Chapter 175: The weak country has no true master
"Did I find out on purpose? It seems that I didn't plan to be really bad for me, but my original plan was probably going to be changed. It's really bad to rob the robbery and the transaction is so chaotic!" Chu He thought in his heart, but he said with an extremely gentle smile on his face: "What are you saying? The king wants more jewelry and jade as a tribute, so it's okay to just say it."
Ji Gui didn't take Chu He's words seriously, but sighed and frowned, and said: "I know, you look down on me! But what can I do? The land is enfeoffed, and once the princes unite and no longer pay tribute, they can't afford to support so many troops. Once the army is reduced, they will not be able to intimidate all sides. So far, they are poor and weak, until they are in name only."
"I originally wanted to issue unified currency in the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty to seek survival, but the princes and kings repeatedly bullyed me and refused to recognize the value of the currency. They even secretly sent soldiers to rob Luoyi."
"At present, I can only sell these utensils left by my ancestors in exchange for money and protect myself."
After a few words, Chu He knew what Ji Gui was thinking.
He was afraid that he was not only trying to protect himself, but also dissatisfied.
If he was Ji Gui, once he had a lot of wealth, he would immediately recruit soldiers and secretly buy a large amount of food and grass to hoard them, and then find a reason to send troops to the neighboring Zheng State, and then embezzle small countries such as Chen State, Cai State, Song State, and Wei State.
Of course, Ji Gui's self-protection may be true.
Although these small countries are small, Zheng State has Zichan, Chen State has Taoist ancestor, Wei State has Nan Zi. This Nan Zi is also a friend of Confucius, and it is not easy to annihilate it.
It can only be said that a weak country has no real and mediocre leader. It is natural that a country can exist without being annexed by a big country like a hungry wolf and a tiger.
Just like the Ji Gui in front of you, did Chu He underestimate him?
Just in the magic car, Chu He and King Ji Gui of Zhou made many unknown py transactions, so I won’t mention them for now.
When the magic car was released, King Ji Gui of Zhou gave the fox fur as a gift to Chu He.
It is conceivable that Ji Gui, who has always been stingy, can give up such a treasure, how much benefit he has gained from Chu He. Of course, it is still a matter of opinion who takes advantage of this transaction and who suffers losses.
Overall, what Chu He has paid was just some fake jewelry and jade worth less than 300,000 soft girls in total.
What's more, the money for buying fake jewelry and jade was not paid by Chu He. He was almost out of business and made money by nothing.
Have enough wine and meals, and the guests enjoy the fun.
Chu He and others were arranged to live in Xinghe Hall, which was originally the residence of Gongzi Chao.
Of course, now Young Master Chao wants to temporarily move out of Xinghe Hall and go to the small attic by the lake for a while to "begging" for one night.
Seeing the young master moving in and out to direct the eunuchs, Chu He walked over and said, "But I'm disturbing the young master!"
The young master smiled gently and said without any grudges: "It is my blessing to arrange all the distinguished guests to live in my place, so how can I disturb you?"
Chu He nodded and suddenly said, "I and the young master hit it off at first sight. We have some words to talk about it... The king favors the young master too much, but I am afraid that the young master will be dissatisfied. Once the king arrives every year, I am afraid that the young master will be in a worrying situation."
When the young master Chao heard this, he was stunned at first, but then his face was full of bitterness.
He didn't know this.
In fact, Ji Gui had long thought of abandoning his legitimate son, Gongzi Meng, and turning to make him a culprit. However, although this small Zhou Kingdom was irrelevant, Confucians looked at it tightly and did not allow them to mess up their etiquette at all.
After all, Confucian etiquette originated from Zhou. If the Zhou king was rude, it would also be a blow to the foundation of Confucianism.
"How could Chao not know what Gongzixian said? Chao was not interested in fighting for it, just fearing..." Halfway through, he wanted to speak but stopped. Obviously, Gongzi Chao suddenly woke up. Chu He was not the one who could really explain his thoughts. Just as Chu He said, their friendship was still shallow.
Chu He didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "If I can overthrow Xiong Ju's rule and become the King of Chu, if the young master is in trouble in the future, I will definitely help you."
When the young master Chao heard this, he was shocked again. He could no longer understand why Chu He attached so much importance to him and even made a promise directly.
Although he was puzzled, the young master Chao was still moved. He chatted with Chu He for a long time before leaving reluctantly.
After the young master Chao walked away with a group of eunuchs, Jiang Xiaobai walked to Chu He and asked, "Why are you so concerned about this young master Chao? Although he has been the King of Zhou for a few days in the future, he is also a short-lived ghost."
Chu Hedao: "I am 80% sure that before Ji Gui died, he would hand over the jade ring to this young master for custody. As long as I become the King of Chu, he remembers my promise today and flees to Chu. By then... what I didn't get today will come to my door again."
good!
Chu He was still unwilling to give up the jade rings of the Zhou Dynasty, the eight horses, the magic car, and the treasures in the small and medium-sized worlds of the magic car.
Although they are all false, if you really buy it, the probability of winning will be greatly increased when the copy is settled.
In the Zhou Dynasty palace and Ji Gui's home court, Chu He did not dare to seize the jade ring or the magic car.
If it is in Chu State, it will be his home court, and the entire Chu State will become his barrier.
Although the high-level forces in this world are still covered with a thick fog in Chu He's eyes and cannot be seen clearly. However, Chu He has already summarized some rules for the operating principles of high-level forces.
To truly explain the reasons for the constraints of high-strength forces, Chu He may get the answer from the saint after meeting a certain saint.
As for why Chu He is so sure, some powerful forces are bound. This is completely nonsense.
The inconvenience of the Chu elders of Zhurong Palace and the huge power hidden by King Ji Gui of Zhou are enough to illustrate many problems.
If King Ling of Chu could control the elders of Chu, he would not have been usurped by Xiong Ju and killed by Chu He. If King Ji Gui of Zhou could use that powerful force unscrupulously, he would not have been forced to sell ancestral weapons by mere "robbers".
According to Chu He's imagination, perhaps the hundreds of saints who incarnated in the world and experimented with their own avenues, they also set certain regulations to restrict the emergence of high-end forces in this world, so as to prevent anyone from destroying the chess game and directly overturning the table.
"What if this young master ascended the throne successfully and became the King of Zhou?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
Although it is recorded in history that after being defeated by the Jin army, Gongzi Chao fled to Chu State with a large amount of Zhou Dynasty material, Ji Gui now has a large amount of "wealth" sent by Chu River. It only takes a certain amount of time to restore a certain amount of vitality to the Zhou Dynasty. It is unknown whether the army will be defeated at that time.
"So I need you to contact Ji Gui's other princes quietly and give them a little "help". When necessary, they need to stand up and give this young man a knife in the back." Chu He said in a cold tone.
"You are so sinister... Others have even given us the palace to live!" Jiang Xiaobai shivered and said.
