Zixu Changqing

"Ji Zi, please come in."

Ji Zi went down the steps of the inner hall to greet them. After all these people had entered, he glanced at Wu Zixu and paused, "You come in too."

Wu Zixu followed in obediently, both sides saluted, and then sat down according to the seats of guest and host.

A man expressed his intention of coming: "Yesterday, we heard that Ji Zi will be exempted from taxes for the second half of the year. We didn't dare to comment on it. We all admire Ji Zi's benevolence and righteousness. It's just that when Ji Zi's income is lower than usual, we all follow suit. In addition, from time to time, when people encounter famine or waterlogging, they open warehouses for relief, and there is not much food left in the family. Now if you want to follow Jizi and get rid of it, I am afraid that there will not be enough food and rice left. If you collect taxes, you may be scolded to death by the people .”

The man smiled sweetly and spoke earnestly: "It's really difficult for us, so we had to face Ji Zi with a shy face, thinking that we should all collect [-]% of the tax? After all, Yanling also needs to raise soldiers, and it costs a lot. If the second half of the year is completely exempt, I am afraid life will be difficult."

Ji Zi picked up the tea bowl, his expression was blocked by the curling white smoke, he took a sip and called out, "Wu Yuan."

Wu Zixu stood up in front of everyone's eyes, saluted and said: "The member is here."

"What do you think?"

Wu Zixu was respectful, with a sincere expression: "Wu Yuan is stupid, and there is one thing that I don't understand. I hope Ji Zi and you can clarify."

"What's the puzzle?"

Wu Zixu said: "Ji Zi ordered that it would be free, but they came and asked for [-]%, so Wu Yuan was very puzzled——"

Wu Zixu said: "The Lord of Yanling, is he really Ji Zi?"

The man sneered: "Your Excellency, be careful, Yanling is the fief of Jizi, so naturally Jizi is the master."

"Then what else is there to say?" Wu Zixu chuckled, and then spoke clearly with a solemn face: "The matter of Yanling is not a concern for you. If there is not enough food and rice, the soldiers will be dismissed. If there is not enough-rice bran, wheat bran, turf, Tree roots, which can’t be eaten? Jizi doesn’t even worry about food, why are you bothering? The king gave you the land, and you don’t think of kindness, but you come to be the master of the king’s uncle. Do you still remember in your eyes what is high and low? Oh, let alone Uncle Wang, you all dare to violate the Zhou rituals set by King Wen of Zhou himself, and all of you can join hands to force others to raise taxes, something that the emperor and princes dare not, you dare, you are good Be bold!"

After shouting angrily, everyone fell silent, Wu Zixu turned to ask Ji Zi, and said in a loud voice: "There are no rules in the affairs of the world, such a madman who is immoral, disrespectful, and law-breaking, please report to the king, and the king will personally report to you." punish!"

"My lord, don't!"

"I was confused for a moment, and I asked Ji Zinian to spare us this time for the sake of taking care of the people in the past!"

"I beg Ji Zi to be merciful, my lord to be merciful..."

There was an uproar, some people stood up hastily, some people knelt down hastily, the courtroom became chaotic, Wu Zixu kept his eyes fixed, and raised his voice slightly: "It's noisy in the courtroom, don't think it's impolite!"

The hall was suddenly silent, and everyone was staring at Ji Zha.

Ji Zha lowered his head and took another sip of tea: "Such behavior should be reported truthfully, and the king will punish him severely."

Ji Zi glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and paused: "But this time, because you are the first offender and have meritorious service in the past, I will punish you for a small punishment. I will punish you to stay in Yanling for three days, and give them to the people from door to door. We send grain seeds, are you willing?"

"willing!"

Ji Zi also instructed: "In the future, you can't do anything immoral, disrespectful, or illegal. If you do it again, you will be punished severely!"

"promise."

After everyone retreated gratefully, when Ji Zi looked at Wu Zixu again, his eyes were a little calmer. No matter what, the two of them were black and white, and the matter in front of them was resolved very simply.

