Jiang Qi set up a mourning hall in the thatched hut, placed the tablets of his deceased father and brother, wore filial piety clothes, sacrificed his deceased father and brother, and kept filial piety for them for three days and three nights.

During the period of filial piety, Jiang Qi cried and fainted several times, and every time he woke up, the first thing he said was "Liu Dan dog thief, I must kill you to avenge your family, this revenge is not a gentleman." ”

Seeing Jiang Qi's desire for revenge, Lu Ji and the others were also anxious, especially Lu Fu, who often asked Jiang Qi: "Ciqian, where are you going next?" How can we get revenge? ”

"Ciqian, it's better for us to go back to Handan to settle accounts with Liu Dan, with our two swords and Lu Fu, it should be no problem." Lu Ji is a cheerful person, and he is also in a hurry.

"Just a few of us, how can we take revenge if the womb is so strictly guarded?" At this time, Jiang Qi was still quite calm.

"Senior brother, I'll go with you too, there is great strength in numbers."

Aunt Zhao was not far behind, vying to help Jiang Qi take revenge.

"Senior sister, Yu'er still needs you to take care of her, her hand disease is not well yet, and she still needs you to help her slowly manage it."

"So what can I do?" In a hurry, Lu Fu stomped the cloth back and forth: "Mr. Lu, you have made a lot of rangers in Yan Kingdom, why don't you ask them for help." ”

"Liu Dan has raised a lot of rangers in recent years, and King Zhao himself has soldiers, so it is difficult for us to fight with them, so we can only engage in assassination or use other methods... Jiang Qi has been by King Zhao's side for many years and knows them well, so he still strongly advocates not to act rashly.

Gongsun Yu had been listening to them discussing how to take revenge, and saw that Jiang Qi was still able to deal with it heavily at the critical moment, proving that this person was a person who could do great things. Because he is an outsider, coupled with the memory and thinking of modern people, although he studied traditional Chinese medicine, he is very interested in history, especially the history of the Han Dynasty, and he still knows a lot. Everyone knows that during the Han Dynasty, especially during the period of Emperor Wu, he adopted Dong Zhongshu's policy of "respecting Confucianism alone" and vigorously promoted Confucianism; Confucianism advocates filial piety and attaches importance to blood and ethical relationships, so it has given enough affirmation to the issue of revenge, such as "a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late", "the revenge of killing the father, not sharing the sky" and other concepts, at that time it was very affirmed, you avenge the enemy who killed your father, the government will give you a side of the net, and will not be strictly pursued, so Jiang Qi's eagerness to take revenge is also understandable.

However, Emperor Wu tried his best to weaken the local forces, especially the power of the princes and kings. Emperor Wu, faced with the situation of the kings' power, adopted a clever legal means to weaken the power of the princes and kings - the implementation of the "Tui En Order". Originally, the succession of the throne of the princely kingdom was based on the principle of primogeniture, which ensured the territorial integrity and stability of the state affairs of a princely kingdom.

However, the intention of the edict was to allow the princes and kings to take a portion of their own territory and distribute it to their sons other than the eldest son, so that a princely kingdom would be divided into many new feudal states, and the newly established princely states would no longer be subordinate to his father's original kingdom, but to a county near the location of the princely state. In this way, even a vassal kingdom with a large territory will soon be weakened if its territory is constantly divided. Of course, those princes and kings knew that this was dividing his territory, but they were also helpless. Because the imperial court allowed Tui'en, all the princes hoped to get a part of the fief, so they would not agree with their father's refusal to engage in Tui'en. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took advantage of this sophistication to implement the "Tui En Order", and even if some princes and kings were dissatisfied, they could only abide by the new legal system of the imperial court and split their territory into several princely states.

Once someone reports that a prince and king has violated the law, once it is verified, it will weaken his fiefdom at the least, and at worst he will be killed and his fief will be confiscated.

Thinking of this, a thought came to Gongsun Yu's mind, so he said: "Brother Qi, the contemptible person has an idea, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Oh, brother, please tell us what you think!" As soon as he heard other suggestions, Jiang Qi, who was deep in thought, immediately came back to his senses.

