Chapter 018 The Grand Ceremony

At the court meeting, Qing Ji discussed state affairs with a group of ministers and officials, mainly discussing how to appease the people and deal with Helu.

Because after Qing Ji took control of the capital of Wu, the various cities in the state of Wu basically depended on the ability to spread the word, and there was no need for Qing Ji to send out soldiers to conquer!

For example, in Wuyuan, Yuer and other areas in the south of Wu State, whether it is Qingji or Helu, whoever among them can get there first will have the right to own the place.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

At this moment, a slightly magnetic voice sounded.

Qing Ji raised his eyes and saw that the other person was a young man wearing black court clothes and a ceremonial crown!

He is more than seven feet long, slightly fat, and has a rosy complexion. It is obvious at a glance that he is of noble origin.

In other words, in the court of Wu State, there are many officials and officials who are from noble families, and Qing Ji has long been accustomed to it!

"Who are you?"

"This... Your Majesty is really a noble man who forgets things a lot. I am a humble minister."

The young man who called himself Boyu couldn't stop laughing.

Before Qingji led his army into the palace gate, he personally held the seal of King Wu and knelt down to greet Qingji. Unexpectedly, the latter turned around and forgot about him!

Is my appearance really so unremarkable that it would be difficult to spot him in a crowd?

Bo Xi was very depressed in his heart, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.

Boy?

Qingji remembered it.

When he entered the palace, it was too dark and Qingji couldn't see Bo Xi's face clearly, so he couldn't remember it clearly!

But, how could Qingji not be clear about Bohu?

This is the generation of treacherous ministers of the Wu Kingdom in history, who tricked Wu Zixu to death and ruined the foundation of the Wu Kingdom!

You should know that Bo Xi was recommended to Helu by Wu Zixu. Once he became powerful, he forgot about Wu Zixu's recommendation and made greedy remarks in front of King Wu Fu Chai many times.

In the end, Wu Zixu, a famous official of a generation, was forced to commit suicide and died unjustly!

It is worth mentioning that Wu Zixu met a tragic end.

In history, Wu Zixu was given a sword by King Wu Fucha and committed suicide. Before his death, he was angry and left his last words, asking his family to dig out his eyes after his death and hang them on the east city gate for Wu Zixu to see with his own eyes.

Follow the Vietnamese army to destroy the state of Wu!

Fu Chai was furious, wrapped Wu Zixu's body in Yiyi leather, and threw it into the Qiantang River.

Later, the Kingdom of Wu was indeed destroyed by King Gou Jian of Yue. Fu Chai was ashamed to see Wu Zixu in the underworld, so he covered his eyes with a white cloth before committing suicide with his sword!

The relationship between Bo Xi and Wu Zixu can be said to be very complicated.

In the early stage, the two were good teachers and good friends, golden partners, and shared the same ambition (to defeat Chu and take revenge).

Later, the two turned against each other because Wu Zixu was devoted to serving the country, while Bo Xi was selfish.

How can they avoid conflict when their ideas are contradictory?

However, Qingji did not deny that Bo Xi was indeed talented. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed by the heroic leader Helu and Fu Cha and climbed all the way to the position of Dazai.

Bo Xi, whose surname is Zi, belongs to the Bo family. His ancestor is Bo Zong, the son of Prince Ao of Jin State, and he belongs to the Duke clan of Jin State.

It's a pity that Bo Zong was stubborn and loyal to the country. He was dissatisfied with the power of the Que family, which dominated the government and the public, and was framed to death by San Que.

Bo Zong's son Bo Zhouli fled to Chu State and served as a senior official of Chu State.

Bozhou Li was born in Quewan, and his son inherited his father's business and became a Chu official. Later Quewan was attacked and killed by Yin Zichang (Nangwa), the order of Chu State. Bopu was forced to have no choice but to escape and serve in Wu!

"Boy, what do you have to report?"

Qingji asked calmly.

He did not base his preconceptions on Bo Xi as a treacherous minister who was only good at flattering others!

At least, Bo Xi now is still a passionate young man with a blood feud.

Like Wu Zixu, he wanted to take revenge on Chu!

Qingji might consider reusing this kind of Boji.

"Your Majesty, I think that although your Majesty has expelled Ji Guang and taken control of the capital of Wu, he has not yet carried out the crowning ceremony and the ceremony of proclaiming himself king. He has the actual status of a king but not the title of king."

"The people of Wu know that there is a king in the country of Wu, but the people of the world don't know. How can it be wrong?"

Bo Xi loudly said: "Therefore, I ask the king to choose an auspicious day, perform the crowning ceremony, and publicize it to other countries to rectify his name!"

The crown ceremony, the king's ceremony, and the celebration of death will naturally be held.

This is not only a ritual, but also a time for Qingji to truly bring order to the chaos!

This will make it clear that there is only one King of Wu and one son of Wu in the world, and it is Qing Ji, not Ji Guang!

"good."

Qing Ji couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "I will schedule my crown ceremony for two months later so that I can be prepared and the envoys from various countries can arrive in time to participate."

"As for choosing an auspicious day, preparing for the crown ceremony and other matters, I will leave it to Ji Zi to take care of it!"

"Ji Zi? This... Your Majesty, during the period of Ji Zi's death, I may not be able to fully prepare for the king's ceremony."

Bo Xi's face was very hesitant.

Qingji knew exactly what he was thinking!

Qing Ji glanced at Bo Xi meaningfully and said: "In that case, Bo Xi, I will allow you to be my excuse and assist Ji Zi in preparing for the crown ceremony."

"I will obey the king's orders!"

Bo Xi was overjoyed immediately and accepted the order and came down.

He took the initiative to mention this matter, hoping that he could use the crown gift to handle things quickly and thoughtfully, win Qingji's favor, and get the power he dreamed of!



After leaving the court meeting, Qingji put on his regular clothes and took an ox cart to Jizi Mansion.

Ox carts, like horse-drawn carriages, are a very common means of transportation!

Moreover, compared with horse-drawn carriages, the road traveled by ox-carts is smoother and less bumpy.

Many dignitaries from various countries use ox carts to travel.

Just because like Wu State, the local horse production is small, the horses are expensive, and most of them are used as war horses!

As a result, ox carts have naturally become an important means of transportation for people to travel.

But, only for short-distance travel!

If you are in a hurry, horse-drawn carriages are still the necessary means of transportation.

Although Qing Ji is now the king of Wu and the king of a country, he still doesn't want his trip to be too grand and attract attention.

Keeping a low profile will be beneficial to Qingji now!

“Selling grass, plows, plows and various farm tools! Don’t miss it if you pass by!”

"Zheng Guolai's shoes were sold cheaply!"

"Fish for sale! All kinds of fresh big fish! We just caught them this morning and they are still alive and kicking!"

"Come and take a look, take a look! Oranges, big fresh and sweet oranges! If they are not sweet, they cost no money!"

As the bullock cart passed through a market, Qingji couldn't help but lift the curtain on the cart and look up at the bustling scene outside.

The huge market was bustling with people coming and going. This bustling scene was nothing like the city that had just experienced a big battle yesterday!

However, it makes sense.

What was going on between Gai Yin Qingji and He Lu was a civil war, and they were fighting against each other!

Once the winner is determined between the two, the people will naturally do whatever they need to do without any delay.

I saw in the streets and alleys, the vendors at the roadside stalls were shouting loudly and greeting the passers-by.

Seeing this scene, Qingji couldn't help but feel relieved!
