In Qingji's view, Fu Chai was indeed a hero of the previous generation.

Whether it is Fu Chai in history or Fu Chai today - he is a hero in life and a hero in death.

This is the most objective evaluation of Fu Chai!

"Brother Ji, thank you very much."

"Fu Chai is waiting for you under Jiuquan. I hope you won't die young, too early!"

Fu Chai smiled mockingly to himself, and then, escorted by two swordsmen and axemen, he slowly walked towards the tower.

After many years, Fu Cha once again called Qing Ji "Brother Ji", recognizing that the latter was his elder brother.

This made Qingji feel very emotional for a moment!

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

All the hatred between the two people will be wiped out with the death of Fu Chai and disappear!

Qingji said that the most honorable way to die was to drink poisoned wine or hang yourself.

Because according to the truth, if the king of a country or the emperor dies, seeing the light of blood is considered "unlucky".

Fu Chai finally committed suicide by taking poisonous wine!

Qingji also followed his promise and asked someone to make an agarwood coffin to collect Fu Chai's body. Then he built a large bluestone tomb and buried some gold, silver, jade and other funerary objects.

Qingji felt a little sympathy for Fu Chai.

After all, Fu Chai conquered the huge Lingnan land, while Qing Ji had to eat ready-made food.

So to a certain extent, Fu Chai made great contributions to the State of Wu!

So much so, that on the day when Fu Chai's bluestone tomb was completed, and when Qing Ji was about to leave Juwu, he personally led his ministers to express condolences to Fu Chai as a sign of respect.

Qing Ji's behavior really frightened Yao Li.

Terrified!

…

After Fu Chai's death, Qing Ji immediately ordered the formation of a 30,000-strong Southern Expedition Corps to take over and garrison in Lingnan.

Half of the Southern Expedition Corps were Yue people who were good at mountain warfare.

The "Yue people" here are young adults who have lived in the land of Wu and Yue for generations.

Qingji appointed Sun Wu as his general and his sister Sun Li as his deputy, and together they led the Southern Expedition to the south.

Because Sun Li was determined to be a woman like the goddess of war in the Shang Dynasty, Qing Ji also wanted to give it a try and made Sun Li come true.

Because conquering a female war goddess can more or less satisfy some of Qing Ji's desires...

This was destined to be a smooth war, because more than half of the tribal leaders of Baiyue living in the land of Lingnan were basically controlled by Qing Ji.

With these people serving as the leading party, how can the war not go smoothly?

I am afraid that before the Wu army arrived, the local indigenous people had already surrendered.

As for the captured Nanman soldiers, Qingji was not polite either.

Every Nanman soldier must serve for ten years before he can be released and become a Li Shu in the true sense of the Wu Kingdom!

If it weren't for the excessive number of demoted soldiers, Qing Ji would have planned to demote them all as official slaves.

Because the southern barbarian army burned Gumi City to the ground, the impact was too bad.

Although many Gumi people survived, no one dared to settle in the originally prosperous city.

In Qingji's vision, the land south of Lingnan would also become a place where Wu State would exile prisoners and surrender.

After all, this large barren land requires decades, even hundreds of years of continuous cultivation before it can achieve a certain level of civilization.

This still requires continuous investment from Wu State before we can gain anything!

After leaving Juwu, Qingji's patrol team patrolled various places in Kuaiji County.

On the Liuyu carriage, Qingji sat there with his eyes closed and meditating. Opposite him sat his two sons, Wu Hong and Wu Xi.

As if feeling bored, Qingji opened his eyes, looked at the two sons in front of him who were practicing calligraphy, and said slowly: "Hong'er, Xi'er, how do you think I should treat Yaoli?"

Every time Qing Ji asked Er Zi, he seemed to have a deep meaning.

Therefore, Wu Hong and Wu Xi couldn't help lowering their heads and thinking secretly.

After a long time, Wu Hong, the eldest son, was the first to say: "Father, I think that although this person has bad conduct and looks like a master eater, after all, he has made great contributions to our country of Wu, so we must give him a heavy reward."

"Why don't my father make him a senior official, with a settlement of 500 households, or grant him any official position under the Nine Ministers?"

When Qing Ji heard this, he nodded slightly, turned his attention to Young Master Xi, and asked, "Xier, what do you think?"

"Father, I think what my brother said is inappropriate!"

Wu Xi shook his head and said: "Yao Li is not a kind person. He can betray Fu Chai. How can he guarantee that one day he will not betray his father or our country of Wu?"

"In my opinion, if you find an opportunity to privately give Yao Li some poisonous wine, if he doesn't drink the poisonous wine, then..."

Gongzi Xi made a "click" gesture.

The meaning is self-evident, that is to send people to kill and leave!

But, is it so easy to kill Yaoli?

Before Qing Ji could say anything, Wu Hong said: "Brother Xi, how can you be so reckless? To our country of Wu, he is indeed a meritorious minister. If my father is good at killing meritorious ministers, wouldn't it be chilling to people's hearts?"

"Humph, brother, you are so kind to a woman!"

Young Master Xi said disdainfully: "How can a woman's benevolence achieve great things?"

There is no doubt that Wu Xi is a ruthless person and decisive in doing things.

Compared to Wu Xi, the eldest brother Wu Hong appears to be too benevolent and righteous, and he is cautious about doing things.

Qingji declined to comment on the statements made by his two sons.

However, Qingji had his own considerations in mind!

If this were placed in the dynasties after the Qin and Han Dynasties, Qingji would definitely choose to secretly send assassins to kill Yaoli, or simply give him a glass of poisonous wine to end the matter.

However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, although etiquette and music collapsed, people were bound by a certain moral bottom line.

If you try to stay away from this kind of person, everyone in the world will abandon him.

However, just for this reason, Qing Ji wanted to kill Yaoli, which would make people laugh!

Regarding Yaoli, Qingji could not but give him a reward, but he could not reuse it.

The treatment that Yaoli can enjoy is the same as that of Robber Zhi.

If Li wants to be able to live in peace and contentment, Qingji can guarantee that he will have no worries about food and clothing, prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life.

However, if Yaoliruo doesn't follow the rules and wants to betray himself, the three-meter-high grass on his grave will be his fate!

…

In the ninth year of King Wu Qingji's reign, that is, June 505 BC, Qingji's tour lasted for more than half a year and finally ended.

Qingji was not idle when he returned to Jinling.

Because there are still many government affairs waiting for him to deal with, and at the same time, some policies are also waiting for Qingji to implement and implement.

In the Fengtian Hall, the ministers were sitting on both sides. Qingji, who was wearing a black crown and a flat crown on his head, was also sitting upright on the throne.

"Dazai, how many disabled people are there in our country of Wu? Have you already counted them?"

Dazai Jizha, who was asked, quickly stood up and bowed: "Reporting to your Majesty, the veterans and other ministers have already coordinated the number of reports from various places, and the newly established Department of Health Care has made preliminary statistics."

"There are more than 30,000 disabled people in our country of Wu!"
