Throughout the ages, everyone has their own bottom line in their hearts.

And the bottom line of the princes is nothing more than "killing the king and usurping the throne".

The princes hated those who dared to kill the king and usurp the throne.

Because no one can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen to them.

However, Zhao Ying's situation also has some peculiarities.

Because he was originally the head of the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom, after the overlord Jin Kingdom fell apart and was divided into six, Zhao Ying should be among the princes and become the king of a country.

However, He Qing was jealous of Zhao Ying's ability, and replaced the Zhao family's big sect with the Zhao clan's small sect, Handan clan, and supported Handan Ji as Zhao Jun, which has always been criticized.

"I don't know why Marquis Wu showed mercy to the widow's subordinates at that time?"

Zhao Ying asked puzzled.

Hearing this, Qingji just smiled and said nothing.

He was naturally murderous towards Zhao Ying.

But in front of so many princes, cooking and killing Zhao Ying in front of the public, what kind of bad impact will it cause after that, how can Qingji not know?

Qingji, as the king of Wu and the overlord of the world, if he shows such a cruel and unkind side, won't it cause everyone to endanger themselves?

】

He cannot ignore the interests of the country for the sake of his own momentary pleasure.

At this point, even if Qingji killed Zhao Ying, it would only increase the trouble, and there would be no benefit to Wu Guo.

After being silent for a long time, Qingji finally said slowly: "Zhao Ying, you are indeed qualified to become an opponent of the widow, or even an old enemy. ”

"However, the country is always strong, and the country is always weak. The widow firmly believes that no matter how strong your Zhao Ying's ability is, how can you fight with the widow with the strength of a country in Zhao Kingdom? ”

"Mo said that it is a Zhao country, that is, the six Jin are tied together, and the widow is not afraid."

"If you die like this, won't the rest of your life be a little less fun?"

Qingji said such a thing, naturally it was a scene.

Because the six countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Bank of China cannot form an alliance, at least not now.

If there is a chance, Qingji certainly wants to get rid of Zhao Ying's henchman.

Zhao Ying also knew this truth, so he smiled slightly and said: "Wu Hou's words are wrong, the country is always strong, the country is always weak, how can the country be strong and weak?" ”

"It's as strong as the Chu State, isn't it also annexed by the Ruwu State, and everyone is gone?"

"It seems that the overlord of the Jin Kingdom, since the Duke of Jin Wen, has dominated for more than a hundred years, and no one seems to be able to shake the hegemony, but now it has also collapsed and disappeared?"

"In the past, the state of Wu was just a small country in the southeast in a corner, even at the beginning of your accession to the throne Marquis Wu, the national strength was still weak, and it was bullied by the Chu people, and it was almost in danger of annihilation."

After a pause, Zhao Ying changed his words again and said: "However, it has only been twenty years so far, under the rule of Wu Hou, Wu Guo is strong, the soldiers are sharp, and the treasury is full, which can be said to be rich and strong. ”

"In the past twenty years, the state of Wu has destroyed more and more swallowed Chu, dominating the south, so that it dominates the world, and Wu Hou has established a hegemony that is comparable to that of Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu!"

"Wu Hou can do it, but I, Zhao Ying, may not be able to do it. Moreover, today's Zhao State is not inferior to the Wu State back then. ”

“……”

Qingji glanced at Zhao Ying deeply and did not speak.

However, Zhao Ying could already know what he wanted to say from Qingji's meaningful eyes.

Qingji can acquiesce to the fait accompli of Zhao Ying's usurpation of the throne and not crusade against it.

However, Zhao Ying must come up with some conditions to win Yu Qingji's trust.

"Marquis Wu, the widow is willing to pay tribute to Wu like the five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing. In ten years, no ...... In the lifetime of the widow, if there is no teacher from another country to invade our borders, the Zhao State will definitely be stable and will not dare to fight at every turn. ”

"From now on, Zhao State is a vassal of Wu State, but Wu Hou is the first to look forward!"

For Zhao Ying's promise, Qingji's heart naturally did not believe it.

In a short period of time, it may be three or five years, and the Zhao State and the rest of the Five Jin Dynasty will enter a period of Taoguang Yanghui, which is inevitable.

However, Zhao Ying did not engage in a war of external expansion in his life?

How can Qingji believe this?

"Not enough."

Qingji simply said two words.

Zhao Ying said again: "I, Zhao Guo, should marry Wu Guo. Wu Hou, the widow has a daughter in the age of Xuan, Zhao Jiying, who is stunning, and can marry the son of Wu Guo. ”

Zhao Jiying?

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

The ancients often added the order of rank before the characters, the father's brother was called "uncle", the father's second brother was called "middle father", the middle father's brother was called "uncle", the youngest uncle was called "Ji father", and later the brother of Bozhong was collectively referred to as "uncle".

Uncle, Zhong, Uncle, and Ji are the order used by people in this era to rank brothers.

For example, Confucius ranked second, so he was called "Zhongni"; Sun Quan is Sun Jian's second son, hence the word "Zhongmou".

If there are more than four siblings, then from the third to the penultimate are likely to be called "uncle".

For example, King Wen of Zhou had nineteen sons, and the Duke of Zhou was the fourth, also known as "Shudan".

Of course, the eldest in the family can be called "Bo" or "Meng", such as Meng Huan, the concubine of Qingji.

Therefore, the "Zhao Jiying" in Zhao Ying's mouth should be his fourth daughter.

This is not the most critical, because Qingji realizes that this Zhao Jiying, most likely, is the Madame Molu of the historical and pro-Dai country......

"I don't know which son Zhao Jun plans to marry his daughter to the widow?"

Qingji asked with interest.

"Marquis Wu, if Zhao Jiying, the daughter of the widow, is blessed, I don't know if she can become the princess of Wu?"

“……”

Zhao Ying wants his daughter to become the crown princess of Wu, the future queen of Wu?

It is worth mentioning that there are many children who celebrate the taboo today, but there are very few sons who are really suitable for marriage.

Hearing Zhao Ying's question, Qingji thought for a while, and then said with a surging smile: "Zhao Jun, about the marriage between Wu and Zhao, on the widow's side, the sons of the right age, and the weak crown are only Wu Hong, Wu Xi and Wu Fan. ”

"As for Wu Heng, he is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he will be crowned in another year or two."

"In this way, wouldn't it delay the beauty?"

It seems that Qingji is unwilling to let Zhao Ying's daughter become the crown princess of Wu State.

Qingji has many sons, and any older son can marry Zhao Jiying and achieve the marriage between Wu and Zhao.

Even if Zhao Jiying becomes Prince Heng's side concubine (beloved), Qingji can agree.

It's just that the position of the crown princess, Qingji still needs to be carefully considered.

Wu Hou laughed.

Zhao Ying said with a smiling face: "Good wine and good food are not afraid of being late." Let Ji Huan wait for a year or two, and then she can become the crown princess of Wu State, this is her honor, it is the honor of the widow, and it is also the honor of Zhao State! ”
