Chu State, Yingdu.

"Greetings, King Chu!" After Wu Qi left Handan, he went to the state of Chu, and after coming to Yingdu, he went directly to the palace of Chu to meet the king of Chu.

And when the king of Chu mourning heard that Wu got up to meet him, he immediately received him, and the king of Chu mourning looked at Wu Qi suspiciously: "Sir, please get up quickly!" ”

Wu Qi stood up, and the King of Chu looked at Wu Qi and said, "Why did Mr. leave the Wei State and come to my Chu State?" ”

King Chu Mourning knew that Wu Qi had left the Wei State and planned to take refuge in the Chu State, but he didn't understand why Wu Qi left, and he had to ask to understand.

"I helped Wei Guodong to reject Qi State, seize Qin State Hexi, pinch Qin State by the throat, and defeat the king of Chu State, which is the first merit, but King Wei Wu did not give me the reward I deserved." Wu Qi said to King Chu Mourning.

"Even so, in order to repay the kindness of King Wei, the minister did not leave, but his son succeeded to the throne and did not have the spirit of a king. Wu Qi looked at King Chu and said.

Xiong Wei nodded, hearing Wu Qi say this, he already knew that it was nothing more than that Wu Qi was snubbed in Wei, and he was unwilling to be snubbed like this, so he fled from Wei and came to Chu.

King Chu Mourning knows Wu Qi's ability, after all, he can let Wei dominate the world, it is impossible to have some ability, and King Chu Mourning has no talent available now.

Although there is a Qu Yuan by his side, Qu Yuan is not enough to help him Chu State, revive the national prestige, and let him restore the scenery of King Huai back then.

At the moment when the king of Chu mourning lacked talents, Wu Qi, who had the title of unparalleled national soldier, came to the state of Chu, which made the king of Chu mourning very happy in his heart.

"I feel worthless for my husband, I have paid so much for the Wei State, but I was snubbed by the King of Wei!" King Chu mourned for Wu Qi on the side.

King Chu Mourning looked at Wu Qi: "Is Mr. willing to serve with me?" The widow is willing to give you Shangqing and let you take charge of the official seal of the Great Sima! ”

Because the structure of Chu is different from that of other vassal states, its official positions are also somewhat different, and the great Sima of Chu is equivalent to the position of prime minister of other countries.

Da Sima is the head of the six ministers of Chu State, and it is the official rank below one person and above 10,000 people in Chu State, of course, the theory is that the patriarch of the three major families is theoretically not as high as Da Sima's official rank, but his status is only higher than Da Sima.

After Wu Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, he thought that he had just come to Chu State, and the King of Chu Mourning would give him a medium-level official position at most, and the test would test him, but he didn't expect that King Chu Mourning would directly give him the position of Great Sima.

However, he was given the position of Great Sima, and as he wished, he could completely reform the state of Chu and fulfill the ideas in his heart.

Wu Qi looked at King Chu Mourning: "It's just that Lord Qu ......"

Qu Yuan is Shangqing, during the period of King Huai of Chu, because King Huai did many things himself, so Chu did not have the position of Da Sima, but he had the official title of Shangqing, and Qu Yuan came from the Qu family, it can be said that Qu Yuan was the first person under the king at that time.

Later, as soon as King Chu Huai died, King Chu Mourning did not understand many things, and the official seal of Da Sima was in charge of Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan did not live up to this official seal.

Under his control, the state of Chu is operating normally, although it cannot be compared with before, but at least there is no chaos, and the position of the king is still there.

So that many big landlords and big lords of Chu did not dare to move at will, and stabilized Chu State.

There is only one official seal of this Great Sima, and once Wu Qi is sealed, this Qu Yuan must hand over the official seal of the Great Sima.

Qu Yuan stood up: "There is no problem for me to hand over the official seal of Da Sima!" ”

In fact, when he was pregnant with the king, he felt that Qu Yuan was not suitable for the position of the great Sima, but the king of Huai died, and the king of Chu Mourning had just succeeded him, and his talent was shallow, so Qu Yuan served as it.

Qu Yuan also knew that his talent was not suitable for the position of the Grand Sima of the Chu State, for the current Chu State, he needed a peerless talent, although he Guan Zhong was talented, but he knew that he could not make the Chu State completely strong and restore the glory of King Chu Huai back then.

King Chu Mourning looked at Qu Yuan and said, "Qu Yuan, you will continue to be a great Situ!" ”

The second official position among the six ministers of the Great Situ Chu State is in charge of Chu's internal affairs, financial and logistical affairs, and Qu Yuan has been in charge of the official seal of the Great Situ.

Qu Yuan looked at Wu Qi: "I just don't know what the first thing you want to do after you take charge of Da Situ?" ”

"Strengthen the power of the king of Chu and reclaim the power of the princes......" Wu Qi began to talk about his plan.

His plan was nothing more than to weaken the power of those princes of the state of Chu, who were called county princes.

Weaken their power, for those who are powerful, you can use force to make them submit, once these people succumb, then the position of the king of Chu will be strong.

To put it bluntly, Wu Qi wants to reclaim the central power, and even intends to submit by force, Wu Qi has absolute self-confidence, he has the support of the king of Chu, and with the central army of Chu, he will completely unify Chu!

Of course, after recovering power, Wu Qi is also very straightforward about what he wants to do, and for those who have no talent, he will be deprived of his title.

In the past, these county lords could be hereditary, but Wu Qi was not ready to do so, and he exploited the titles of those who did not have talent.

Second, what Wu Qi has to do is to appoint and dismiss personnel in various regions, and even the county is directly appointed and dismissed by the King of Chu Mourning.

"In one year, I can let the State of Chu exert its due strength, and when the time comes, we can concentrate on the outside world, and when the time comes, we will first attack the State of Wei and settle in the Central Plains!" Wu Qi said to King Chu Mourning.

When King Chu Mourning heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and looked at Wu Qi: "What Mr. said is true?" ”

And Qu Yuan looked at Wu Qi: "What you said is true?" Qu Yuan didn't expect Wu Qi to be so confident.

Qu Yuan also sighed that Wu Qi deserved to be a great talent, what Wu Qi thought, he did think about it, but he didn't dare to do it, after all, once he did this, the Chu State would definitely be chaotic, but Wu Qi had absolute confidence, as long as King Chu Mourning gave him the command of the army, even if he launched a civil strife, he would have the ability to calm down.

This is something Qu Yuan can't do, after all, his family is a big lord, and if he does this, he will definitely weaken his family and launch a rebellion, Qu Yuan doesn't have the confidence to deal with the three major families.

Even King Chu Huai did not have the self-confidence to completely reclaim the power of the princes, and King Chu Huai only relied on his might and courage to coerce the princes to help him fight the Central Plains together.

But the princes also have their own little ninety-nine.

And King Chu Huai did not dare to fight the princes of Chu by force, because he was not confident that he could defeat those princes, and once he fought, even if he could be defeated, he would not know how many years, and when the pacification was over, Chu might be a ruin, let alone settle in the Central Plains.

But when he came to Wu Qi, Wu Qi directly said that he could give him a year, and as long as he had a year, he could completely reclaim his power.
