Only crises really bring about change in a country.

The favored people, after seeing Goujian's carriage, took the initiative to surround them. They already knew what Goujian was going to do. At this time, they gathered around and took out their best things, wanting to thank Goujian for the new changes.

Goujian kept evading, but the people kept seeing him off, and they didn't leave for a long time.

This is the simple heart of the people.

Chapter 160 Announcement Ceremony

It was impossible for the soldiers and civilians to send Goujian down all the time. After everyone came to Guling, the border location, they gradually left.

For the next journey, Goujian, Wen Zhong, and Fan Li traveled together.

at the same time.

The news that Wu State directly defeated Yue State and made Yue State a vassal spread.

For example, when Chu State heard the news, it was very surprised. Almost immediately after receiving the news, it quickly increased the deployment of troops on the Wu-Chu border, and discussed with its own officials how to deal with the possible invasion of Wu State.

Shen Baoxu, a doctor of the state of Chu, also heard about Shilong at this time.

After hearing the news, Shen Baoxu was a little bit embarrassed, but he couldn't do anything.

He is the only person who witnessed Fu Hai's strength with his own eyes, so he has some doubts about the relationship between Wu and Yue, and plans to investigate more about how to deal with this matter.

Between Wu and Chu, there are also some small countries. After hearing about this incident, they all decided to offer gifts and surrender.

As long as you surrender before Wu Guo attacks you, you won't have to worry about being attacked.

They also sent envoys, intending to go to Wu to celebrate Wu Wang Fuchai.

The location is back to the great city of Helu.

After Wu Wang Fu Chai watched Shi Long transport back to Wu, he first announced his victory in front of his father's tomb.

And lit the incense, saying that he had avenged himself

As for the stone dragon Fuhai, since the body of the stone dragon is too big, it is difficult to hide it.

Therefore, Fu Chai did not hide it from everyone, and publicized wantonly, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had snatched the stone dragon back from Yue.

However, the totem of Wu State is the dragon, and most of the people in Wu State showed respect to Fuhai, the stone dragon, and would do some acts of worship.

Wu Wang Fuchai could not act against the will of the people, and had to start a project to build a suitable palace to put Fuhai.

For this reason, Wu State further depleted its national power.

After Gou Jian came to the state of Wu, King Fu Chai of Wu immediately summoned Gou Jian.

At this time, Goujian, who was dressed in coarse linen, deliberately tossed himself into a mess, and even disheveled his hair.

In this deliberate effort, he tried to restore his image.

With that appearance, there are some contradictions.

After Fucha saw Goujian, he felt a little proud in his heart.

The current Goujian is completely different from the Goujian he saw before, but it just fits his imagination.

See this side, just the beginning.

All this needs to be held in a ceremony to announce it to the world.

Now is the spring and autumn period.

Almost all countries are hoping to gain the status of hegemony.

No one wants to unify all countries.

After all, Wu Yue belonged to a country far away from the Central Plains, and was despised by countries such as Qi and Jin in the Central Plains.

Wu Wang Fucha also wanted to spread his reputation through such an announcement.

In order to carry out this and the announcement ceremony, Fu Chai handed over all the arrangements to Bo Pi.

Time passes day by day.

At a suitable time, after envoys from other countries appeared in Wu, the ceremony officially began.

Fu Chai first announced the heaven, earth and the ancestral temple, and told all the envoys and the people about his victory.

then,

In front of everyone, Fucha summoned Goujian and his courtiers again.

Gou Jian fell to the ground, and the courtier stood behind him, listening to Fu Chai's instructions.

This is the ritual of surrender.

"The widow heard that a chaste woman does not marry, a ruined family, a benevolent and virtuous country, an extinct country. Today, the king of Yue has no way, the country is about to perish, the society is ruined, the life is dead, and the world is laughing. The son and the master are both Slave, come and return to Wu, isn't it contemptible? I want to forgive my son's sin, so that he can change his mind and abandon Yue and return to Wu?"

On such a formal occasion, Fu Chai also spoke his lines.

Shape him as a Mingjun image.

In order not to cause trouble in such a performance, Wu Wang Fucha did not even let Wu Zixu appear.

He knew that Wu Zixu didn't like Gou Jian, and he was afraid that Wu Zixu would do something reckless.

"I would like to listen to the teaching of the king, and I will definitely correct it!"

Gou Jian lowered his head in front of everyone.

This is an intolerable humiliation for a prince.

Gou Jian did this, and also accumulated his own anger in his heart.

just,

No matter how angry he was, his face was calm.

In the corner of Goujian's vision, it was a stone dragon.

Now Gou Jian looked at this stone dragon, thinking that he could not fail Fu Hai, his father Yun Chang, and his subjects in Yue Kingdom.

