Chapter 177: Qi Aigong and "Cooking Punishment" (1st Update)
But on the surface, Wu Liang was surprised, and carefully looked at Zhu Lu next to him, and then confirmed to Ji very solemnly: "What the old gentleman said is true?" Zhu Sangongzi is really the noble person I lack in my life? β
"It's true, when did the old man deceive his son?"
Yu Ji smiled indifferently and stood with his hands on his beard.
"Good! That's great! This is called stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it! Hahaha, no wonder I felt that Zhu Sangongzi was very close when I first saw him, it turned out that everything was already destined! β
Wu Liang laughed, as if he was already ranked as the third prince at this moment, which was overjoyed.
"So old gentleman...... The captain is also the noble person I am missing in my life? β
Seeing this, Zhu Lu also hurriedly came over and asked, "As long as I don't give up with the captain, my prosperity will be just around the corner?" β
"This matter is even more important to Zhu Sangongzi."
Yu Ji said with a smile, "Gongzi is now an official to a captain, and if he wants to be promoted again, I'm afraid it will take more effort and time, but Zhu Sangongzi is only a county now, the starting point is so low, and the fortune has been suppressed for so long, I'm afraid it won't take long to see immediate results." β
"Good! If I can really be rich and expensive, what is a mere hundred catties of gold, I am willing to provide for the old man for life, and take care of the old man for a lifetime! β
Zhu Lu was also instantly excited.
A pair of eyes became bright, and even the waist rod straightened a little, as if he had seen a bright future, saw the worship of everyone, saw that he was better than several brothers in the family, saw the admiring eyes of his father and brothers, and saw that he had naturally become the next head of the Zhu family, and the greatest head of the family......
"Third son, you are not authentic, I have sworn to take care of the old gentleman before, how can you come to snatch it?"
Wu Liang said with a straight face.
"This ...... It's because I'm thinking about it, so I'll make offerings to the old gentleman every year. β
Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed his words.
"Hahaha, that's right."
Wu Liang patted Zhu Lu's shoulder and said very affectionately, "Since you and I are each other's nobles, we should support each other in the future, my surname is Wu, and I have a good name, and I don't take advantage of you?" How about you call me a talented brother in the future? β
"Talented brother."
Zhulu immediately called out? Said happily, "My brother's surname is Zhu Minglu?" The word Yongkang? If there is a talented brother who does not give up, he will call his brother Yongkang. β
"Brother Yongkang?"
"Talented brother?"
"Hahahaha......"
The laughter of the two could be heard in the guest room.
Since this moment? The alliance between Wu Liang and Zhu Lu was initially established.
It is conceivable that no matter what Wu Liang does in Yongqiu County in the future? Not only will Zhulu not play stumbling again? I will also provide him with support as much as I can.
Of course.
Wu Liang would also provide him with some benefits in return, so that Zhu Lu could eat some sweetness, so as to further increase Zhu Lu's dependence on him as a "nobleman" and maintain this "alliance" relationship.
So what? Zhulu's straw bale became his puppet.
The power of the Zhu family in Yongqiu County? It is no longer an obstacle to his implementation of the "tuntian system", but has become his help.
This result is definitely better than sending Zhu Lu back to the Zhu family, after all, it is impossible for the Zhu family to give up Yongqiu no matter what, and send away a Zhu Lu? The Zhu family will definitely send a new person to preside over the overall situation.
What if the next person sent wasn't as hasty as Julu and came with some resentment? Then it will definitely cause him some trouble, which is not beautiful.
β¦β¦
In this way, he and Zhu Lu drank some wine in the guest hall.
To put it bluntly, in fact, Wu Liang and Yu Ji joined forces to pour Zhu Lu into a beating? After pouring him almost enough, Wu Liang called someone out to call in the group of servants who were accompanied by Zhu Lu? Set up Zhulu to return home.
"Talented brother! I'll talk to you...... I've never had such a good time in my life as I am today...... Happy...... Belch! β
"I've made up my mind for you, brother...... Our brothers join forces? Sure...... Surely you can do something? Teach those ordinary people to look at each other...... Belch! β
"Change, I'll prepare some good wine and food another day, and you and my brother will drink again...... That's it, one, one word is decided! β
The servants cautiously carried Zhu Lu to the outside of the palace, but the goods were still in the heart of Wu Liang at that step, looking like an unfinished drunkard.
The servants were secretly frightened.
They really couldn't figure out what kind of ecstasy Wu Liang gave their master, how could they be strangers before they went in, and when they came out, they became brothers who hated to see each other late?
To tell the truth, the relationship between Zhu Lu and his brothers is really not as close as Wu Liang.
His brothers don't look at him very much, and they usually just say hello when they see him, and they rarely even give a smile, even if they have a smile, there is some disdain and disdain in the smile.
Zhu Lu knew this in his heart, but he was only clear, and he never dared to show dissatisfaction.
"Brother Yongkang, you're drunk."
