Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 730
Zhao Bolu?

Looking at the young man in front of him, Qingji knew in his heart what role the other party played in history.

Zhao Bolu can be said to be the eldest son of Zhao Yang.

According to the patriarchal system, Zhao Bolu should inherit the position of suzerain.

However, Zhao Jianzi (Zhao Yang) felt that Bolu's qualifications were mediocre and not enough to take on important responsibilities, so he let his concubine Zhao Wuji (Zhao Xiangzi) inherit his official position and title and succeed him as the leader of the Zhao family.

However, Zhao Xiangzi thought that he was not the direct son of the Zhao family and should still be in the direct line, so he made Zhao Zhou, the son of his elder brother Zhao Bolu, as his heir and named him Dai Chengjun.

Because Zhao Zhou died early, Zhao Wuji appointed Zhao Zhou's son Zhao Huan as his successor...

At this time, Qingji was still quite hesitant about Zhao Bolu's appearance.

"Bolu, where is your father?"

"Report to King Wu, my father..."

Zhao Bolu's tears fell, and he replied heartbroken: "My father knew that he had committed a serious crime, and he had no face to face the King of Wu, nor the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao family, so he set himself on fire last night."

"My father feels the benevolence of King Wu, and hopes that he can sacrifice the legacy of Jinyang City with his death, so that King Wu can let the whole family go, and don't kill any more."

Zhao Yang, dead?
Qingji, who learned about this, still didn't want to believe it.

However, in this situation, it was not convenient for Qingji to expose, so he patted Zhao Bolu on the shoulder and said kindly, "Bolu, please forgive me."

"The widow has always convinced people with virtue. The widow believes that when a man is about to die, his words are good, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad!"

"Since your father has passed away, the past should be over."

"Bo Lu, you will not lose your position as a minister in Zhao State in the future."

Hearing this, Zhao Bolu immediately looked grateful, bowed to Qingji and said, "Thank you King Wu!"

Qingji carefully looked at Zhao Bolu in front of him, and he knew the answer in his heart.

After all, Zhao Bolu is too immature to be able to control his emotions freely.

How to become a qualified politician?
It is not difficult to say, easy is not easy.

In a word-

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

A qualified politician always has superb acting skills.

And Zhao Bolu's acting skills, just like the little fresh meat stars of later generations, can only do "moaning without illness", which is extremely poor.

After just a few glances, Qingji was basically sure that Zhao Bolu was acting and Zhao Yang was not dead.

With the death of Zhao Yang and the fall of Jinyang City, this war seems to be coming to an end.

At this time, in a side hall in Jinyang City, Qingji was sitting with Grand Sima Wu Zixu, Yushi Dafu Fan Li, and Yushi Zhongcheng Bo Tong to discuss important matters.

"Second and third sons, the widow suspects that Zhao Yang is still alive, and he cheated his death."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and Bo Tong couldn't help but look at each other.

Bo Tong was very surprised and asked: "Why is your lord so sure that Zhao Yang is not dead? Seeing that the defeat has been decided, Zhao Yang knows that he cannot be forgiven, and he is not willing to drag himself out. It is also expected that he will set himself on fire."

Hearing this, Qing Ji chuckled lightly and said, "Bo Tong, you still underestimated Zhao Yang."

"Who is Zhao Yang? A generation of heroes! Such a person will not give up lightly."

"As long as he is alive, it is impossible to kill himself..."

As the saying goes, the person who knows himself best is his enemy.

In the same way, Qing Ji knew Zhao Yang quite well.

If it were Qing Ji, even when he was at the end of his rope and desperate, he would not choose to commit suicide.

Because until the last moment, no one knows what will happen.

Just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, killed himself in Wujiang, Li Qingzhao's sentence "Being a hero in life, and a hero in death" became a true portrayal of Xiang Yu's death.

If Xiang Yu crosses the Wujiang River and makes a comeback in Jiangdong, it is still unknown whether he can regain his strength and continue to compete with Liu Bang for hegemony in the world and win the final victory!

Of course, the hope is still relatively slim.

At this moment, Wu Zixu frowned uncontrollably, and said, "Your Majesty, I think that if Zhao Yang is still alive, he must dig three feet deep in Jinyang City to find him!"

"This man has great talent and general strategy. If he is still alive, he will be a great enemy of our Wu Kingdom."

"If Zhao Yang's death is suspended, he will make a comeback in Zhao State after our army retreats. Relying on Zhao Ji's ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop Zhao Yang's attack."

"Moreover, Zhao Yang is a natural ally with Jun Han and Jun Wei, and has no suspicions with Jun Zhi."

"If Zhao Yang replaces Zhao Ji and becomes the king of Zhao State, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to the King..."

As soon as the words fell, before Qingji could speak, Fan Li who was sitting on the side said slowly, "Your Majesty, I don't think so."

"The current situation in the Six Jin Dynasty is complicated. There is me in you, and you in me. Its territory presents a criss-cross pattern, which can be described as a mess."

"The melee of the Six Jin Dynasty is inevitable. Even if Zhao Yang is very capable, relying on his own strength, I am afraid that he will be powerless!"

"Your Majesty, our goal has been achieved. Now the Jin Kingdom is falling apart and nothing remains."

"If my Wu army stays in the Six Jin Dynasty for a long time, I may be feared by the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty, and eventually they will attack our army."

"Furthermore, the State of Qi is already mobilizing its troops, and there is a threat to attack Jinling, the capital of the State of Wu, at any time. We must guard against it!"

"good."

This time Qingji was not stubborn.

Regarding what Fan Li said, Qingji thinks it is not unreasonable.

How can Qingji lose the big because of the small?

Previously, the reason why Qingji led the allied forces of the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty to attack Zhao Yang was that apart from wanting to eradicate Zhao Yang as a great enemy in one fell swoop, he also wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the Six Jin Dynasty.

However, the movement of the Qi country must be guarded against.

Qingji knew that with Sun Wu sitting in Jinling and tens of thousands of defenders, the city of Jinling must be impenetrable and the Qi army could not break through it.

It's just that the army of the enemy country approached the city and hit the door of the house. This is more or less a shame for Wu State, and it will further affect the people's livelihood of Wu State.

This is not what Qingji wants to see.

In this scuffle in the Central Plains, the one who took the biggest advantage was Wu Guo.

The State of Wu not only obtained Taolin Sai and Yindi, occupied the bridgehead of the Central Plains, and exposed King Ji of Luoyi, where Emperor Zhou was located, to his own soldiers, but also State of Wu had replaced the State of Jin and became a kingdom under the heavens. The recognized overlord!

A veritable hegemony!
At this point, what else is Qingji not satisfied with?
If you have to fight to the death with Zhao Yang and Qi Guo, it will not do Wu Guo any good.

In other words, by feigning death, Zhao Yang still gave each other a step down.

"The widow has decided that after three days, the class teacher will return to the imperial court!"

After some deliberation, Qingji finally made such a decision.