The ceremony continued after such a conversation.

The historian is also recording the conversation between the two people in the history book.

On this occasion, Fu Chai also talked about his arrangement for Gou Jian.

In Fucha's view, Goujian was the culprit who killed his father Helu, so he asked Goujian to guard his father's tomb.

But Gou Jian readily agreed to this arrangement.

Among the Wu people who participated in the ceremony, there were also people who were near Lize back then.

After they saw Shilong, they remembered Fu Hai who killed a large number of man-eating monster fish.

Although Helu and Wu Zixu destroyed the Fishbone Temple many times back then, this did not affect these people at all to remember Fuhai in their hearts.

They looked at Shilong with chains on his body, and they all had bad thoughts in their hearts.

Some unwanted rumors even spread among the people.

The announcement ceremony was over, and everything returned to normal.

Goujian and his wife were sent near Helu's tomb.

Tiger Hill.

Here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is the location of Helu's tomb.

It is said that in the year when Helu was buried, a white tiger appeared on Huqiu Mountain.

So the place changed its name too.

Although there are soldiers' camps and some craftsmen near Huqiu Mountain, there is no place for Goujian to live.

In order to live better in this place, Gou Jian had to build his own house by himself.

During the process of digging out stones piece by piece, Goujian sometimes thought of Shilong.

Thinking that Shi Long would rather turn into a stone to help him, Gou Jian was filled with the drive for revenge, and took this as an opportunity to hone himself.

And in the court hall of Wu State, some changes have gradually taken place.

Wu officials are not fools, and soon discovered that Fu Chai, the king of Wu, was alienating Wu Zixu intentionally or unintentionally.

In this case, Bo Pi was valued more and more.

As a result, many officials and nobles also focused on Bo Chu.

For the time being, Wen Zhong and Fan Li were also in the court of Wu State. In addition to providing Bo Pi with some means of how to deal with Wu Zixu, they would also send news through spies to learn about the situation in Yue State.

Only by governing Yue State well and continuing to imprint Goujian's influence, can Goujian overcome difficulties and win new battles after Gou Jian returns to Yue State.

There are many hidden confrontations between Wu and Yue who should be calm.

Chapter 161

Spring goes to winter, and five years pass quickly.

At this time, to the north of Wu State, Qi State in the Central Plains encountered a bad thing.

Qi Jinggong, the king of Qi, died.

And the prince who was supposed to inherit the throne was young, so those ministers were all fighting for power.

This made Fu Chai, king of Wu, see the opportunity, and he planned to attack Qi.

During these three years, Wu Wang Fucha also tried to use troops against Chu.

However, after using troops against Chu State last time, Chu State's military strength has also increased, and the tentative attack was not smooth.

and,

Compared with Chu State, Fucha is more fond of the Central Plains.

Only by becoming the overlord of the Central Plains can one truly prove one's ability and identity.

This is something that has been verified by the kings of other countries. Only by aspiring to the Central Plains can it be recorded in the history books.

This year, Goujian has been back to Yue for a year.

During three years of slavery.

Gou Jian was the coachman of Wu Wang Fucha during the day, and returned to Huqiu to guard Helu's tomb at night.

It went on like this for three years.

And in three years, after Wen Zhong and Fan Li's lobbying, Wu Wang Fu Chai also believed that the existence of Gou Jian would make Yue State worse and worse.

The worse Gou Jian was, the easier it would be for Fu Chai, king of Wu, to rule Yue.

In fact, after Gou Jian returned to China, although his stupid appearance was not as Fu Chai imagined, after returning to China, Gou Jian still claimed to be a courtier of Fu Chai.

The first thing he did when he returned to the country was to collect all the beauties from all over the world, saying that he would pay tribute to Fu Chai.

And there is the jewel of the world.

It is the appearance of a courtier through and through.

Even the soldiers of Yue State were dispersed by Gou Jian on his own initiative, leaving only a small number of personal guards.

No matter how you look at it, the country of Yue can't make a splash.

This is also the reason why Wu Wang Fucha gradually let go of his vigilance towards Goujian.

Leave Gou Jian's body.

It is said that after Qi Jinggong passed away, Fu Chai wanted to start a war, so he called all the officials and nobles to discuss this matter.

After hearing about this incident, all the courtiers, including Bo Pi, expressed their approval.

During Goujian's three years as a slave, a large amount of gold and silver was sent from Yue to Wu.

Wu's national strength is no longer comparable.

And the benefit of winning the Yue State made all the courtiers not hate the war, but tried to make the war bring wealth to themselves.

Everyone agrees with Wu Wang Fucha, only one person holds an opposing opinion.

This person is the doctor Wu Zixu.
