"Two and three sons!"

On the execution ground, Shen Baoxu, who had been tied up with five flowers and had a cloak on his head, looked at the Li Shu of Chu State around him, with such an excited appearance, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and fell to his knees with a "plop" sound.

"Second and third sons! Today, I Shen Baoxu's death is for martyrdom and loyalty to Great Chu!"

"Thou shalt not mourn! There is no need to remember! There is no need to grieve over Shen Baoxu's death!"

"King Wu Gaoyi, give me Shen Baoxu a death, and achieve my name through the ages!"

"The death of a man is lighter than a feather, and some is heavier than a mountain!"

"Shen Baoxu's death is heavier than Mount Tai!"

Hearing Shen Baoxu's impassioned words, Li Shu of Chu State, who was present, couldn't help but burst into tears and stood there wiping his tears.

Wu Wang Qingji is a kind man, out of justice, he put Shen Baoxu to death, in order to fulfill his reputation as a loyal minister and a good general, and it will reach the world and future generations!

How could such a King of Wu make the Chu people resentful?

Of course, that's all.

After all, the state of Wu destroyed the state of Chu, and the people of Chu all followed into rootless and drifted with the tide......

Slaves of the country?

How could the Chu people, who had fallen to such a point, not be hostile to Wu Wang Qingji?

In the past, Boyi and Shuqi "brothers gave up the country, detained horses and admonished them, shamed Zhou Su, and starved to death in Shouyang", benevolence and righteousness, why not let the people of the world sing?

The current Shen Baoxu is the same.

Qingji wanted Shen Baoxu to die vigorously and not in vain......

At this time, Qingji stood in front of Shen Baoxu and asked meaningfully, "Shen Baoxu, do you really want to surrender to Wu?"

"My lord, the minister's will to die has been decided!"

Shen Baoxu said angrily: "I, Shen Baoxu, was born as a Chu person, and died as a Chu ghost! Be not a traitor to the Lord!"

What a virtuous Shen Baoxu!

In fact, many years ago, Qingji already knew that he would not be able to conquer Shen Baoxu and let him surrender to Wu to serve him.

Shen Baoxu cried Qin Ting, how tragic?

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Qingji asked again.

Hearing this, Shen Baoxu was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The king, the wife and children of the minister, please don't condemn the king......

Qingji bowed his head slightly and said, "If you can't help your wife and children, the widow will promise you." When you die, your wife and children will be taken care of."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Baoxu finally let out a long sigh and said, "In addition, the king, the minister has one last wish."

"After my death, please bury the ministers on the bank of Zhushui outside the city of Yingdu, and dig out the eyes of the ministers, so that the ministers can see if there is any possibility of revival of my Chu country!"

As soon as he heard this, before Qingji could speak, the uncle who was following him couldn't help but scold, "Shen Baoxu! You are presumptuous!"

"Old horseman! You really don't know what to do......

Qingji waved his hand and motioned for Bo to stop, and the latter glared at Shen Baoxu indignantly and kept silent.

Qingji took a deep look at Shen Baoxu and said indifferently, "The widow promised you."

"Thank you, King!"

Shen Baoxu finally put his mind at ease.

Before the execution, Wu Zixu personally untied Shen Baoxu and drank a bowl of severed head wine with him.

The two talked about each other, and they were all embarrassed.

Wu Zixu and Shen Baoxu can be described as best friends!

In the past, when Wu Zixu was fleeing to the Song Kingdom, he met Shen Baoxu, who had just returned from an envoy to a foreign country.

After Wu Zixu wept bitterly about the tragic experience of his father and brother, he gritted his teeth and said to Shen Baoxu: This revenge is not revenge, it is not a gentleman! I must take revenge and destroy the state of Chu.

Shen Baoxu replied solemnly: If you want to destroy the Chu State, I will defend the Chu State. Please believe in our friendship, I will not tell anyone about our meeting today.

extend

Bao Xu's words not only reflect the cherishing of friendship, but also show the pure heart of loving the motherland.

Such two people are also different in the Tao and do not conspire with each other!

However, in matters of loyalty and patriotism, the two are exactly the same.

Wu Zixu came to the execution ground just to see Shen Baoxu on his last journey!

After drinking wine and talking about the past deeds, Shen Baoxu slowly stood up and smiled with relief.

"My lord is in the north, and he shall not cause me to die facing the south."

Leaving behind such a righteous and awe-inspiring sentence, Shen Baoxu knelt down facing Jingshan in the north, waiting for the arrival of death.

Shen Baoxu only thought that Xiong Zhen was defeated by Shen Zhuliang's remnants and fled to Jingshan......

"Execution!"

"Poof!"

With Wu Zixu's order, the knife and axe hand suddenly raised his knife and cut off Shen Baoxu's head.

Between the splashes of blood, a smile still appeared on the corner of Shen Baoxu's mouth......

After Shen Baoxu's death, the Chu people wept for a long time and were sad.

Qingji also buried his body on the bank of Zhushui in accordance with Shen Baoxu's last wish, and dug out Shen Baoxu's eyes......

At the same time, Qingji also built a bluestone tomb for Shen Baoxu, personally mourned, and allowed the Chu people to come to pay tribute to Shen Baoxu.

Such a tolerant treatment of the Chu people and courtesy to Shen Baoxu also made Qingji gain some favor from Li Shu of the Chu State.

……

On the day of the return of perseverance, look at the spirit flag in the sky!

On the bank of Zhushui, Qingji wore a simple black samurai uniform, with a Longyuan sword pinned to his waist, and his hair tied with a southern crown, leading a group of generals of Wu to come to Shen Baoxu's grave to worship.

After the condolences were finished, Qingji stood on the hill not far away, looking at the lake and mountains in the distance.

This is undoubtedly a treasure of feng shui, and even the Yingdu City in the distance is clearly visible.

Yingdu is located in the south of Jishan and the north of Zhu Palace.

East of Zhangfang, Yunmeng Jersey!

Due to historical reasons, the capital of Chu has been moved several times, and the number of capitals it has moved and the frequency of capital changes are incomparable to other princes in the early Zhou Dynasty.

And the Chu people have the habit of naming the capital city Ying......

Speaking of the capital of the Chu State, it is more complicated.

Danyang is the place where the ancient Chu State was first established.

As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Chu Bird Bear had already lived in Danyang and belonged to King Wen of Zhou.

In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, when Zhou became king, Xiong Yishi, the descendant of the avian bear, was named the son of Chu and still lived in Danyang.

Until the early Spring and Autumn Period moved to Deng, "Danyang" was the name of the early capital of the Chu State, and it lasted for more than 300 years.

Yingdu, also known as "Jiangling", is geographically important.

Yingdu controls Bashu in the west, connects Xianghan in the north, takes the rivers and lakes in the north, and refers to Wuyue, which is the key point of the Central Plains to communicate with Lingnan, and is known as "the southeast town" and "Yidu also".

In 689 B.C., after King Wen of Chu succeeded to the throne, the "first capital Ying" was built in the south of Jishan, so it was named Jinan.

The Chu people habitually called the capital "Ying", so it was also called Ji Ying.

After years of development, the state of Chu at that time had firmly controlled the Jianghan Plain and became a great power and a powerful country.

In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu went north to compete for hegemony, winning the followers of many small countries in the Central Plains, destroying more than 50 countries, and almost swallowing up the small countries surnamed Ji north of the Han River.

Therefore, the history book says: Hanyang Zhuji, Chu Shi is exhausted......
