Chapter 107: A Conspiracy

There is a strange organization in Qi State, this organization is called the News Publishing House, and they publish some strange stories or national events every day.

Sometimes Huahu broke the news about the President of Qi, as well as the lace news of the national teacher.

A big event was published in today's newspapers.

The general meaning is that when the merchants of the Qi State were in the Wu State, they often suffered unfair treatment, including indiscriminate tax collection, unwarranted checks, and even beat one of the merchants.

This businessman is a disciple of an official family in the Qi State.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The students of Qi began a big march to ask the state to protect its people from harm abroad.

Originally, this matter was a trivial matter in the eyes of Wu State, Wu State valued agriculture over commerce, the status of merchants was very underground, and Wu State's taxes on the Venerable Master were also very heavy, and soldiers often extorted some merchants, which was a common thing.

This matter, after the operation of some people in Qi State with ulterior motives, was raised by the House of Representatives of Qi State.

The unanimous demand of everyone is to severely punish the murderer who beat and injured people, Wu Guo apologizes, and compensates.

Wu Guo ignored Qi Guo's request and expressed his incomprehension.

It's just a businessman, you hit it, you don't have anything to do at home, you don't farm well, come out to sell something.

Chen Fan had long known that Wu Guoguo was doing this, so he directly encouraged the students in Taixue to conduct another march, and this time, both the students and those businessmen joined in.

They demanded that their country take tough measures against the state of Wu, or else they would not start work.

The president of Qi panicked in an instant, and after a series of studies, Qi brazenly sent troops, and 100,000 troops with as much equipment as possible were displayed on the border of Wu.

If Wu Guo didn't apologize and compensate, he would take action himself and directly kill the soldier who ordered the beating to take revenge.

In the capital of Wu State, the emperor and Sun Manlou, the master of the Bingmen, are discussing what to do!

"Qi Guo is a hooligan, what kind of attitude is this? For the sake of a businessman, we don't have to be afraid of them, I think they are just scaring us, our Wu State still has 800,000 troops waiting for them!" Sun Manlou was not afraid of this warning at all, he thought that Qi Guo could not make a big move because of a businessman.

On the third day of tension between the two sides, the state of Qi finally made a move.

The people of Wu State did not take Qi Guo's warning to heart at the beginning, but only maintained a daily state of vigilance.

Who knows, the State of Qi actually sent troops brazenly, and within an hour, it defeated the 100,000 troops displayed on the border by the State of Wu, and the loss of the State of Qi was only less than 3,000 people.

The Qi troops advanced very quickly, occupied the border city of Wu in a short time, and began to build the city wall, preparing to defend the city for a long time.

"Bastard, the people of Qi are doing it on purpose!" King Wu split his table in half with a sword.

This didn't relieve his anger, because he saw at that time that Qi would definitely send troops, but that damn old man, Sun Manlou, didn't listen to his advice and insisted that Qi would not send troops.

Now that the Qi State has occupied one of its own cities, this old man is better and has hid at home.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace saw that their masters were angry, and they didn't dare to come out, and those who could avoid it hid all hidden, and the others were hidden in the dark.

There was only one little eunuch, he didn't hide, he just stood beside the emperor, although he was already scared and trembled, but he still didn't hide.

"Sun Liang, do you say that this king is so incompetent? I have long expected that the Qi Kingdom will send troops, but that old man doesn't believe this king, now it's good, this crime of losing the city is all blamed on my head!"

King Wu didn't think that the little eunuch beside him could say any big truth, he just wanted to find an outlet.

The other palace maids and eunuchs all ran away, but only such a small eunuch stood by his side loyally.

In fact, many eunuchs in the palace are very envious of Sun Liang, Sun Liang has only entered the palace for a year, at that time King Wu was not King Wu, just a little-known prince, with the improvement of his master's status, Sun Liang's status has also risen.

Now Sun Liang is more popular than those old people in the palace, and many people are speculating, not because Sun Liang will be a sycophant, nor because Sun Liang has any ability, but because his surname is Sun.

In Wu State, as long as you say that your surname is Sun, you will be given a high look, even if you have nothing to do with the Sun family of Wu State, no one dares to bully you.

Because of the Sun family, the power in the Wu country is too great, so big that many ordinary people know the Sun family but do not know the king of Wu.

But King Wu knew that Sun Liang was definitely not from the Sun family, he was just surnamed Sun, it was as simple as that.

That's why he dared to vent his dissatisfaction directly with Sun Liang.

"King, if you are really aggrieved, why don't you take back the rights of the Sun family?" Sun Liang's question looked a little stupid, King Wu was pushed to the throne by the Sun family, you are taking a bite in reverse, this is unkind, and it is not in line with your own interests.

But Sun Liang's words were like a flood gate that opened the floodgates, which made King Wu more and more dissatisfied with the Sun family.

In fact, over the years, King Wu has been secretly making preparations, and when he has not succeeded to the throne, he has secretly attracted a lot of courtiers and some generals in the army, but this year, he has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to completely get rid of his puppet.

King Wu thought of this, and immediately felt that he was arrogant, didn't your Sun family care about this king? Didn't the people of the Sun family all become turtles with shrunken heads, that's better, I will directly smash your turtle shell.

When King Wu thought of this, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Sun Liang, asking him to contact certain people.

If this was known by the people of the Sun family, but the matter of losing his head, this Sun Liang was not afraid, he took it directly, and then left the palace in a hurry.

Sun Liang took the letter out of the palace and got into a carriage.

"I thought you had forgotten our agreement!" said the man who drove the carriage outside.

"No way, I've been here for so many years, and this is the day I've been waiting for!"

Sun Liang actually knew the person who drove the carriage.

The carriage took Sun Liang several laps down the street, and when he was sure that no one was following him, he turned into an inconspicuous porter on the side of the road.

Sun Liang took out the letter and handed it to a person in the concierge.

This person carefully opened the person, then looked at the contents of it himself, and then put it in the envelope again, restored it to its original state, and handed it to Sun Liang again.
