"Your Majesty is wise!"

Qingji treated the disabled with utmost kindness and kindness.

Disability is not terrible, what is terrible is that disabled people give up on themselves!

Some normal people with sound limbs are not even as good as disabled people!

Why?

Because of the disability, they are physically disabled but strong in spirit. Even though they are physically disabled, endure the cynicism of others, and have difficulty moving, they still do not lose the courage to live.

However, there are some normal people who are world-weary and have given up on themselves!

"I decided to set up a Department of Nursing and Illness to be responsible for coordinating and accepting disabled people, and at the same time teaching them how to make a living."

"Let the blind be musicians, make those with little legs and hands work, make the deaf and mute literate, make the lunatic and paralyzed be supported, and be cured and improved."

Qingji's proposal was immediately approved by several ministers.

"The King's benevolence!"

You know, in the ancient West, people regarded various types of disabled people as "devil haunted" and "God's punishment". Disabled people can be harmed again at will. Their situation is very miserable, and their right to survival is not guaranteed.

In comparison, ancient China's attitude towards disabled people was relatively civilized.

Some of them can sometimes get some relief, help and sympathy.

During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, specific policies were proposed to reduce or reduce taxes on disabled people, such as: to maintain interest and support the people, the first is Salesian, the second is to provide for the elderly, the third is to support the poor, the fourth is to support the poor, and the fifth is to be generous.

Disease, Liuyue Anfu.

Among the so-called "six supports", in addition to "tolerance for illness" which has the most direct relationship with the disabled, others such as "old age care", "promoting the poor" and "supporting the poor" all have a certain indirect relationship with the lives of the disabled.

relation.

And these policies are not just ideas.

At that time, local officials such as junior situ and rural magistrates could also be appointed to "number them in nine ratios to distinguish between high and low, old, young and disabled"——

Concretely implement matters related to identifying disabled people, reducing or exempting taxes for disabled people, and arranging the lives of disabled people.

Following the ideas of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some small princes and small states also initiated measures to seek medical advice and care for illnesses when carrying out reforms.

The so-called "nurturing the sick" means "accepting and raising disabled people, providing them with food and clothing".

It is exactly the same as what Confucius proposed before.

During the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, and Northern and Southern periods, some enlightened emperors even sent ministers to provide care for the disabled.

In order to implement measures to provide care for the disabled, relief agencies of different sizes have been established in the past dynasties.

Don’t help the poor but the urgent!

Qingji understands this truth.

Therefore, even if the state of Wu does not lack the expenses to support the disabled, Qingji hopes that they can find their own way to make a living without having to endure hunger and the risk of freezing to death in winter.

…

After the four ministers Confucius, Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wu Zixu left, only Qingji and his son were left in the huge court hall.

"Xier, kneel down!"

"Father..."

"I want you to kneel down!"

Wu Xi, who was scolded by Qingji again, was so frightened that he trembled and quickly knelt down in front of Qingji with a "plop".

"Do you know what you did wrong?"

Hearing this, Young Master Xi lowered his head, his eyes wandered for a few times, and then he kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, father! I know I was wrong!"

"My sons and ministers are just children, and they should not discuss state affairs arbitrarily!"

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

Qing Ji stared at Wu Xi who was kneeling at his feet with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I asked you and Hong'er to listen to the government, and I deliberately let you two participate in the government. Why are you discussing the state affairs?"

"It seems that you are still stubborn..."

"Father!"

At this time, Wu Hong, the eldest son, stood up, knelt down with his second brother Wu Xi, bowed to Qingji and said: "Brother Xi is young and ignorant, and the government for the disabled is very harsh."

"Now that Brother Xi has known his mistake, he will definitely correct it. Please forgive me, father!"

"Father, I know I was wrong!"

Wu Xi quickly crawled to the ground.

"Young and ignorant?"

Qingji is really angry and funny.

As the saying goes, you look old at the age of three. Wu Xi is now seven years old. He has such a naughty nature and a vicious heart. If he doesn't correct it in time, will he be able to deal with it in the future?

If the child is still young, just give him a spanking?

No!

Just a beating would not make Wu Xizhen's memory last long.

In Qingji's heart, he had already thought of banishing the stubborn Wu Xi among the people for a few years!

If Wu Xi still can't change his character, Qing Ji doesn't mind pretending that he never gave birth to this son!

Anyway, Qing Ji has more than a dozen sons, and there is no shortage of young master Xi!

…

After leaving Beiliang, Qingji's patrol team went all the way north, crossed the Huai River, and met with Teng, Xue, Zhu, Ju, Tan, Zhongwu, Cai, and Xu's eight vassal states. After a brief meeting with Zhongwu,

, and then patrolled all the way west and south.

When passing by Juchao, Qingji, who was visiting local officials and people, suddenly received an urgent report.

The prince of Chu successfully attacked the six towns of Wu with thousands of soldiers and horses. He won a great victory and defeated the six towns. He further conquered Qianyi and defeated the Wu army. Xiong Zidan, the general of Wu's expedition to the west, fled in panic.

Upon learning of the battle report, Qing Ji immediately summoned three of his closest ministers, Sun Wu, Fan Li and Wu Zixu, to the side hall in Juchao to discuss matters.

The surroundings of the side hall are already heavily guarded, with one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps. Without Qingji's order, everyone is strictly prohibited from entering or exiting.

After hearing the battle report, Sun Wu and Fan Li couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of smiles.

Wu Zixu, who had no idea about it, knelt down towards Qing Ji in horror and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

"What are you guilty of?"

"At that time, I was grateful for the kindness of Prince Jian of Chu, so I took his son Sheng and fled to the Kingdom of Wu. I carefully cultivated and supported him. I never thought that this son would be so rebellious and dare to assassinate the king."

"Now I'm still using my troops to seize Liu and Qian. I know that my sin is serious. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Wu Zixu kowtowed his head to the ground again.

"Zixu, you are not guilty. Please get up."

Immediately, Qingji told Wu Zixu the whole story.

Regarding the matter of Young Master Sheng assassinating Wang Shajia, it was Qing Ji who was behind it to add fuel to the flames.

This is all to make the prince win the trust of the Chu people.

In fact, Xiong Sheng did it!

Gongzi Sheng, who was named a doctor of the Ying family, took advantage of the time when Wu replaced Wu Zixu and disbanded the border army. He secretly asked Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, for orders to send troops to raid Wu's six cities and Qian cities, so as to obtain two important military positions.

Important town.

After getting Xiong Zhen's permission, Gongzi Sheng led thousands of troops and captured Liuyi and Qianyi seemingly by surprise.

And the hand behind all this is Qing Ji!

Qingji was not reluctant to give up two important border towns.

Therefore, Xiong Zidan led his army and fought a fake battle with Gongzi Sheng there, so that Gongzi Sheng could achieve greater results.

It is conceivable that the Chu State, which had fought against the Wu State for many years and suffered repeated defeats, must have been jubilant after achieving such a great victory.

For the great meritorious minister Gongzi Sheng, the King of Chu will definitely give him a generous reward.
