Chapter 745: Zhao Wuxian is hostaged
"Nope."
Qingji waved his hand.
This made Zhao Ying feel surprised.
Isn't Qingji still satisfied that he wants to take Zhao Bolu into the state of Wu?
Just when Zhao Ying was puzzled, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Jun, after all, Bolu is the son of Zhao Guo, your eldest son, if you enter Wu Kingdom to study, if anything goes wrong, I am afraid that the widow will fail Zhao Jun's trust."
"Therefore, Zhao Jun should still let other sons enter the Wu Kingdom to study."
"This ......"
Zhao Ying didn't expect Qingji to consider Zhao Bolu's safety!
Are you sure?
No way!
I saw Qingji say meaningfully: "Zhao Jun, you have many sons, and many of them are talented."
"The widow inadvertently heard that you have a son, whose name is unsympathetic, who has been sensitive and studious since he was a child, courageous, tenacious and tenacious. There is no one who is more admired than this kind of person."
"If Zhao Jun is sincere, he might as well let Zhao Wuxian go to Jinling to study, and the widow should treat him as a courtesy."
「……」
Qingji actually knew Zhao Wuxian?
This made Zhao Ying puzzled.
You must know that because Zhao Wuxian is a concubine and the daughter of the Zhai people, he has the lowest rank among the sons of the Zhao family and belongs to the lowest status of the concubine.
When Zhao Wuxian was young, even Zhao Ying couldn't look down on him!
However, Zhao Wuxian has been brilliant since he was a child, and his courage is extraordinary, not like his brothers, and over time, he has attracted the attention of the Zhao family's retainer Gu Bu Ziqing.
Ziqing has always won the trust of Zhao Ying with his kindness.
One day, Zhao Ying summoned all his sons to come and asked Ziqing to look at his face, and Ziqing took the opportunity to recommend Zhao Wuxian.
And Zhao Ying, like Qingji, pays attention to the education and cultivation of his sons.
He wrote the admonitions on a number of bamboo boards and distributed them to his sons, asking them to study them carefully to understand the gist of them, and telling them to examine them one by one after three years.
However, during the examination, Zhao Ying's sons, even the prince Bolu, could not recite them, so that even the bamboo board did not know where it was lost.
Only Zhao Wuxian recited the admonitions on the bamboo board fluently, and always hid the bamboo board with him, and often checked himself.
Therefore, Zhao Yingshi believed in Ziqing's recommendation and thought that Zhao Wuxian was virtuous......
Zhao Wuxian, in Zhao Ying's opinion, is a malleable talent.
It's just that at the moment, in order to win Yu Qingji's trust and protect the interests of Zhao State, Zhao Ying can only reluctantly agree to let Zhao Wuxian enter Wu State.
……
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.
At this time, in the midst of Zhao Ying's journey, Zhao Ying was talking to his two ministers, Dou Li and Shi Di, about his meeting with Qingji during the day.
After learning that Zhao Ying had made the conditions for marriage, protony, and tribute, and Qingji did not decide to crusade against Zhao Guo, their hanging hearts were slightly relaxed.
However, Dou Li and Shi Di thought that there was still something undecided.
Dou Li frowned and said, "Monarch, the marriage between Zhao and Wu, is it for Princess Ji Ying to marry Prince Heng, or to become Qingji's concubine?"
"Qingji can't make a decision for a while."
"Monarch, in the opinion of the ministers, Qingji will most likely not make the princess of my Zhao Kingdom become the crown princess of his Wu Kingdom."
"How so?"
Zhao Ying was quite puzzled.
Dou Li replied, "There are two reasons. First, Qingji has always been jealous of the monarch, and regards my Zhao State as a great enemy, how can he use the daughter of the enemy country as the future Empress Wu?"
"Second, he is jealous of this person, he is lustful like life, there are thousands of beauties in his harem, and the beauties who are fortunate to him are said to be not one thousand but eight hundred!"
"Princess Ji Ying is stunning, I believe it is no worse than Qingji's favorite concubines Nanzi, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. How can such a beautiful woman who is beautiful and fragrant not want to take it for herself?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dou Li, no matter how lustful Qingji is, he shouldn't rob a woman with his son......
"Why wouldn't the monarch do it?"
"What do you mean?"
Dou Li sneered, bowed to Zhao Ying, and said, "Monarch, there was an ugly incident in the Chu State in the past, which everyone knows about it."
"King Chuping is as lustful as Qingji, and he can be called a hungry ghost in SE."
"Prince Jian and Princess Meng Huan of Qin State had already decided on their in-laws in their early years, so King Chuping sent Fei Wuji to Qin State to welcome them."
"Fei Wuji is a female cadre and villain, and he has a dislike for Prince Jian, I am afraid that the latter will be unfavorable to him after succeeding to the throne, and seeing that Meng Huan is stunning, he asked King Chuping to marry himself, and replaced him with a Qin girl and remarried Prince Jian."
"Because of this, between King Chuping and Prince Jian, the father and son, there was a bitterness, and in the end, Prince Jian was attacked and forced to flee......
Hearing this, Zhao Ying suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, and said, "Dou Li, are you letting the widow make a plan, let Qingji and Wu Heng's father and son kill each other, and Wu is in turmoil?"
"Exactly!"
Dou Li said meaningfully: "The monarch, the prince of Wu, Heng, has both civil and military skills, and his talents are outstanding, and now he is entrusted with a heavy task by Qingji, sitting in the capital of Chu State, Ying, holding heavy troops, and his personality is almost the same as Qingji."
"How can such a man tolerate his wife being taken away?"
「……」
Zhao Ying had to admit that Dou Li's idea was too lacking in virtue and too ruthless.
Zhao Ying has never seen Prince Heng, but it is rumored that Prince Heng's personality resembles Qingji, and he has the style of a father.
If his concubine was taken away, how could Qingji not take revenge?
is his father, and he is afraid that the prince will dare to fight.
You must know that at this time, Prince Heng sat in Yingdu for Qingji, and was in charge of Nanjun and Nanyang County, which were in charge of the hinterland of Chu State, and his power was great!
In case the crown prince wants to rebel, even if he can't succeed, it can greatly damage the vitality of Wu Guo, who has achieved hegemony, and even fall apart.
No matter how bad it is, Prince Heng is not defeated and killed, and if he is simply executed or deposed by Qingji in the end, Zhao Ying can also be disgusted by Qingji......
However, the premise of this is that Zhao Ying must sacrifice his daughter Ji Huan in order to make Qingji and Prince Heng turn against each other, and the latter will come to a "rush to the crown and be angry"!
"What should a widow do?"
After some short thought, Zhao Ying finally made up his mind.
As a qualified superior, Zhao Ying knew how to make trade-offs, and after weighing the pros and cons, he thought it was worth sacrificing a daughter and gambling to cause civil strife in the Wu Kingdom.
"The monarch should try his best to make Princess Ji Huan the princess of Wu Kingdom, and then make Princess Ji Huan meet with Qingji, and let the princess hook up ......*** Qingji, once it happens, there will be contradictions and even direct conflicts between Qingji and Prince Heng, father and son!"
"Shhh
Zhao Ying couldn't help but gasp and was shocked.
Fortunately, this Dou Li is making plans for himself, if it is a strategist on the enemy's side, wouldn't Zhao Ying be in danger?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ying frowned again and asked, "The most difficult thing at the moment is how to make Ji Ying the crown princess of Wu Kingdom."
"Qing is jealous of this person, he is stubborn and self-serving, once he decides something, it is difficult for anyone to make him change his decision."
