On the west side of Jinling City, the house of Gongzi Wu Hong.

At this time, in the study room, the lights are bright, as bright as day.

Gongzihong sat on the main seat, and sitting on one side was Gongzihong's mentor, Kongqiu, the right prime minister of Wu.

On the seats on both sides, the people sitting upright are all dignitaries.

However, there are not many of them.

There are Gongzi Xi, Zhisu Neishi Zengdian, Shaofu was separated, Taifu Shenxi, Shangdafu Hu Yong, and Qingji's two uncles, who are in Jiuqing's Candle Yong and Cover Yu.

It's a full house.

The position of Jiuqing occupies five, one of Jiuqing is specially appointed, and the other two are the sons of King Wu.

Eight people sat together and discussed great things.

What's the matter?

Naturally, it is to help Gongzi Hong win the heir......

At this time, Kong Qiu frowned and said: "Childe, the king wants to establish a prince, and now among all the princes, only you and Heng Gongzi are candidates." ”

"Prince Heng is a human being, just like a king, if he inherits the throne in the future, he will definitely be reckless, so happy, and take care of the people's livelihood in vain."

"Whether it is for himself, for Mrs. Rumeng, or for us, for the people of Wu Kingdom, don't have mercy on yourself!"

Hearing this, Wu Hong sighed and said, "Sir, what you said, Hong knows it. ”

"However, the position of King Wu is not what Hong wants."

"If Brother Heng can inherit his father's will and defend the territory and open up the territory, why can't we assist him and achieve an unprecedented great cause?"

When Kong Qiu heard this, he said with some annoyance: "Young Master Hong, why don't you understand? ”

"Now is a world of great contention, the country is fighting, and the people are also fighting!"

"If the son doesn't fight, will he be able to live in peace in the future?"

"You must know that with Heng Gongzi's personality, after realizing the threat you are to him, Gongzi, he will never be merciful!"

“……”

Childe Hongsan kept silent and did not speak.

At this time, Gongzi Xi, who was sitting at the bottom, said slowly: "Brother, what Mr. said is extremely true. ”

"The dispute between the concubines of my Wu country is no longer a battle for a breath, a simple dispute between brothers and a struggle for the throne."

"The rebellion of the five sons in the later years of Duke Qi Huan in the past, isn't it a bloody example?"

"How can my brother cherish his feathers and his reputation like this, and then ignore the righteousness of his family and country?"

"I ......"

Gongzihong was really helpless in his heart.

He didn't have much interest in the throne itself, and it was all the ministers like Kongqiu, Shenxi, and Candle Yong who had to push him to the throne.

It's just that what Gongzixi said is not unreasonable.

The "Rebellion of the Five Princes" in Qi that year caused internal friction is immeasurable.

In the later years of Duke Qi Huan, Yi Ya, Ji Diao and Qi Fang were in chaos, and with the five sons of Qi Room, the chaos lasted for forty years.

In the so-called rebellion of the five princes, there were actually six princes of the Qi Kingdom, one was the legitimate heir, and the remaining five princes were people who illegally competed for the throne.

The six sons are Gongzi Wuqi, Gongzi Yong, Qi Xiaogong Lu Zhao, Qi Zhao Gong Lu Pan, Qi Yi Gong Lu Shang, and Qi Hui Gong Lu Yuan.

When the Duke of Qi Huan was in power, he once set up Gongzi Zhao as the prince.

But after the death of Duke Qi Huan, Yi Ya and Ji Diao killed the officials indiscriminately, and supported Gongzi Zhao's elder brother Gongzi to ascend to the throne without loss.

But Gongzi Wuwu is actually a concubine, and he can't lead the Qi country at all.

Zhao, the prince of the prince who fled, went to the Song State and invited Song Xianggong, who might have become the second overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, to help......

As a result, Li Shu of Qi State was already resentful of Yi Ya and erected chaos in the government, which made the people of Qi State miserable.

