"Wu Hou has a heart."

Ji Kuo thought about it secretly, and then asked curiously: "Wu Hou, if the widow is not mistaken, you should be the twenty-second grandson of Wu Taibo, right?" ”

"Exactly!"

Qingji chuckled lightly and replied: "Son of Heaven, the minister is the twenty-second grandson of Wu Taibo, the son of Wu Zifeng!" ”

"Wu Hou, the widow is still related to you."

Ji Kuo had a smile on his face, and said slowly: "When the great-grandfather of the widow in the past, King Zhou Jian, was alive, your ancestor Wu Zishoumeng, also came to Luoyi to congratulate. ”

"Come to think of it, it's been more than 80 years now!"

“……”

Ji Kuo really plans to catch up with Qingji.

Shou Meng, speaking of which, is Qingji's great-grandfather, the first person to claim the title of king in Wu State.

Shou Mengnai is the nineteenth grandson of Wu Hou Taibo and the son of Wu Hou Quqi.

Because Wu is a country leading barbarians, located in the southeast corner, although it is of the same origin as the Zhou royal family, it is not recognized, so it is only a viscount country.

"Hou", that is the title of the monarch after his death, that is, the nickname.

Just like Qin and Zheng, the titles of Qin and Zheng are both "Bo", but the title of their monarch after his death will be added with a "Gong".

Such as Qin Mugong, Zheng Zhuang Gong and so on.

Qingji is the great-grandson of Shoumeng, so he is the twenty-second grandson of Wu Taibo.

Qingji traces back to the top, he is the son of Wu Wangyi and the grandson of Wu Wang Yu Yi.

In the past, in the first year of King Shoumeng of Wu, that is, in 585 BC, Shoumeng personally went to Luoyi to meet King Jian of Zhou, who had just ascended the throne, and visited many countries along the way.

This was the first time that Wu had met Zhou Tianzi since the founding of the country, and it was also the first time that he sent an envoy to the Central Plains.

Wu and Zhou are in the same vein, Shou Meng recognized his ancestors in Luoyi and returned to his ancestors, and King Zhou Jian was overjoyed and gave him special courtesy.

Speaking of which, Wu has a good relationship with the Zhou royal family.

Qingji is like the Marquis of Jin and Uncle Zheng, although he can't look down on the poor relative of Zhou Tianzi, but it doesn't hurt to reminisce about the old days and climb friendships.

And Zhou Tianzi took the initiative to talk, presumably to win over Qingji.

For Zhou Tianzi Ji Kuo's thoughts, Qingji can basically guess it.

The Zhou royal family is already so weak and poor, if Ji Kuo doesn't give up an old face at this time and asks Qingji for some money, it is really unusual.

"Son of Heaven, the minister is very ashamed!"

Qingji pretended to be ashamed and embarrassed, and sighed: "Since I have dreamed of the longevity of the first monarch of Wu State, the Wu people no longer make Zhou, it is really that Wu Land is far away from Luoyi, thousands of miles, and there are many countries of princes!" ”

"The minister entered Luoyi this time to worship the Son of Heaven, just to talk about the old ancestors!"

"The minister came suddenly, and he never prepared enough gifts for the court."

"However, the minister has ordered people to make proper preparations, and they should be dedicated to the Son of Heaven for ten chariots, corn for thousands of stones, gold for one hundred horses, cloth for one hundred horses, and silk for ten horses!"

"Please smile at the Son of Heaven!"

Hearing this, Ji Kuo's eyes couldn't help but shine, and then he stood up tremblingly, breathing quite quickly and said, "Okay...... Good! ”

"Marquis Wu, you are really the most courteous and heartfelt among the princes in the world!"

"Widow...... The widow really doesn't know how to repay you......"

Before the words fell, Ji Kuo couldn't help choking for a while, unable to speak, just standing on the top of the majestic platform and wiping his tears vigorously, tears flowed down his face.

“……”

Zhou Tianzi is so out of shape?

This made Qingji surprised again, and pitiful Ji Kuo.

It is also embarrassing that a Zhou Tianzi, the dignified co-master of the world, has fallen to such a point today.

Of course, Qingji knew that he wanted to offer some gifts to Zhou Tianzi.

However, he did not prepare before.

This time it was just a "blank check" for Ji Kuo.

But Qingji will indeed cash this "check".

There is no need for him to deceive Ji Kuo like this and insult Ji Kuo.

With the current strength and wealth of Wu State, this little wealth is only a drop in the bucket.

However, for Ji Kuo, who can be called a broken household, it is already extremely rare.

Ji Kuo, as Zhou Tianzi, has a hard time, and he has long since lost the food and clothing he deserves.

Sometimes, Ji Kuo even had to give up his old face and ask the neighboring princes or doctors for some belongings to get by......

As for the congratulatory gifts offered by the princes at the meeting?

Don't even think about it!

Like Jin Guo and Zheng Guo, if you don't cut the grain outside Luoyi, even if you are filial to Zhou Tianzi.

Even if it is a real gift, it is definitely not as generous as Qingji!

Not to mention anything else, the one hundred eridium gold is converted into two thousand taels of gold!

Ji Kuo couldn't imagine that he had never seen so much gold in his life!

And these belongings that Qingji gave to Ji Kuo will be taken out of Zheng Guo's treasury without exception.

Because Zheng Guo's capital Xinzheng had been conquered by Wu Zixu's army, Zheng Bo fled in panic, and the property in the palace and the treasury was naturally sealed by Wu Zixu and was fully accepted by Wu Guozhao......

Qingji is just being generous to others!

However, Qingji gave Ji Kuo so many belongings, of course, it was impossible to give them in vain.

"Son of Heaven, this time the three kingdoms of Wu, Jin, and Zheng entered into an alliance in Luoyi, and the Son of Heaven mediated from it."

"The minister hopes that the Son of Heaven can uphold justice and not take sides!"

Qingji said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

Not taking sides?

I'm afraid that what Qingji wants is that Zhou Tianzi Ji Kuo is on the side of Wu Guo.

You must know that the territory of Wu is too far away from Luoyi to reach it.

Zheng Guo and Jin Guo are different, these two countries are on the edge of Luoyi, eyeing each other.

This time, Ji Kuo originally planned to favor the side of Jin Guo and Zheng Guo.

Because Ji Kuo was afraid that Jin and Zheng would not be satisfied, and then found himself to settle accounts with the queen of autumn.

It's just that Qingji gave so much money to Ji Kuo at the beginning.

This......

As the saying goes, the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft.

If Ji Kuo doesn't care about Qingji's attitude, how can it be?

Qingji's so-called "congratulatory gift", and the bribes of Ji Kuo's property have not arrived......

This really put Ji Kuo in a dilemma for a while.

"The Son of Heaven is worried about Zheng Guo and Jin Guo?"

Qingji is asking knowingly.

Ji Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "Marquis Wu, it's really not a secret, as you can see, this week's room is declining, the princes are strife, and Zheng and Jin are mean to the widows. ”

"The widow has to worry about whether the widow will find trouble with the royal family in the future, if the widow is impartial as Wu Hou said, will Zheng Guo or Jin Guo find trouble with the royal family in the future......"

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly, and immediately saluted Ji Kuozuo on the majestic platform: "Don't worry, Son of Heaven!" ”

"If the Son of Heaven is willing, the minister ...... Wu was willing to send troops to garrison the land of Wangji to defend the Son of Heaven and the safety of the Zhou royal family. ”

"And the state of Wu can pay tribute to the Son of Heaven every year, with a total value of no less than a thousand gold!"

"Shhh

When Ji Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

"Really?"

"Absolutely."
