Gou Jian has been famous for a long time, but he has not been listed as an opponent by Qingji, who is busy recovering the country.
He and this historical celebrity only met in a hurry, and before he even had time to say a word, he was struck by his sword and almost died, and this person was about to appear in front of him.
Qingji clearly knows that the strength of Gou Jian and Yue has never surpassed Wu Guo, even if in the original history, Wu Guo died in his hands.
He spent twenty years recuperating and recuperating, and spent twenty years supporting and bewitching the husband to go to war everywhere, consuming his national strength, and finally relying on the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain and sneaking up on Gusu to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
If the husband hadn't pulled tens of thousands of elites to Huangchi to compete for the hegemony of the world; If Gou Jian didn't occupy Gusu by sneak attack; If Fucha can always control the military and diplomacy of Yue State in his own hands like other monarchs who control vassal states when he releases Gou Jian and returns to China, then even if Gou Jian can endure it again, even if there are virtuous ministers like Fan Li and Wen Chong to help him plan, Yue Guo will still be helpless against Wu State.
The geographical location of the Yue Kingdom has congenitally limited the growth of its national strength, even if the military god Sun Wu is brought to his door, as long as the husband is not a faint move, he will not be able to go against the sky.
Everything is just if, and now his opponent is no longer his husband, but himself.
Even if Gou Jian has been lying on his back since the day he was born, what else can he do, the corners of Qingji's lips couldn't help but pull a faint sneer When Gou Jian went to the hall, the Qingji he saw was like this.
The figure is magnificent, dressed in a royal robe, the crown bead curtain is vertical to the upper lip, the lips are slightly mustache, and there is a faint sneer, and there is a kind of dignity that is not angry but mighty.
Gou Jian stood in front of him, wearing a deep coat, wearing a jade crown, with fluttering sleeves, and there was also a kind of majesty of a person who had been in a position for a long time, but his expression was faintly revealing some yin owls.
"The criminal ministers of the East China Sea are enshrined, and the bodies of ten thousand deaths are worshiped under the king's tomb."
Gou Jian stepped forward and gave Qingji the most solemn bowing salute.
At that time, the monarch and ministers, unless there was a major ceremony, only had to bow when they saw the king, and they did not have to kneel and bow.
The Yue State is nominally a vassal state of the Wu State, and Gou Jian, as the prince of foreign ministers, should be treated leniently by the kingdom, and there is no need to perform this great ceremony.
A smile appeared in Qingji's eyes, compared to the various behaviors that Gou Jian had done to his husband, Gou Jian's behavior today was just pediatrics.
Of course, at that time, Gou Jian had the pain of losing the country, and the husband had the hatred of losing his father, and the antagonism between them was more profound.
Qingji's eyes were hidden behind the bead curtain, watching Gou Jian's every move.
For Gou Jian, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Speaking from the heart, Fan Li and Wen are indeed very talented people in governing the country, but in terms of politics and power strategy, they can't be teachers of Gou Jian, and they can't keep up with being a student.
Gou Jian entered Wu as a hostage for three years, Fan Li waited with him, as a courtier, he could persuade the king to forbear, but let the king offer the queen to enjoy her husband's pleasure, and taste for her husband to be happy.
Gou Jian was in Wu for three years, Wen Chong was in charge of Yue Guo on his behalf, and for nearly 20 years after his return, it was Fan Li and Wen Chong who took care of everything in Yue Guo, but once Wu was successful, Gou Jian only needed to send them a sword to make them self-judged, and he was not worried that there would be forces loyal to them to rebel or any courtiers to oppose it, which shows that he has always firmly grasped the military power and political power in his own hands.
Such a person is by no means a mediocre talent.
"Gou Jian" Qingji spoke, and the hall was so quiet that a needle dropped could be heard clearly, and Qingji's clear voice spread to every corner.
Gou Jian shrugged his shoulders, and lowered his head a little: "The sinner is here." ” "Where Does Sin Come From?"
"The sin of the minister, Sanya."
"Tell me about it."
