zheng Guo without authorization, which is really a big rebellion!" ”

"Please ask the king to recall Wu Zixu back to Jinling and dismiss him for investigation!"

“……”

Shen Baoxu's words were like a depth charge, thrown into the crowd, which instantly made the ministers and doctors of Wu State can't help but turn their heads and whisper.

Their brains were buzzing at this point.

disobeyed the king's order and sent troops without authorization, which was enough to celebrate the execution of Wu Zixu.

The magnitude of the problem is significant.

What will Qingji do?
