Chapter 742: Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War
"Widows know that the enmity between Zheng and Xu has been around for a long time. However, it is not advisable to settle the dispute, and the widow presided over the alliance of Xu Tian this time, in order to mediate the battle of Zheng Xu, I don't know if Uncle Zheng agrees? ”
Qingji said this kind of thing to Ji Sheng, and the implication was to let Ji Sheng sell face.
Favors?
No!
Forced by the strength of Wu and the attitude shown by Qingji, the Zheng army, which was originally pressed by the troops of Xu State and could destroy Xu in a few days, also retreated not long ago.
Ji Sheng, like Fei Yue, originally wanted to take advantage of Wu Guoshi's talent to establish hegemony and have no time to look north, annexing a small country, so as to strengthen his own national strength.
However, Qingji is not allowed at all!
"Respectfully."
Ji Sheng smiled bitterly and had to agree.
Although he is young, he also knows that his arms can't reach his thighs!
In the face of the strong Qingji and Wu Guo, Ji Sheng can only lead but not provoke, Taoguang is obscure, and when the time is ripe, he will report Qiu Xue shame again.
Don't look at Ji Sheng, he is jealous, but Ji Sheng will never forget the "shame of Xinzheng"!
The capital of Zheng was once breached by the Wu army, and the treasures of the Zheng Palace, all valuable objects, were looted by the Wu people......
This is undoubtedly a great shame for Ji Sheng and Zheng Guo.
Qingji this time, in order to defend the three kingdoms of Dun, Xu, and Cao, he offended Song Guo, Wei Guo and Zheng Guo in one go.
However, Qingji didn't mind.
Because he knows very well that after Wu dominates the world, these three Central Plains powers will inevitably work against Wu in the open and in secret.
In this case, why should Qingji be too polite?
At this time, Zhao Ying, who was sitting not far away, saw that Zheng Bo, Song Gong, and Chen Hou were all "sanctioned" by Qingji, and couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart and made a dripping grunt.
He knew that the person Qingji was going to "sanction" next would be himself.
However, Zhao Ying waited left and right, but he just waited for Qingji to give him a meaningful look.
Why?
The princes present were also surprised.
It stands to reason that among the princes who participated in this alliance of soldiers, the person who committed the greatest crime was Zhao Ying.
Zheng Boji failed to win and swallow Xu, Chen Houfei destroyed the Dun State, and Song Gongzi Luan attacked the Cao State.
In the end, these three people failed to succeed and were reprimanded by Qingji, why did Zhao Ying, who killed the monarch and usurped the throne, not get any punishment from Qingji?
It stands to reason that Zhao Ying is the one who should be thrown into the boiling bronze tripod.
……
Night falls.
At this time, in Zhao Ying's bedroom, it was still a brightly lit scene.
Zhao Ying sat opposite his two doctors, Dou Li and Shi Di, and discussed countermeasures worriedly.
Because not long ago, Zhao Ying got a handwritten letter sent by Qingji.
Qingji invited Zhao Ying to meet on the shore of Xu Shui and fish for fun.
How can this not make Zhao Ying worried?
"There will be no good meeting."
Zhao Ying sighed and said: "Dou Li, Shi Di, according to you, this time the invitation party, do you want to go to the widow?" ”
"No."
Dou Li hurriedly dissuaded: "Monarch, King Wu Qingji, like a tiger, kills people at every turn. Thinking that Jin Dinggong and Qingji met in Luoyi and were assassinated in Diaoyutai, this matter must have been made by Qingji Assassin. ”
"Wu Zixu beside Qingji is good at using tricks, and he can't use assassination techniques on the stage, and Wu Zixu is also proficient."
"Assassins such as Zhuzhu and Yaoli are all discovered by Wu Zixu, and he may not find an assassin for King Wu and kill you ...... monarch."
This is precisely what Zhao is most worried about.
"If the widow doesn't go to the meeting, not to mention the unhappiness that causes Qingji, Qingji may not take the opportunity to make trouble and blame my Zhao country."
"This ......"
Dou Li and Shi Yan glanced at each other, and they were speechless.
Shi Ying thought for a moment, and then frowned and asked, "Monarch, in the opinion of the ministers, King Wu may not dare to kill you." ”
"How?"
"Although the state of Wu has now established hegemony, the center of gravity of the Wu people has always been in the south, not in the north. If you are the king, the Zhao State will inevitably be in turmoil, so that the Six Jin Dynasty will be in chaos, and the princes of the Central Plains will fight again. ”
Shi Yin said slowly: "This should not be the situation that the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom are willing to see. ”
"Qingji needs a stable Wu country, and it also needs a stable Central Plains and stable northern countries."
"Good."
Regarding Shi Di's statement, Zhao Ying quite agreed.
People of insight can see that Qingji is unwilling to let Wu Guo fight at every turn.
However, in order to maintain the hegemony of Wu, Qingji also had to come forward and lead the Xu Tian Alliance this time.
……
Following.
On the shore of Xu Shui, on the Diaoyu Tai, Qingji and Zhao Ying sat together.
Not far away, there are all stubborn soldiers.
However, Qingji doesn't seem to have any idea of Zhao Ying's killer at all.
After putting a big carp in the bamboo basket, Qingji glanced at Zhao Ying, and said with a smile: "Zhao Ying, the widow didn't misunderstand you." ”
"Your courage is admired by the widow. It's just that you don't worry, this time you will have no return? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ying said curtly: "Wu Hou said that he was laughing. Wu Hou is Uncle Fang, a famous figure all over the world, and now the State of Wu is a hegemonic power, how can he do despicable things? ”
"If the widow can't go back today, Wu Hou, I'm afraid you will attract the criticism of the world."
"It's not a pity for the widow to die, but he shouldn't cause notoriety for Wu Hou."
"Notoriety?"
Qingji chuckled lightly and said, "Zhao Jun is like this, isn't he deceiving himself? ”
"Everyone in the world knows that Zhao Ji is a monarch supported by few people, and a prince canonized by the Son of Heaven."
"And you, Zhao Ying, are just Zhao Ji's courtiers, but you dare to commit a crime and kill the king and usurp the throne, isn't this a chaotic minister and a thief?"
"Throughout the ages, rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! The widow is at yesterday's alliance, throwing you into the Ding to cook and kill, I believe that the princes will clap their hands and have no objections. ”

Qingji, this is not a loss in nothing.
There was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Lile conquest came from the princes.
In this era, etiquette has long been broken.
However, everything has a certain bottom line.
As the king of a country, there is nothing more intolerable than the following crimes.
In the past, he was dedicated to assassinating the royal bureaucrats, and succeeded to the throne, which belonged to the throne of killing the king and usurping the throne, and illegally obtained the throne.
Therefore, vassal states such as Jin, Wei, Song, and Lu all funded the fleeing Qingji, helped Qingji successfully return to Wu, drove away Helu, and set things right.
There was also an incident in which a state called for the murder of a brother to stand on his own feet.
Zhou Hu united with the fleeing patriots, attacked and killed Wei Huan Gong, Zhou Hu then established himself as the king, was to abolish the Duke of Wei, and became the first son who successfully killed the monarch and usurped the throne in the Spring and Autumn Period.
However, the fate of the state call is also embarrassing.
In the end, Shi Jie, the Minister of Defense, united with Chen Guojun, Chen Huangong, to kill Zhou Hu......
Shi Jie, who killed his relatives in righteousness, even killed his son Shi Hou!