"The minister is the prince of the lower kingdom, serving under the rank of the king of Wu, but he does not know the current situation, and is deceived by the rebel ministers of the state of Wu, vainly beating the banner of the king of Qin, arriving at the border, and being the enemy of the king's division, this crime is also a crime;" Gou Jian talked eloquently, the ministers on both sides listened, and kept looking at Qingji's face, the bead curtain covered his face, and the bead curtain on the crown did not move, and he couldn't see the change in Qingji's face.
"In the first battle of Wucheng, Gou Jian and his husband joined forces, led a group of warriors to besiege the king, and took advantage of the king's exhaustion to injure the king by luck.
Qingji listened to his rhetoric, saying that he bullied the widow with the crowd, and he hurt himself by luck because of the number of people, and saved face for himself, and couldn't help laughing: "At that time, the husband was the master of Wu State, and if you want to help, it is also right."
If the widow is injured, there is no need to cover it up. ” "Yes, thank you for the king's forgiveness.
When the king entered the Wu Palace, the guilty ministers did not meet in time, and the second did not enter Wu to ask for the guilt, and they did not measure their strength, and they were lucky, until the king's army pressed the border, and their lives were in the moment. ” Qingji's face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Gou Jian, since you know that you are guilty, you still dare to come to Chaojin to see you, aren't you afraid that the widow will kill you?"
Gou Jian's face did not change, and he bowed his head and sighed: "Gou Jian knows that he is guilty of death, and now he worships under the tomb with the body of ten thousand deaths, and is willing to accept the responsibility of the king."
It is not a pity for Gou Jian to die, but pray for my king, forgive the people, then the ministers will die nine times, and they will also smile under the spring. ” Gou Jian said that he calmly raised his head, pulled out the hosta, untied the jade crown, and then took off the robe and deep clothes, wore linen cloth inside, and wore his hair on the left side, looking like a prisoner of sin, and bowed down under the Danqi again.
For a moment, there was silence in the hall, only a heavy breath.
Qingji sat still, his eyes drooped slightly, staring at Gou Jian, who was lying on the ground.
Sun Wu is the head of the ministers, standing at the head of the right class, his eyes turned, to the opposite Yingtao to make a look, Yingtao has already been eager to try, as soon as he got his signal, immediately out of the class to play: "The king of the minister, Gou Jian is good at helping the husband and the husband, and the king is the enemy first, hurting my king so that he almost lost his life in the back, although he came to ask for the crime, the crime is not forgivable, and he should be beheaded, in order to respect and follow you." ” Qingji glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, and thought happily: "This guy, if you want to learn from Wu Zixu, fortunately, the widow is not a husband, speaking of the husband, by the way, Shi Yiguang, this little girl doesn't know what is going on now, history has changed, Gou Jian will not send her to Wu Guo That little girl, but she is a beauty embryo, but she is too young, even if she is used to make a beauty plan, she will have to live in another five or six years, but I don't know where this little girl is hiding at this moment, the widow has tried her best, and she can't find it, and I don't know what happened to her family now." ”” Qingji lost his mind for a while, his mind wandered and he didn't know where to go, all the ministers in the palace were staring at Qingji's face, and now Yingtao as his confidant and important minister, came forward to ask Gou Jian, but Qingji was silent, not a word, many ministers in the palace suddenly thought that they had figured out Qingji's thoughts, and he didn't want to kill Gou Jian, and then started a war with Yue Guo, so the doctor immediately took a step forward, and said: "King, there is a saying since ancient times, punish and kill, and disaster will affect the third world."
Today, Gou Jian with the respect of the prince of Yue is clothed on the left, wearing a hair to ask for sin, although guilty, the crime does not lead to death, the king Hongen, why not forgive his capital crime, then the Yue people will feel the king's kindness, and they will be attached to it, and it will also show my king's virtue. ” Qingji stretched out a hand slightly, and raised it into the air, the helper immediately stopped, Qingji waved his hand, Yingtao and the helper each returned to the class, Qingji slowly put down his palm, gently put it on the armrest of the throne, and gently knocked it.