"Sue, why don't you sue?" Gongsun Yu said his thoughts: "You have evidence of the many bad deeds of King Zhao's father and son, so you should be sure to sue." ”

"Complaint? Where to sue? Lu Ji looked a little puzzled.

"Good advice, brother, let's go and sue." As soon as Jiang Qi heard that he was suggesting to file a lawsuit, he seemed very excited, and immediately got up and paced back and forth.

"We can go to Chang'an to complain, and now Your Majesty is cultivating the law internally, and the people are allowed to sue outside, especially for the princes and kings who violate the law." Gongsun Yu said.

"Brother Gongsun, it seems that you are still very familiar with the laws of the imperial court."

Lu Ji gave a thumbs up to Gongsun Yu.

"But how do we go about suing? How can the paper be delivered to His Majesty? ”

Hearing Lu Fu asking, another problem plagued Jiang Qi.

"What we want to sue now is Prince Zhao, we can only go to Your Majesty to sue, I'm worried that I won't be able to hand the pleadings to Your Majesty." Jiang Qi scratched his head and said.

Seeing Jiang Qi's confused expression, Gongsun Yu stepped forward and said: "Brother Jiang, I have an idea, you can find my uncle Gongsun Qing, don't you say that he is very deeply relied on by His Majesty, and is often summoned by His Majesty, let's go to Chang'an to find him and ask him to help hand the paper to Your Majesty." ”

Lu Fu heard Gongsun Yu mention Gongsun Qing's name, and asked curiously, "Gongsun Qing?" Could it be the monk who saw the footprints of the immortals on the city of the Clan? ”

"It's him." Lu Ji replied affirmatively.

"Brother Qi, I have another way to help you hand the paper to Your Majesty."

Hearing that everyone was discussing how to take revenge, Aunt Zhao on the side was silent, but when she heard that she was going to His Majesty to complain, she quite agreed with this method, so she nodded frequently in agreement.

When Jiang Qi heard Aunt Zhao say that there was a way, he was overjoyed and said, "Senior sister, if you have any way, just say it and listen to it." ”

Aunt Zhao said unhurriedly: "You don't know, after my brother was punished by the palace and entered the palace, with his efforts, he became a waiter of the Yellow Gate, but it is a pity that he contracted a serious illness the year before last and left us, but he has many friends in the palace, one of them is called Su Wen, and the other is called Yan Hao, and he has a good relationship with him, the two of them are behind my brother, and often help our aunt and nephew, the most important thing is that they are now His Majesty's close attendants, and they serve His Majesty every day, you go to Chang'an City to find them, explain the situation, and they will help." ”

"We've never met them before, so I wonder if we'll help?"

Aunt Zhao saw Jiang Qi's worries, and said confidently: "They have always been in contact with me, I am now repairing a letter to explain your situation, the two of them have always had a good relationship with their brothers, they suffered together and entered the palace and supported each other together." ”

"It's so good, there's Senior Sister Lao." Jiang Qi bowed deeply to Aunt Zhao.

Seeing Jiang Qi saluting, Aunt Zhao felt embarrassed and said, "Senior brother, you are polite." ”

Gongsun Yu also made a suggestion to Jiang Qi: "Brother Qi, it's a long way to Chang'an City, and I'm afraid of encountering Liu Dan's pursuers along the way, so it's better for you to change your name first and then put on makeup, so that you can also avoid danger." ”

"This is very good, and it can also avoid the attacks of the thieves"

Lu Fu very much agreed with the idea of changing the name, and Lu Ji also said that the name change would be conducive to going to Chang'an City to file a complaint.

Jiang Qi thought about it for a while, and happily accepted Gongsun Yu's suggestion, so he said: "The eldest husband can't change his surname, he still has the surname Jiang, and his name will be changed to Chong, called Jiang Chong." ”

From now on, Jiang Qi changed his name to Jiang Chong, and after changing his name to Jiang Chong, he soared and won the favor of Emperor Wu, but he almost ruined the Han Dynasty, which is a later story.
