On the same day, Xiao Zishuo summoned Gu Daoyuan, Fang Hengxin, Lian Min and others to discuss various measures and arrangements after entering Tokyo.

With Xiao Zishuo entering Tokyo City, in addition to Gu Daoyuan, Fang Hengxin and other Qin people, there are naturally Lian Min and other generals of the Qi army.

Xiao Jin, as Xiao Zishuo's copywriter, also entered Tokyo with him, and lived in Gongzi's mansion with Zhao Qinger and Xiaoying.

As the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, as soon as Xiao Zishuo Fang entered the city and returned to the mansion, he saw that everyone in the mansion was wearing filial piety clothes and waiting for his return.

As soon as Xiao Zishuo entered the door, a servant served him with filial piety clothes and hemp rope, dressed neatly, and hugged him and went straight to the Qinglong Palace.

In fact, before Xiao Zishuo entered the city, some officials went out of the city to meet him, and the most important person among them was his teacher, Wen Xuan, who was the secretary of Qi at the time.

Under the guidance of these only remaining officials who supported him, Xiao Zishuo had some clear context for the first time about the current court situation.

In the past year since he pledged himself to the Qin State, most of the officials who originally supported him have lost their positions.

Among the five officials of the Great Division, the Great Division, the Great Sima, the Great Division, and the Great Counselor under Xiangbang, except for Wen Xuan, who served as the Great Division, the remaining four officials have all become personnel who support Gongziyan, not to mention those minor officials who are attached to the five senses.

In such a situation, if there was no Wen Xuan's hard support, Gongziyan would have succeeded to the position of the prince of the country long ago, how could he wait until he returned to the country.

But things are not extremely erosive, because those who are in the middle of the wait-and-see occupy half of the political situation of Qi State, although they are unwilling to participate in the dispute between the two sons, but only under the pull of Mrs. Mi and Gongziyan, there are still the vast majority of people who are slightly inclined to Gongziyan.

Wen Xuan believed that as long as Gongzishuo could come back, he would have the confidence to win back most of these people.

It's just that Xiangbang Tianfu and the three secretaries and four people who never ask about the political situation have always had a clear attitude.

But these four are the most important people who can influence the ownership of the public position.

The first prince has been in the house for two months, and he will be buried in less than a month, so even Wen Xuan thought that the general trend was gone, but he did not expect that Gongzi Shuo would not only be able to return to Beijing safely in advance, but also bring 120,000 soldiers to build momentum for him.

This undoubtedly injected a dose of fierce medicine into the old man.

He made it clear to Xiao Zishuo that as long as they could get the support of Xiangbang Tianfu and Sanqing, they would be able to completely overthrow Gongziyan and succeed to the throne smoothly.

Na Tian Fu is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and no one can speak in the court.

Even after Xiao Zishuo was far away from the Qin State, Mrs. Mi was never able to say that the Duke of Qin would give the position of the prince to the prince weir, and the reason for this was that Tian Fu blocked the Duke of Qin on the grounds that the prince had established the elder but not the young, and the heir did not establish the concubine.

So as long as Xiao Zishuo returns to Beijing, even though Tian Fu will not help Xiao Zishuo win the throne, he will not hinder him behind his back.

It's just that the three Qings are a little troublesome.

Unlike the other three kingdoms, which can be held by different surnames, the secretary of Qi is all held by the brother of the monarch.

At present, the two guest secretaries and Zhengqing of the Qi State are Xiao Zishuo's uncles.

These three secretaries never take care of political affairs on weekdays, but they just eat, drink and have fun in their respective fiefdoms, but whenever the Qi State conducts sacrifices or military affairs, they will surface and govern the country together with the monarch.

For them, it doesn't make much difference which of their nephews will be the king, anyway, they are all people with their own surname Xiao.

Over the years, under the management of Mrs. Mi, Xiao Wang among the three secretaries is still slightly inclined to support Xiao Ziyan, but after all, the patriarchy has a system, so they have not shown their respective attitudes on the surface.

According to Wen Xuan's suggestion, Xiao Zishuo wanted to personally woo the three Qings.

Because, after all, it is Xiao Zishuo's own family matter, and the participation of others can only be counterproductive

Xiao Zishuo, who returned to the house and changed his clothes, hurriedly came to the Qinglong Palace, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he went straight to the main bed.

"Father, father!"

With Xiao Zishuo's terrible cry, the ladies in the apse also wailed in unison, and for a while, the cries inside and outside the Qinglong Hall resounded in the sky.

Xiao Zishuo cried bitterly at the coffin of Duke Qi for a long time, although he had long been quite unpopular with this father, but remembering that before Mrs. Mi married to Qi State, his father's love for him was still sad.

Under the crying and weeping, Xiao Zishuo actually fainted from crying several times, and the servants and maidservants on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help and rescued him.

"Father, you were fine when Zishuo left, why didn't you wait for Zishuo to come back.

When Zishuo was in the Qin Kingdom, he longed to be by your side day and night, and served your old man all his life, but you just left, Zishuo was in pain, Zishuo was sad. ”

Xiao Zishuo, who was kneeling in front of the coffin, beat his chest and feet, and cried out in grief as he spoke.

His cry caused the surrounding eunuchs and servants to also have red eyes and sobbed in a low voice, and everyone in the sleeping room burst into tears.

Seeing that Xiao Zishuo was almost crying, the internal official on the side slowly walked over and led Xiao Zishuo to the coffin of Duke Qi to officially perform a filial piety ceremony.