"Yue Guo, I will fight sooner or later, if you want to seek the world, you must first stabilize the rear, Yue Guo is a poisonous snake in my heart, which must be removed.
However, whether it is the time to use troops against Vietnam Gou Jian this person, whether he can kill him now If you want to kill him, there is no need to be embarrassed.
Even if he can't kill him clearly, as long as he is detained in Wu State, he can still find a chance to die of illness.
It's just that even so, it's just a fig leaf on the surrender, and Yue Wang Yunchang still wants to rebel at all costs.
The food problem in this autumn and next spring has not been solved, the country is in need of recuperation, whether the Chu State is a friend or an enemy is not known for a while, and the matter of Dongyi must also be solved as soon as possible under the pressure of the Qi people's southern invasion.
With my current strength, I can only defeat the Yue country but I can't take the Yue country, once Yun Chang leads the army to flee into the mountains and rivers to fight guerrilla attacks with me, I will become the US army deep in the quagmire of the Vietnam battlefield, the problem is that I am now unstable in the country, the world is still chaotic, but no one has such strong financial resources, once I am deep in the battlefield of the Yue country, I can afford to fight, but I can't afford to consume it.
Moreover, in today's world, morality is still quite marketable, and many times it can indeed produce great power.
More than 100 years ago, Jin Huigong's army was twice as large as that of Qin, but he was defeated at the hands of Qin, because he repeatedly reversed his word and did not believe in his words, so that his three armies were ashamed to fight with Qin.

Now that I want to strengthen the Kingdom of Wu, in addition to continuously enhancing my own strength, I also need to establish the image of the Kingdom of Wu among the countries.
Gou Jian entered Wu with great fanfare, played such a trick, no matter how much he was wrong at the time, now he has a moral foothold, if I rashly kill him The princes will look at me Not to mention that this guy is very insidious, at the beginning through the mouth of Bo Yan played the banner of receiving the last life of Lu Lu, in that way he is not only not a rebel, but a loyal minister of Wu State, the whole world thinks that Yue Guo is weak and weak, and he is not worthy of a blow from Wu State, Gou Jian played such a bitter trick again, and really killed the person who drowned his spit stars, what a fuck, It's like a dog biting and stinging, and I can't bite it.
Qingji pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Gou Jian." ” "The Sinners Are Here" "Since you have come to ask for sin, why don't you tie up the rebel minister of Wu to see the widow?"
"My lord, Bo Yan has arrived."
"Oh, where is he" "Returning to the king, the boy is dead, and the sinner has brought his head, which has been flooded with lime for fear of decay, and stored in a box, and the head is now outside the palace, and the king can make people verify his identity."
The hall was suddenly in a bang, Qingji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his voice and asked, "You killed him" Gou Jian kowtowed heavily and replied loudly: "The sinner doesn't dare, Bo Tu lost his words after drinking, told the truth, and the sinner wanted to tie up Bo Tu to ask the king for guilt."
Unexpectedly, Bo Yan knew that he was guilty of a serious crime, and he was afraid of being punished by an inch, so he committed suicide while people were unprepared, and the minister was helpless, so he had to bring his head to the king to ask for guilt. ” Qingji was stunned for a moment, and laughed slowly: "It's good to kill yourself and die well, hahahaha" Qingji stood up and walked down the Dan Majesty step by step.
Gou Jian was lying down at the foot of the steps, so he had to kneel down step by step, Qingji stood still, he hurriedly bent down again, and his forehead touched the tip of Qingji's boots.
Qingji lowered his head and stared at his slender neck, faintly feeling of disgust.
Although the husband is brutal, he is a big husband in Qingji's heart.
And this Gou Jian, as soon as he saw him, Qingji had the feeling of seeing a snake, the kind of creature that was soft, sticky, colorful and disgusting.
What is a big husband, no matter how unscrupulous he is, no matter how he has no principles of being a man, as long as he realizes his own retribution, is he a big husband?
