Chapter 581: The courtiers are in charge of the country

In fact, the current state of Wu has not yet formed a complete set of official selection system, and the probation system is only a prototype.

Because Qingji plans to use his talents, he obviously can't do it by himself.

The imperial examination system is advanced, but it is too advanced and out of date, so what Qingji values is the probation system.

With the acquiescence of Qingji, all ministers of Wu Guo, with an official rank of 2,000 stones, are qualified to recommend meritocracy for the country.

"The king, I don't know if the king has heard of the Yanghu Rebellion that happened in the Lu country?"

Bo Yan asked with his head down.

"The Yanghu Rebellion? The widow has heard of it. ”

Qingji chuckled and said: "It is said that this person imprisoned Ji Sunsi, the head of the Ji Sun clan, as a retainer, and held great power, and even went one step further a few years ago to become the leader of the political arena of the Lu State, controlling the three Huan ...... of the Lu State."

"It's a pity that the villain has a temporary ambition, but after all, it can't last long."

"I heard that two years ago, Yang Hu fled from Lu to Qi because of the failure of the coup. What's the matter, Yang Hu sent someone to contact you? ”

Seeing Qingji's somewhat mocking gaze, Bo Ji couldn't help but smile wryly.

Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Qingji!

Yang Hu sent someone to contact Bo Biao, and naturally paid a lot of money, as well as some rare treasures to bribe Bo Biao.

Otherwise, with Yang Hu's current reputation, where would ordinary people dare to take him in?

Even if Yang Hu enters Wu, in the face of the talented Wu State, there may not be a place for Yang Hu, let alone be entrusted with a heavy task by Qingji!

"King, it's not a secret, Yang Hu has fled from Linzi to Wu State, he is wanted by the Qi people, he is desperate, and now he is living in an inn in Jinling City......"

Bo Yan replied honestly: "I heard that the king Shicai issued a merit-seeking order, Yang Hu originally wanted to enter my Wu Kingdom court through the Zhaoxian Pavilion. ”

"I never thought that I would be beaten back by Kong Qiu's disciples, Zilu and others, so I took the path of a minister, hoping to meet the king and show my strengths in the country of Wu."

Hearing this, Qingji narrowed his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Qingji waved his hand and said, "The widow knows." ”

"Bo Hao, you have a very heavy task for Jin, you must arrive at the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible and negotiate with Liuqing about the alliance of soldiers."

"No!"

Bo Yu, who was about to leave, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and bowed to Qingji and said: "The king, Yang Hu is a person who has a very deep scheming heart, although he does not lose his talent, but his personal virtue is at a loss, please be cautious." ”

"If he can't control it, the king can kill him, or hand it over to the Qi State for disposal, and he must not be allowed to stay in the Wu State and stay with the king!"

"Go ahead."

In the face of Bo Yu's advice, Qingji's heart still has a number.

After seeing Qingji waving his hand, Bo Ji knew that Qingji had his own opinion, so he put his mind at ease and said reluctantly: "The minister retires!" ”

Looking at Boji's back as he gradually drifted away, Qingji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In history, Bo Biao and Yang Hu both belong to the category of traitors, but their personalities are completely different.

Yang Hu is treacherous and cunning enough, but his personal morality is at a loss, and he can even do things that make trouble, and he can't be jealous and imprudent.

And Bo Bi is different.

Bo Ji treats Qingji, is loyal, and has no two hearts.

Even if Qingji asks Bo Ji to cut himself, I am afraid that the latter will not hesitate......

However, in the final analysis, Qingji thinks that Yang Hu is still a rare talent.

As a retainer of Jisun, he has no strong family background and political background, but he can be among the ranks of the secretary of Lu, so as to command Sanhuan, govern Lu, and open the precedent of "accompanying ministers to govern the country" in Lu.

It can be said that Yang Hu is an out-and-out wizard of governing the country, a trick of losing the country, and a villain in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period!

Qingji thinks that it is necessary for him to summon Yang Hu to see if he can be taken in by himself.

……

After Bo Que left, Qingji sent another team of guards to bring Yang Hu, who temporarily lived in an inn, to King Wu's palace.

Qingji met Yang Hu in the Zide Palace.

Yang Hu is about fifty years old, his complexion is yellow, he has a thick goatee, a Chinese face, and his sideburns are meticulously cared for, and he seems to have expected that Qingji will summon him, so he has brushed it in advance.

Yang Hu was wearing a black robe, wearing a long crown, dressed like a scholar, and his face was solemn, like a minister in the court.

has a clear appearance, and it doesn't look like a traitor at all......

Moreover, the appearance of Yang Hu is quite similar to Confucius.

As the saying goes, people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured.

Qingji naturally does not judge people by their appearance.

Even Wu Zixu and Fan Li, who are proficient in physiognomy, may not be able to notice it at the first glance of Yang Hu, this person's eagle looks at the wolf!

"Lu people Yanghu, see King Wu! Wan Wan of King Wu! ”

The moment he saw Qingji, Yang Hu looked like he was pleasing to the eyes, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Qingji.

It is like a courtier who bows down to his own monarch and treats the gods with the utmost piety.

Qingji just waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite." Yoko, please take a seat! ”

"King Xie!"

Hearing that Qingji could call himself "Yangzi", and let himself sit down, he didn't neglect his Yanghu, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then he owed half of his body and sat under the majesty's platform.

In the whole world, there are not many people who can sit and discuss the Tao with Wu Wangqingji.

"Yoko, I've heard a little about your experience."

Qingji smiled slightly and said: "You are a retainer of the Ji family of Lu State, but you can use the identity of a courtier to suppress Sanhuan and govern Lu State." Throughout the ages, you are still the first ......"

"The king praised it."

Yang Hu smiled quite embarrassedly: "Everything that the contemptible people have done, but it is just luck, and it is also a matter of disapproval in the world." ”

"If it weren't for that, how could the contemptible people be reduced to such a field today?"

It is indeed a dishonorable thing to betray one's own lord.

The history of the Spring and Autumn Period is a family history, and if a person wants to succeed, he must have a certain family background.

Yang Hu, surnamed Ji, Yang family, it is conceivable that the ancestors were also prominent, they were born in the aristocracy, maybe hundreds of years ago, they were still a branch of the Zhou royal family......

The state of Lu, as a country with the surname Ji in the East closely related to the Zhou royal family, was established by Bo Yu, the son of Ji Dan, the Duke of Zhou.

It's just that the country of Lu has not been peaceful over the years.

About a decade ago, in 517 BC, Lu Zhaogong wanted to expel the Jisun clan.

Lu Zhaogong united with Zang Zhaobo, who was usually dissatisfied with the Ji Sun clan, and Yun Zhaobo launched a surprise attack on the Ji Sun clan.

At this time, the Mengsun clan and the Shusun clan in the Sanhuan sent troops to assist the Jisun clan in getting through the difficulties.

The three Huan soldiers were united, defeated Lu Hou's personal soldiers, attacked and killed Yun Zhaobo, and Lu Zhao's soldiers were defeated and fled to Qi and were accepted by the Qi people.

Sanhuan then supported Song as the Marquis of Lu, the younger brother of Duke Zhao, and was the Duke of Luding.

You must know that the three huans of the Lu State, like the six secretaries of the Jin State and the seven Mu of the Zheng State, are all taking turns to control the state power.

However, since that time Lu Zhaogong fled, Lu Hou's prestige has plummeted and he has become a puppet.

The Jisun clan has also become the strongest family among the three Huan of the Lu State.
