Chapter 547: Death of Samurai
At this moment, in the hall.
Daji poured a cup of tea for Ying Yuan, and then massaged his shoulders.
"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"
Ying Yuan said bluntly: "Even if Daji wants to be the empress, what's the harm? I will let her be."
"However, a hundred years later, the Wu Kingdom will be named Ying."
Daji was not surprised by this answer.
"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, who will lead the troops? And how many troops will be needed?"
This is a science.
The only reason the Qin Dynasty could send troops was that the warrior died and they went to pay their respects.
There are certain rules to follow when deciding who to send to offer condolences.
The number of accompanying soldiers to be sent for condolences is even more particular.
If there are too many, people will think that the Qin Dynasty has a heart to bully the weak and is not gentlemanly enough.
If it is less, it will feel like Daqin is not sincere.
After all, Wu State was a vassal state of Qin.
Moreover, it would be difficult to accomplish anything if we only sent a few thousand people.
Ying Yuan said with a slight headache: "If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed Lu Bu to withdraw his troops from Wu State."
Daji smiled and said, "It's not too late to send troops now."
Ying Yuan asked, "What do you think of sending General Pan Feng with 100,000 troops?"
Daji thought about it seriously, and finally shook her head and said:
"Three hundred thousand, let's just say we're worried that after Wu Shiqi's death, neighboring countries will take advantage of the situation. No one, inside or outside the government, will say anything against our Great Qin."
"Pan Feng is a good candidate, but he still needs a counselor."
Ying Yuan said seriously, "Let's go to Xie An. He has been on many expeditions with the army and has enough experience."
Daji nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."
Now that the decision has been made, it doesn't matter who the Wu Kingdom belongs to now.
Who the future belongs to is what they should care about.
at this time.
Wu State, Jingzhao Prefecture.
Inside the palace.
Crown Prince Wu Yuanqing and Wu Meiniang both knelt in front of Wu Shiqi's bed.
Outside the palace, all the civil and military officials were kneeling.
Wu Shiqi has been seriously ill for nearly a month.
At first, I could still eat.
In the end, I couldn't even drink water.
He could only watch the servants who served him wipe the corners of his mouth with a brocade cloth dipped in water.
It can be said that Wu Shiqi's death was already doomed.
It's just a matter of time.
Judging from the time, Wu Shiqi's life is almost coming to an end.
It’s just today and tomorrow.
So, at this moment, all the officials were kneeling outside the palace gate.
Wu Shiqi's illness was not sudden.
As early as when Ying Yuan and Li Shimin fought the decisive battle, his health was already not very good.
After holding on for half a year, I finally couldn't hold on any longer.
At the beginning of a serious illness, the patient would cough up blood and sputum every day, and the condition was incurable.
Suddenly, the warrior lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes and saw his son and daughter.
He felt a little relieved.
When Wu Yuanqing saw Wu Shiqi waking up, he hurried forward with tears in his eyes.
"Father..."
Wu Shiqi's face turned pale. He waved his hands and said with difficulty:
"You go out first. Father has something to tell your sister..."
Hearing the voice, Wu Yuanqing was shocked. He turned his head and looked at Wu Meiniang deeply.
He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He obeyed the warrior's order and left the hall.
Afterwards, Wu Shiqi solemnly said to Wu Meiniang:
"Will you help your brother govern the Wu Kingdom well?"
Wu Meiniang said frankly: "If my brother has the ability to govern the country, I, as your sister, will naturally do my best to help him."
The ability to govern a country...
After hearing these four words, Wu Shiqi had a general idea in his mind.
To be honest, in the entire Wu family, only Wu Hua, who expanded the territory, could be called a hero.
In addition, the huge Wu family is far inferior to a single woman named Wu Meiniang.
Especially Wu Yuanqing, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, was not a wise leader at all.
However, Wu Sansi does have some talent.
But he is still young after all and cannot take on such a big responsibility.
Wu Shiqi pursed his lips and said:
"Be kind to your brothers and the descendants of the Wu family, okay?"
Wu Meiniang said sternly: "My daughter was born into the Wu family, so naturally I have to think about the Wu family."
Only then did Wu Shiqi nodded in relief.
Then, he asked Wu Meiniang to go out, called Wu Yuanqing, and told him:
"Your sister has Qin Guo standing behind her."
"Even if our Wu Kingdom puts all its efforts into it, it will never be a match for the Qin Kingdom."
"After your father's death, you must not offend your sister and must be tolerant in everything."
Wu Yuanqing frowned and said, "What should we do if she seizes power?"
Now, in the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court, Wu Meiniang's prestige is far higher than that of Wu Yuanqing.
Unfortunately, Wu Meiniang was a woman.
Wu Shiqi said earnestly: "If you want power, just give it to her..."
"She is a woman and will not affect your status..."
"Even if she has power, she will do her best to serve the country."
Wu Yuanqing said in a deep voice, "Father, don't worry, I have made all the necessary preparations."
"If Mei Niang wants me, her brother, to be just a puppet, I definitely won't agree."
"It's better than..."
Before he could finish his words, he was glared at by Wu Shiqi.
If the warrior was healthy, he would definitely slap him a few times and scold him for being disobedient and not living up to his expectations.
But the warrior couldn't.