Yes, the great husband lives in the world to achieve a career, but this does not mean that the career is above everything else, even above the affection, dignity and personality of the human being.
You have to sacrifice all of this to turn yourself into a beast that will do anything.
To achieve the end, unscrupulous means, may be some people's successful philosophy of life.
However, all gains come at a price, this is the logic of life.
A ruthless and unrighteous man, what else does he have besides his so-called achievements Qingji smiled, laughing a little cruelly, but unfortunately Gou Jian, who bowed at his feet, did not see the cold light in his eyes: "Meanness is the pass of the despicable, noble is the epitaph of the noble, is there nothing in the world is absolutely the achievement that you do not hesitate to abandon your self-esteem and personality, I will also take it away from you, Qingji is not a husband, I will never let the villain get his will, you will eventually achieve nothing" Qingji stared at Gou Jian, Gou Jian was like a man's back, and after a long time, Qing Ji smiled: "Gou Jian, you get up, if you are alone, it is not a pity to die, and the widow will pity the thousands of people in Wu Yue, and forgive you for your capital crime." ” Gou Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked him: "The guilty minister is sincerely favored by the king, and he has to protect his life, and he is ashamed.
The sinner Gou Jian kowtowed.
After that, he knocked his head three times heavily, and then he got up neatly.
Qingji smiled and said in a deep voice: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable."
If you take advantage of the civil strife in the country of the widow, brazenly raise troops, slaughter my people, and kill my soldiers, how can this crime be spared now that you are afraid of the military might, and come to beg to surrender, if the widow just releases you and returns to the country, is it not benevolence, righteousness and kindness to the other country, but treats the soldiers and people of my Wu country poorly" Gou Jian didn't dare to raise his head, so he hurriedly bent his waist and said in a low voice: "The criminal minister begs the king to order." ” Qingji nodded slightly, suddenly turned around, walked up to His Majesty Dan, turned around and sat down in front of the throne, and the bead curtain in front of him was raised and stopped, swaying slightly.
"Wu and Chu first fought for Sang, and they fought for many years, and they were not allowed to relax.
After the prince of Erguang killed the king and usurped the throne, and then started the domestic turmoil, the war continued, so far the party has stopped, the people have been displaced, the fields are barren, and the people are not able to make a living.
And you took advantage of the fire to rob, its sin is not light, and now only by atonement for your sin can you avoid the pain of swords and soldiers. ” Gou Jian bowed his head and said: "I don't know what the king commands, but the criminal minister can be the master, so don't let it." ” Qingji's eyes flashed, and he said: "Now the Wu people have been fighting for many years, no one is farming, and the annual grain is not climbing, this autumn and next spring, there are signs of food shortage, and the people are hungry.
As a vassal country of our country, and as a guilty person, it is reasonable and should be assisted.
The widow wants you to borrow 10,000 stones of grain, and then return it when the grain of Wu is sufficient, how about it?"
Gou Jian was taken aback, and said in a panic: "The king has a life, and the criminal ministers dare not be, but they have no choice but to have ten thousand stones of rice and grain, and I have no way to raise them, and the criminal ministers dare not ask for forgiveness, and they indiscriminately accept the king, and commit the crime of defrauding the king."
The Yue people are barren, and there are many people who have no food and clothing, and ten thousand stones of grain are really not what the Yue country can afford, and they also pray for the king's grace. ” Qingji laughed and said: "Do you want to use false words to win the compassion of the widow, the country is barren, and the country is the richest man in the world, and the people still have displaced people without food and clothing."
Although the people are poor, the Yue country has been isolated in the southeast for many years, with our Wu country as a barrier shelter, there are few wars and disputes, and a little rice and grain savings can not be taken out of the treasury of the Yue country?"
Gou Jian said goodbye, begged bitterly, repeatedly told the suffering, Qingji was inconvenient to come forward, Sun Wu jumped out and argued with him, Qingji sat on it and watched the two of them talk endlessly, talking about how poor their people are, how they are down, and a look of "who dares to be worse than me", which makes people laugh.
