According to Nanzi, Mu Ji can indeed be called the Lady of Chu, but she is just the kind who is in trouble!

Mu Ji's husband, Xiong Sheng, was the son of the former Crown Prince Jian of Chu.

Who is Prince Jian?

Prince Jian, surnamed Mi, surnamed Xiong, named Jian, courtesy name Zimu, is the eldest son of King Ping of Chu and the elder brother of Xiong Zhen, the current King of Chu.

Due to emotions and reasons, the crown prince Jiandu will inherit the throne of Chu King.

It's a pity that King Ping of Chu was not kind. He coveted the beauty of Meng Ying, the daughter of Qin, and made her his concubine. This caused a rift between Prince Jian and his son.

The next year, Fei Wuji slandered King Ping again, falsely accusing him of joining the Jin Dynasty to rebel against Chu and causing chaos. King Ping planned to execute him, but Prince Jian was afraid and fled to the Song Dynasty.

At that time, Wu Zixu wanted to flee to Wu, but the journey was far away, so he had to give up.

Later, because the prince was in the Song Dynasty, he took refuge with him. However, there was civil strife in Song Dynasty, so he had to go to Zheng with the prince.

In Zheng State, Prince Jian cooperated with Zhong Xingyin, a senior official of Jin State, to jointly overthrow Zheng Dinggong. However, Duke Dinggong found out and was killed. In the end, Zixu had no choice but to defect to Wu State together with Prince Jian's son Gongzi Sheng.

This is the origin of Xiong Sheng!

So far, Wu Zixu and Xiong Sheng have settled in Wu for sixteen years, and the latter has already grown up.

However, Qing Ji, as a time traveler, still remembers what Young Master Sheng did in the future.

If my guess is correct, Xiong Sheng will be Bai Gongsheng in the future.

The famous "Baigong Rebellion" in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period was caused by him.

It is said that Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Qin State, who was later called Rentu, was a descendant of Xiong Sheng!

"I would like to meet Young Master Sheng."

Qing Ji’s meaningful way.

"Great King Shengming."

it is more than words!

Nanzi is a smart woman, and as a princess of the Song Dynasty, she has a certain political sense.

In her opinion, Wu Guo could definitely use Gongzi Sheng's status to make a big fuss.

And Qingji could naturally see this immediately!

From beginning to end, Wu’s great enemy was Chu.

It is simply impossible for these two big southern countries to coexist peacefully!

If two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured!

Qing Ji wants to deliberately destroy the Chu State, maybe he can start from Gongzi Sheng!

…

Under Qingji's instruction, Nanzi began to contact Mu Ji and informed the king that he was preparing to summon her husband Xiong Sheng.

This made Xiong Sheng overjoyed.

He had been looking forward to the stars and the moon in the Kingdom of Wu for sixteen full years, and finally this day came!

How Xiong Sheng spent all these years is only known to him.

His status was very embarrassing in Wu State, although from King Liao of Wu onwards, neither Helu nor Qingji had treated him badly.

However, Xiong Sheng is like a transparent person!

Don't get any attention.

Even though Wu Zixu, whom Xiong Sheng regarded as his adoptive father, had become successful, he had little to do with him.

Because Sheng, who had lost his father, followed Wu Zixu to the Kingdom of Wu, hatred was like a raging fire that burned Wu Zixu's sensitive heart. Therefore, he could not take too much care of his son Sheng.

As the prince of the Chu State, Xiong Sheng was left out in the cold in the Wu State. Qing Ji probably didn't even know that he existed!

Fortunately, Xiong Sheng had no worries about food and clothing for so many years. Compared with ordinary nobles, his life was relatively comfortable.

However, how can Xiong Sheng, who is unwilling to be lonely, endure such wasted days?

Now that he can be summoned by King Wu Qingji, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Xiong Sheng, a chance to make a comeback!

An opportunity to get ahead!

After thinking about it secretly for a long time, Xiong Sheng immediately asked his confidant Shi Qi to come over.

Young Master Sheng was brave and aggressive, with a morbid mentality. He raised many dead men in private, and Shi Qi was one of them.

In the study room, Xiong Sheng and Shi Qi sat across from each other and told Shi Qi that King Wu Qingji was about to summon him.

When Shi Qi heard this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "My lord, opportunities are rare. They can be encountered but cannot be sought."

"The King of Wu summons the Lord this time. The Lord must show his due value in order to win the favor of the King of Wu!"

"My value?"

Gongzi Sheng was a little confused.

Shi Qi chuckled lightly and said: "My Lord has been in Wu for many years, but has not been summoned by the King of Wu. This time, the King of Wu suddenly summoned my Lord, is there no inside story?"

"Looking at the general trend of the world, the two countries Wu and Chu are in a stalemate. Although Wu's national power is becoming stronger, it needs a long process to consolidate the foundation of the hegemon."

“Although Chu’s mountains and rivers are declining, its heritage remains and its territory is vast.”

"If you want to destroy Chu, it will be impossible for King Wu to do so in his lifetime."

"Therefore, with the ambition of King Wu, it is inevitable that he will find other ways. In the eyes of King Wu, the Lord has become like a strange thing that can be lived in."

Hearing this, Xiong Sheng couldn't help but his eyes shone, and said: "Shiqi, are you saying that the King of Wu may support me in returning to the Chu Kingdom and make me the King of Chu?"

"The King of Wu has this intention, but it is absolutely impossible for the current Wu State to send troops to attack Chu."

For Xiong Sheng, this is a very cruel reality.

Even if King Qingji of Wu really intends to make Xiong Sheng the king of Chu, can Wu really send troops?

This is not in the interests of Wu State!

The Wu State, which had been fighting for years and resorting to militancy, needed a period of time to recuperate and continue to develop its national strength.

Thinking of this, Young Master Sheng couldn't help but said in frustration: "Without the help of Wu State, how could Sheng achieve such great things?"

Xiong Sheng is also an ambitious person!

In response to this, Shi Qi just smiled slightly and said: "Since the King of Wu has summoned the Lord, he must have seen the value of the Lord to the Kingdom of Wu."

"Why don't you bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, please do everything possible to please the King of Wu, so as to win the trust of the King of Wu and get the help of the Kingdom of Wu?"

When Young Master Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

"Shi Qi, victory is a big deal. It doesn't matter if I kneel down before the King of Wu or endure the humiliation and bear the burden. But how should I please the King of Wu?"

This is where Xiong Sheng finds it very tricky.

What does he have that can please Qingji?

Over the years, Xiong Sheng had no worries about food and clothing, because in the early days, he was supported by King Liao of Wu. Later, some merchants and nobles from Chu State, seeing how pitiful Young Master Sheng was, also visited him and offered congratulatory gifts.

In addition, Gongzi Sheng did some business and made a lot of money, and he had already become a wealthy businessman.

Enough to feed and clothe him for a lifetime.

Even so, as the King of Wu, Qingji is the king of a country. How can he care about the wealth of a mere family?

Do you want Qingji to see his loyalty?

This gave Xiong Sheng a headache.

He wanted to kneel down and lick Qingji and become a dog at his feet, but Qingji had to accept it!

Shi Qi said slowly: "There are not many things that the Lord can take away, and King Wu may not care much about it."

"However, King Wu can take it, but the Lord cannot deny it. This is an attitude, which is very important!"

"good!"

Shi Qi nodded slightly in approval.