Wu Liang smiled, and instructed these servants again, "You guys hurry up and bring Zhu Sangongzi back, if the cold land and freezing wind are strong today, it will not be good if you have a stroke." β
"Yes......"
The servants hurriedly bowed down, but Zhu Lu suddenly improved his voice: "I'm not drunk!" I can still drink, today I am happy, I can still drink, I can drink! β
"Okay, okay, you're not drunk, you can still drink, I'm drunk."
Wu Liang glanced at the servants while following the drunk.
Everyone hurriedly stuffed Zhu Lu into the eight-carried sedan chair, and the servants didn't dare to say anything, so they had to thank Wu Liang and say goodbye while hurriedly carrying the sedan chair away.
On the way back, seeing that Zhu Lu had already fallen asleep, the servants couldn't help but whisper about the matter:
"This new county order is not simple, how many county orders have been changed in Yongqiu County over the years, and it is the first time I have seen such a powerful county order, not only refuting the face of our son, but also treating all the county officials under the son, but looking back, I can still call our son a brother and talk about wine......
"It can be seen that our son is really happy today, and no one has ever been able to call him happy."
"With such a powerful county commander, I'm afraid Yongqiu will be different, right?"
"Who knows, it has nothing to do with us anyway, we just have to serve a good son, and other things are not our turn to discuss."
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
At the same time, within the government office.
"The old gentleman has worked hard, this "History of Qi" is really a good thing!"
Looking at the two volumes of "History of Qi" sorted out by Tai Ji, Wu Liang was full of praise.
This "History of Qi" began with the establishment of the state of Yingqiu by King Wu of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and recorded the history after the emergence of the state of Qi.
Although the previous content is much more detailed than the ancient books found in later generations.
For example, after Jiang Ziya came to Yingqiu, how to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys to quell the local rebellion, how to simplify etiquette and revise policies to win the hearts of the people, how to obtain the right to conquer, and how to make Qi a real power, how to go to Qi Dinggong, Qi Yigong, and Qi Guigong...... And so on, the piles and piles are relatively clearly recorded.
However, some of these memorabilia are not much different from later historical records, and there is not much to pay attention to.
In this way, it was not until the fifth lord of Qi State, Qi Aigong, that a record that was completely different from the history known to Wu Liang finally appeared.
In the historical records known to Wu Liang, this Qi Aigong only appeared in a few words, and it was derived from the record in the later "Historical Records of the Taigong Family of Qi": "The Duke of Qi is a pawn, and the son of the Duke of Qi is not established." When mourning the duke, Ji Hou Chen's Zhou, Zhou Cook mourned the duke and set up his younger brother Jing, which was for the Duke of Hu. β
It is said that Qi Aigong is the heir of Qi Guigong, called "Lu Buchen".
After the Duke of Qi Ai succeeded to the throne, the monarch of Ji continued to slander the King of Zhou, and the King of Zhou Yi listened to the slander and killed the Duke of Qi Ai, and then established his younger brother LΓΌ Jing as the Duke of Qihu.
When I first saw the record of Qi Aigong in this "Historical Records", Wu Liang had many doubts in his heart.
"Historical Records" refers to LΓΌ Buchen as "Qi Aigong", but there is no problem.
After all, "Historical Records" is a later history book that was only completed during the Western Han Dynasty, but the real history of Lu Buchen's name is categorically impossible to be "Qi Aigong".
Judging by the laws of the historical emperor and king, "mourning" can only be the name that King Zhou forcibly placed on him after his death.
After all, no matter who is naming it, it is impossible to use such a mourning word as "mourning" in their name.
What's more, the kings of Qi in front of him have already set a good example for him, Duke Qi Ding, Duke Qi Yi, and Duke Qi Gui...... The words used were all selected from the ten heavenly stems, and when he arrived, the word "mourning" suddenly came.
This is inevitably too abrupt, just like when "rats, cows, tigers, rabbits" are arranged in order, someone suddenly picks up a "dinosaur" behind them, and there is definitely something wrong with this person's head.
In addition, "cooking" Qi Aigong?
"Cooking" is a very cruel punishment, in which the victim is stripped of his clothes, thrown into a cauldron as high as a person, and the firewood under the pot is lit to raise the temperature of the water to cook, and at the end of the punishment, the victim has been boiled to the point that the flesh and bones are separated.
Even when King Wu of Zhou crusaded against Emperor Xin, he also regarded this punishment as one of the reasons for the tyranny of King Zhou.
As a result, it has only been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and Ji Xie, the king of Zhouyi, dared to use "cooking punishment" against the descendants of Jiang Ziya, the greatest hero of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, because he listened to the slander of others, because he listened to the slander of others, and was still the king of a country?
What's more, during the reign of King Yi of Zhou, the Zhou royal family was already in a stage of decline, and some princes no longer came to pay tribute, and attacked each other.
At that time, the State of Qi had already become a big country among the vassal states, and in the face of such a detached monarch, the State of Qi would not have any reaction, and just silently endured everything?
These questions are finally explained in the "History of Qi" sorted out by Yu Ji......