Such a person should probably have a good life, but it's a pity...

Wu Zixu turned around and saluted: "Ji Zi, Wu Yuan has something to trouble Ji Zi."

Ji Zha looked at the thing that pushed his nose and face, his eyes were not worried: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Ji Zi has a military handbook left by Qu Wu here, can you borrow a copy of it?"

Qu Wu is from the state of Chu. Later, because his wife Xia Ji defected to the state of Jin, he was sent to the state of Wu by the state of Jin to build the chariot formation from scratch. The letters he left behind are of great reference value, Ji Zha nodded: "Yes. I'll have someone send it to you later."

Wu Zixu was about to resign: "If there is no order, I will resign as an official."

"Mr. Wu."

Ji Zha opened his mouth slowly, speaking lightly and slowly: "The people of Wu State have suffered so much, they don't owe you anything. So, no matter how you want to revenge Chu State, I will never allow you to drag the people of Wu State to In the abyss. Do you understand?"

"Ji Zi is too worried."

Wu Zixu's voice is not high, and there is a bit of hoarseness in his mellowness. It seems that he is always cautious and gentle when he speaks: "What I bring to Wu will be a strength and prosperity that has never been seen in 600 years. No one in the world hopes more than me. Wu Guo is strong. A new city will be built, a new canal will be opened, and a new law will be established. I hope that Jizi will take care of his health, and he will be able to witness all of this in the future."

From being an ignorant child to now approaching sixty years of age, Jizha has heard many similar words in the past few decades, but at this moment his heartstrings still tremble a little. This young man's expression is so calm that people feel that he really has It's kind of sure.

So he waved his hand and didn't say anything: "I remember your words, go down."

"promise."

Wu Zixu bowed and retreated, feeling quite surprised.

Ji Zi punished him by asking him to share porridge with Sun Changqing, and punished those people by asking them to personally deliver grain seeds to the people who were plowing.

As far as he saw the two punishments, Ji Zi punished him for giving porridge, and the punishment was second. It also allowed him to see the hard work of the people in distress, so that he would not be an official in the court and enjoy the support of the people of Wu, but he wanted to raise troops Just take revenge and leave all the people of Wu country behind.

Punish those people to personally deliver grain seeds to the people who are plowing. The punishment is also second. Those people will definitely get thanks from the people when they send grain seeds.

Then Ji Zi's thoughts are really rare.

Just after the rainstorm, Ji Zi, as the lord of Yanling, has all kinds of important affairs and tedious chores coming one after another every day.And he and those fief lords are probably not pleasing characters to Ji Zi.But Ji Zi still took care of them properly and tried his best in spite of his busy schedule. To achieve this level, would it take a lot of hard work?

But who is Ji Zi?He really didn't need to do this at all.He was born as the youngest son of the former king Shoumeng, and he was extremely honorable. Later, everyone brought the throne to him. As long as he nodded slightly, the throne would be his.

No one can compete with him.

Even if he were king, many people would not want to fight with him.

Just like Ji Guang.

Before Wu Zixu persuaded Ji Guang to give up the throne, it was Tu Jizha who refused to inherit the throne. Ji Guang's succession to the throne would be more reasonable and less controversial.

But this is actually a bit of a risk. What if Ji Zha really can't get used to Ji Guangshi's brother and directly takes over the throne in a fit of anger?

When it comes to the throne, one cannot be too careful.

But when Wu Zixu mentioned this matter, Ji Guang agreed smoothly. When talking about the "in case", Ji Guang showed a rare look of nostalgia on his face, and said that if Uncle Wang is willing, then give it to him, that seat It was originally his, so you can't kill your own uncle, can you?

Wu Zixu remembered Ji Zha at that time, and it was really not easy for Ji Guang to say these words.

Looking at it now, a superior person can do this for someone who is inferior to him. No wonder the former king Shoumeng insisted on letting his youngest son succeed him. No wonder no ministers in the court objected.

As many people have said, a born sage, Jizha!