Princes, March burial, this is the rule of the nations, and Xiao Zishuo, as the eldest son, should have personally presided over the funeral.

It's just that he is far away in the Qin State, so it wasn't until this moment that Xiao Zishuo performed filial piety, and the funeral of Duke Qi officially began.

After some elaborate etiquette, the sky had already darkened.

Xiao Zishuo walked out of the main bed and went to the Yan bed to meet his mother and other ladies.

After greeting his mother Gao Yang after returning from a farewell, Xiao Zishuo also met with Mrs. Mi.

But to his surprise, Mrs. Na Mi not only warmed him up and greeted him warmly, but also took the initiative to tell him to take care of the state funeral, just like a relative.

Xiao Zishuo looked at this beautiful woman who was not much older than himself, and suddenly had some strange feelings, as if this Mrs. Mi was his biological mother.

After leaving the Yan Bed, Xiao Zishuo came to the main hall of Qinglong under the guidance of the internal officials, because Sanqing heard that Xiao Zishuo had returned to Tokyo, so he hurriedly convened the clan to discuss the funeral, and also discussed a major matter that the internal officials did not know what it was.

When he came back to this hall a year later, Xiao Zishuo suddenly felt a sense of being a human again when he stepped through the high hall door.

The throne in the middle of the hall was empty at this time, and the old man who had once made him love and fear, respect and fear was no longer visible.

Xiao Zishuo's eyes burst into tears again, he lowered his head and knelt on the ground in front of the three old men sitting side by side on the right side of the palace under the gaze of the Mandian clan who had been waiting here.

"The eldest uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, Zishuo is back."

As he spoke, Xiao Zishuo's tears also flowed down his cheeks.

His career as a proton is finally over.

"Well, it's good to come back, you've suffered this year."

The old man at the head looked at Xiao Zishuo kindly and nodded slightly, and said warmly.

Xiao Zishuo's heart warmed when he heard this, he quickly raised his head to wipe away the tears on his face and said, "Uncle, for the sake of the country, Zishuo doesn't dare to say bitter."

It's just that Zishuo has no father since then, so he is like a rootless duckweed, and in the future, he will ask his uncle and several uncles to discipline Zishuo more. ”

Although Xiao Zishuo's words obviously had the intention of wooing the three of them, there was still some truth in his words, how could Xiao Qian, who was the leader, not hear it.

He just wanted to comfort Xiao Zishuo for a few words, but he heard another old man under him snort with anger.

Everyone in the hall heard the old man's cold snort, and turned their eyes to him.

I saw that the person was Xiao Zishuo's third uncle, Xiao Wang.

"Third brother, Zishuo has just come back, let's wait for the second brother's funeral to talk about other things. Indeed, the boy suffered. You see he's lost so much weight. ”

Another middle-aged man beside Xiao Wang saw that Xiao Wang was quite angry, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Fourth, don't protect him, do you know what he did? He brought 120,000 people from the Qin State to my Qi Kingdom, and he was outside Tokyo City at the moment. ”

"What? 120,000 Qin people? ”

Xiao Kun, who was known as the fourth child, looked at his eldest brother in some surprise, then looked at Xiao Wang, and finally turned his gaze to Xiao Zishuo.

He looked at Xiao Zishuo in disbelief, and he did mutter: "Didn't Uncle Yong's national letter state that he would send Fang Hengxin to bring 30,000 soldiers and horses to mourn?" Why did it become 120,000? ”

"Come to condole? Since ancient times, I have let other countries bring troops to mourn the monarch, and I am the only one.

It's sad and shameful. ”

Xiao Wang deliberately accentuated the words "other countries lead troops", and after saying this, he frowned and glared at Xiao Zishuo with a sad face.

It seems that Xiao Zishuo led a wolf into the room and aimed all his anger at him.

"Third uncle, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin State came with me, but."

"Well, no need to say it. Zishuo, you go sit down first. ”

Just as Xiao Zishuo was about to explain the reason to Xiao Wang, Xiao Qian suddenly spoke out to stop Xiao Zishuo.

Xiao Zishuo looked up at the eldest uncle with no expression on his face, and then at Xiao Wang, who was still angry, and Xiao Kun, who was the youngest.

But when he looked at Xiao Kun, he saw Xiao Kun secretly glance at him, although Xiao Zishuo didn't know why, he still hurriedly said yes, went to the second position on the left side and sat down.

Originally, Xiao Zishuo was the eldest son, and he was supposed to sit at the top of the left side, but when he retreated to the left and turned to look for a seat, he saw that someone was already sitting there on the left side.

Slightly stunned, Xiao Zishuo looked up at the dim light emitted by the pine and cedar oil ingots on the case, and saw that the pot-bellied old man who was sitting in what should have been his position was the Xiangbang Tianfu of Qi State.

Xiao Zishuo was surprised and didn't have time to think about why Tian Fu was here, so he hurriedly saluted Tian Fu and said, "Zishuo has seen Tian Xiangbang. ”

"I haven't seen him for a year, the eldest son is indeed emaciated, it's good to come back, it's good, it's good."

As soon as Tian Fu finished speaking, he only heard Xiao Wang, who was sitting opposite, snort coldly.

Xiao Zishuo didn't care about the embarrassment, so he bowed to Xiangbang again as a thank you gift, and hurriedly sat in the vacated position under Tian Fu.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Zishuo breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned his head slightly to look at the people sitting in the hall carefully.