After some arguments, in the end, Gou Jian couldn't parry, Sun Wu gave a step, and finally reached an agreement with Yue Guo borrowing 6,000 stones, Qingji said that the palace was on fire, the city wall was damaged, and he wanted to produce blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons and other craftsmen from Yueguo, and he wanted wood ore and labor for civilian service.
The secretary of the court had already written down the agreement, Gou Jian nodded, the secretary wrote the contract, handed it to him, and asked him to sign it, Gou Jian had no choice but to sign it.
After these conditions were negotiated, Qingji's expression eased a lot, and he said to Gou Jian: "All of the above, you are willing to accept all of the above, which shows that your heart of repentance is sincere."
However, if you commit the following crimes by assassinating the king, you must always be punished lightly.
What's more, whether the Yue people have been deceived by Bo Yan and whether they have no evil intentions, there are no doubts among the widow courtiers, and the widows want you to keep the pledge in Wu to show their sincerity, how" Gou Jian felt a chill in his heart when he heard this: "This Qingji, isn't it the first warrior of Wu who has always been bright and open-minded, how can he become so insidious and greedy now."
He first told me to make a contract, and if he repented at this time, he would have an excuse to cut off.
When everything stops, he will not give up, and he will leave me in Wu as a hostage, and I will not be able to leave this stay, when I will go back, and at that time, I will become the meat on the chopping board of his celebration, and it is not a matter of his words."
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, diplomatic relations between princes were particularly frequent.
In order to ensure the normal progress of diplomatic relations, "pledge" as a major form of "trust" has begun to appear widely.
Especially when two countries with unequal strength conclude certain alliances, it is even more common for a weak country to pledge a strong country to win the trust of the other party.
Gou Jian lowered his head and hesitated, Qingji saw that he had caught his weakness, and sneered aggressively: "Leave the quality to Wu, Fang shows the sincerity of Yueguo."
Now you are hesitating, because you have a bad idea."
"The criminal minister didn't dare" Gou Jian suddenly fell to the ground, and after a while, he burst into tears, choked up and said: "Pledged in the state of Wu, personally served under the king's ranks, and often listened to the king's teachings, Gou Jian really couldn't ask for it." ” He said a few words of fleshy sycophancy, and then said: "But the minister's father is frail and sickly, and he is often bedridden, and as a son of man, if he can't take care of him by his side, he will inevitably lose the way of a son of man."
Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and the dilemma between Gou Jian is to forget his feelings and rudeness in front of His Majesty, and pray for forgiveness. ” Filial piety comes first, and the way of father and son was more important than the way of kings and ministers at that time, otherwise Kong Qiu would not have advocated that the way of kings and ministers should be like the way of fathers and sons.
Gou Jian moved out of Yun Changlai, saying that his father was sick in bed because he was sick and difficult to recover, and if Qingji wanted to detain him and not allow him to return to China, it would be a little unreasonable.

Qingji sneered: "In this way, it is difficult for Yue Guo to enter Wu."
Gou Jian cried: "It's not that I can't, it's just that as a son of man, my father is sick, Gou Jian should do his filial piety in front of my father, and pray for the king's grace to leave the quality to others." ” Qing Ji smiled and said: "How can this be reasonable, Yue Wang Yunchang is only one son, who else can be a hostage, why not just send a child of the clan to perfunctory, wouldn't it become a child's play?"
There was a sound of ridicule among the courtiers of the palace.
Gou Jian wiped the tears on his face and said loudly: "How dare the criminal minister tease the king, not only must he be pledged by Wu, and the person who is pledged must naturally be in line with his identity." ” Qingji smiled and said: "Okay, since your father is lingering on the sickbed, it is unreasonable for the widow to force you to stay in Wu State."
If you have another suitable candidate, you can be outnumbered.
