Chapter 428 428
Not being able to refuse means that he can only accept this order.
Uncle Bao knelt on the ground: "Minister, I am willing to go to the Qin State for the sake of the Qi State and the King Huan to explore the plans of the Qin State!" ”
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "There is Lao Bao Zhongqing!" ”
Although Uncle Bao does not hold important positions in the Qi State, his official rank is still relatively high, and he is below the secretary.
Shangqing is Xiangguo, there are only three Shangqing in Qi State, and Zhongqing is more than Shangqing, but it is not much more, there are only thirteen in total, and Bao Shuya is one of these thirteen people.
The young Bao Shuya has always been for fame, in order to one day become a person under one person and above ten thousand people, and later he did it during the Qi Lufu period, became an important minister of the Qi State, and even became a secretary.
Later, after Qi Lufu's death, Qi Zhu succeeded to the throne, and Bao Shuya followed away from the place of right and wrong, and after Qi Xiaobai succeeded to the throne, he was dispatched again.
He briefly succeeded to the position of secretary, but soon stepped down, and later he saw power and fame clearly.
He lived all his life, pursuing fame and fortune, and in the end he found that it was all a virtual thing, which he did not bring with him in life and did not take it with him in death.
So he had the intention of resigning, returning to his hometown, planting a land, and enjoying the pastoral scenery, and he also reached the twilight of his life, and he knew that he would not live long.
It's just that Qi Xiaobai pays attention to his talent and doesn't want him to leave like this, so Uncle Bao can only continue to stay here.
Although he doesn't care about himself, he is also a family man, if he resigns rashly, can this Qi Xiaobai let his family go? Apparently impossible?
After all, you once served as an important minister of Qi and knew the secrets of Qi State, you didn't want to be an official and ran away, who knows if you are treason?
Zhaoguan.
Tian Ji received an order from Qi Guo at this time, asking him to use a counter-plot to frame Wu Qi.
"My lord, now you should go to Yingdu and use the counter-plot to frame Wu Qi!" The secret guard looked at Tian Ji and said.
Tian Ji looked at the secret guard to give him a letter, and then he put it on the candle and burned it: "Go back and tell King Huan that now is not the time to kill Wu Qi, if Wu Qi is killed, then the civil strife of Chu will end soon, so it will not be achieved, and the purpose of the national strength of Chu will not be achieved!" ”
Before Tian Ji came to the Chu State, the purpose of the Belt was to kill Wu Qi, but his purpose has changed now, and he feels that it is more important to consume the national strength of the Chu State, and it is more important to be weak than to kill Wu Qi.
However, Tian Ji was still thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, Wu Qi was alive, and Wu Qi could quickly pacify these nobles, could this really consume the national strength of this Chu State?
Therefore, Tian Ji will still use the anti-intermediary strategy, but he will not use it now, he will at least let Chu break out a few large-scale wars, and use it.
"What my lord means, I will tell King Qi Huan, it's just that my lord, this Wu Qi is not dead, this Chu State will not be weak, you provoke them to civil strife like this, the ministers feel that there is no meaning, with the King of Chu Mourning alone, it is impossible to deter the nobles, and when the time comes, without Wu Qi, the King of Chu will not be able to suppress the nobles, and this Chu State will still be weak!" The secret guard looked at Tian Ji and said.
"What you said is not unreasonable, King Chu Mourning can't suppress the nobles, but what about the nobles destroying the enemy King Chu Mourning? When the new king ascends the throne, there will be a short-term peak in this Chu country, which is a certain threat to my Qi country! Tian Ji said to this secret guard.
If someone really claims to be the king of the bear in the Chu State, then the Chu State will be strong for a short time, and after the death of this king, there will be a crisis of the year.
After all, the fundamental problem of the Chu State is that the aristocratic power is too strong, and the central power is weak.
And the only ones who can claim the king on behalf of Xiong are the Xiang family, the Zhao family and the Qu family, and whoever is the king of the three of them can temporarily deter the nobles of the Chu State, but when their current head dies.
The major nobles will still be dissatisfied again, of course, there will be no fierce battles in the short term, but this will still happen over time.
On behalf of the bear to be the king, Tian Ji is not allowed, but he wants to call the queen on behalf of the bear is a Chu country that is strong and strong in the middle, not the Chu country at its peak.
Although it is said to be the pinnacle, if the children of other families are Ming Jun for several generations, then it is not the possibility that the Chu State will have the possibility of recovering power, and the Qi State will be even more dangerous at that time.
So even if he kills Wu Qi, it can't be now, he still needs Wu Qi to fight these nobles, consume the power of these nobles, and when it's almost over, he is using a counter-plot to frame Wu Qi.
At that time, the nobles had been almost beaten by Wu Qi, and Wu Qi died, and the central army had no strong leader, and the two sides fought fiercely at that time.
No matter who wins, the state of Chu will become weaker, and the national strength will decline significantly, but it will be better for the nobles to win at that time.
Because the aristocratic alliance won, the state of Chu will have to change its surname, and then it will definitely have to fight for hegemony again for this throne, and the state of Chu will have a big war.
And if the Central Army wins, then the Central Army will not be able to eliminate these noble coalition forces, after all, there are too many nobles, that is, forcing the noble coalition to sign an agreement and cannot eliminate the coalition army.
Without the command of a famous general, it is too difficult to completely eliminate the aristocratic coalition army with only the central army, and even if the aristocratic coalition army is defeated and united again, it can still form a million coalition army to fight again.
The aristocratic coalition may not be well equipped and trained, but there are many of them, after all, the power of the nobility is much greater than that of the central Chu State.
"Just go back and tell King Huan, I Tian Ji knows in my heart, I will kill Wu Qi, and at the same time, I will be weak, so that the south of Qi will not be threatened from now on, and King Huan can enter the Central Plains to fight for hegemony with peace of mind!" Tian Ji said to the secret guard.
Then the secret guard took out a bag and handed it to Tian Ji: "This is given to you by King Huan!" ”
Tian Ji opened the bag and saw that it was full of gold, Qi Xiaobai knew that Tian Ji liked money, and loved gambling, how could he gamble without money?
So Qi Xiaobai gave Tian Ji a sum of money, which was a reward for Tian Ji, so that Tian Ji could take this money to enjoy the fun with peace of mind, and at the same time give him a monetary reward to make him work harder for himself.
Of course, the secret guards also reported on what Tian Ji did in Chu State, and Qi Xiaobai was very appreciative, so he rewarded Tian Ji so generously.
Tian Ji looked at the money, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he took a piece of gold and put it in his mouth and took a bite: "It's all true!" ”
"My lord, how can King Huan give you fake gold?" The secret guard said.
Tian Ji laughed: "What you said makes sense, how could King Huan give me fake gold?" ”
Then Tian Ji continued: "Go back and report to King Huan, your subordinates will definitely do their best to complete the task in the Chu State, if you can't complete the task, the minister is willing to kill himself!" ”