As soon as he heard that the Song State was coming to attack with an army, he joined forces with the outside, killed Ji Diao, and strangled Gongzi without loss.

Gongzi reigned for only three months, and he had no name after his death.

Gongzi Zhao succeeded to the throne with the help of Song Xianggong and became the Duke of Qi Xiao.

After that, the remaining princes of Qi successively killed the prince and succeeded to the throne. But among them, there is a prince Yong, who has never succeeded in ascending to the throne from beginning to end.

】

After the rebellion of the Five Princes, the national strength of the Qi State was much worse than before......

Let's ask, how can Wu Guo not take such a painful lesson as a warning?

"Brother!"

Seeing Gongzihong, who was still hesitant, Gongzixi couldn't help but stand up, stomped his feet, and said indignantly: "Don't you hear that all flesh and blood have a fighting heart, so the profit cannot be strong, and the meaning is healed?" ”

"If you don't fight, brother! Do you want Wu Heng to succeed? ”

"In terms of knowledge, virtue, and ability, Wu Heng can be as good as his brother?"

"Besides, Wu Heng is a man, arrogant and conceited, and has never been friendly with his brothers. If he inherits the throne in the future, then we are brothers, not to mention whether there is a disaster of killing, I am afraid it will be difficult to get ahead! ”

"Father chooses a good teacher and gives my brothers to preach and receive karma to solve doubts, isn't it just that he hopes that we can contribute to the benefit of the Wu country?"

"Is my brother going to live up to my father's high expectations?"

As soon as he heard this, how could Gongzihong agree?

Filial piety is like Gongzi Hong, and he will never dare to forget the pure teachings of Qingji.

However, Gongzihong still took a deep look at Gongzixi.

This guy looks like he hates iron but not steel, what kind of wishful thinking is in his heart, how can Gongzihong not know in his heart?

"Brother Xi, in fact, if you want to become the prince, your brother may not be able to help you."

When Gongzixi heard this, he just smiled wryly: "Brother said he was joking." ”

"Xicai is shallow in learning, and his virtue is not as good as that of his brother. I only hope that after my brother becomes the prince as he wishes, he will not forget to bring Xi ......"

Gongzi Hong immediately waved his hand and said, "Fight, how can I fight?" ”

Seeing that Gongzihong had finally opened his mind and was ready to compete for the position of the crown prince, Kong Qiu, Zeng Dian, Shen Xi and others couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

In case Gongzi Hong's mud can't support the wall and doesn't plan to become the prince of Wu, they are the most uncomfortable.

"With Gongzi's popularity in Wu now, it is not difficult to win the position of prince."

Kong Qiu said meaningfully: "The only difficulty is to care about the difference between the concubines and the concubines. ”

"This is Gongzi Heng's side, the only one who can handle it, and it is also beyond the reach of Gongzi."

Therefore, the prince can start from the queen. If the queen can fall out of favor and lose her posterior position, then the son's biological mother, Mrs. Rumeng, must take advantage of the trend. ”

"At that time, the prince can follow Fuzheng and become the eldest son of the king......"

"No."

Gongzihong waved his hand and flatly refused: "The queen is virtuous and virtuous, and the people of the country call her virtuous, Hong has been taken care of by the queen since he was a child, how can he hurt the queen?" ”

“……”

Pedantic!

How can Gongzihong be so merciful?

Kong Qiu was very depressed, and couldn't help but sigh: "Childe, since ancient times, the battle between the concubines has never been a battle in a small area. ”

"The son is more precious than the mother, and the mother is more precious than the son. Why doesn't Childe understand? ”

"It's a fight to the death!"

"If the son is defeated, he will be left with nothing! Mrs. Rumeng? I'm afraid that after Gongzi Heng succeeds to power, he will be deposed, imprisoned, or even suddenly fall ill and die of a violent illness with Gongzi! ”