However, if it is a princess of your country, although she is also the son of a widow of your country, the widow is not sensitive. ” Qingji's words ridiculed the practice of often presenting the beauties of the Yue country when he befriended the monarchs and ministers of various countries, Gou Jian's face turned red, and said: "The Yue country is pledged in the Wu country, which is a major matter of diplomatic relations, so naturally I dare not respond to it with the female generation." ” Qingji bowed his head and said: "Okay, then who is the Yue country hostage?"
Gou Jian said: "The person who pledged is outside the palace, please allow the king to go to the palace to see him." ” Qingji glanced at him in surprise, nodded and said, "Quasi" After a while, two warriors brought a person from outside the hall, and the ministers all looked at the man curiously, only to see that this person was dressed in emerald clothes, nearly thirty years old, with good eyebrows and a slightly plump body, and they were a woman.
The woman was still holding a child in her arms, wrapped in a silk cloth at the vital point of her belly, and her white chubby arms and thighs were exposed, like a lotus root, and she looked very cute.
Gou Jian just said that he would not take the female stream as a person, so the woman in the upper hall will naturally not be a hostage, right?
Everyone's eyes were on the child, and even Qingji couldn't help but look straight at the child.
The little child was held in the woman's arms, sucking a hand in his mouth, and a pair of dark eyes turned left and right, looking curiously at these civil and military generals in the palace, thinking that he was usually used to seeing a lot of people, and he was not afraid of life.
"Who is this?"
Qingji pointed at the child, and he stuttered a little.
Gou Jian said angrily: "This is the son of the subordinate and the grandson of the king of Yue, who can be pledged to Wu on behalf of his father."
Gou Jian has a sincere heart for the king of Wu, and still prays for the king's favor. ” Qingji looked at Gou Jian and was silent for a long time, and a chill rose in his heart: this person is really able to endure what others can't, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, anyone can become a tool for him to use.
If it were me, I was afraid that no matter how dangerous the situation was, I would not be willing to give such a young and lovely son to others in order to win the trust of others.
However, since ancient times, in the family of emperors, there have been a few people who have done something as desperate as Gou Jian, not to mention him "Come near, show the boy to the widow."
The woman should be the child's wet nurse, and she has also seen a lot of ministers in Yue Kingdom, but after all, this is Wu Guo, and she still looks a little scared.
The temple man stepped forward and asked for the child from her hand, and she hurriedly let go.
The temple man took the child and stepped up to Dan Majesty and presented it to Qingji.
Qingji picked him up and looked at him carefully, he called the wreak and the wreath, the rat also, Gou Jian snake neck like a snake, the father and son got together, it was not a nest of snakes and rats, but this little mouse looked much cuter than Gou Jian, the child was white and fat, the eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and the eyes were like paint, which was cute.
Generally speaking, boys look like their mothers, girls look like their fathers, this child should look like his mother, if he grows up to be Gou Jian's surname, it is really disgusting that grandma does not love his uncle.
Children are not afraid of birth, he is also used to being hugged by many people in the Yue Palace, leaving the arms of the nurse and not crying, once he arrived in Qingji's arms, the pair of black eyes immediately became interested in the bead curtain on the crown of Qingji, he stretched out his white and chubby little hand to grab the jade beads on the crown, and from time to time there was a burst of giggles.
And Qingji was dressed in a grand crown dress, holding a small doll in his arms, with a smile on his face, and he didn't care about his actions.
In the hall where this group of ministers gathered, such a warm scene was suddenly staged, which was really gagging to watch.
"First falsely claimed that his father was seriously ill, and then used the prince's grandson as a pledge, loyal and filial, impeccable, so that people could no longer find a reason to force him to stay in Wu State.
This little doll will only be a young child in a few years, and if Yue Guo finds a chance to start a war with my Wu State again, will I be willing to risk the world's infamy to execute this doll with good means and good intentions?"
Qingji's disgust and murderous intention for Gou Jian is even more difficult to suppress, and the idea of making Gou Jian steal chicken and rice suddenly came to his mind, and Qingji hugged Gou and laughed: "Okay, since you have pledged the grandson of King Yue, the widow will accept you."
The widow likes this child very much, and wants to take him as a righteous son, are you willing?"
To be continued:
