On this day, Qi Xianggong thought of a plan, asked someone to draft a letter of state, and sent envoys to Zheng Guo to write to Ji Yan. The two countries met as an alliance until the first time. Shouzhi is a city in the southeast of the Qi State, and it is also the closest place where the monarchs and ministers of the Zheng State can enter the Qi State.

Zheng Guoji succeeded to the throne for just half a year. Since becoming the monarch of a country, he has been suffering from the fact that Ji Tu wants to restore the government in Liyi, and there are strong Song and Cai and Chen as enemies outside, which can be described as internal and external troubles, and he cannot get rid of his uncomfortable situation. I was overjoyed to receive the letter of state from Qi Xianggong. I thought: With the monarch of Qi and my Zheng Guo Alliance, Zheng Guo will no longer be afraid of Song Guo and several surrounding small countries. If you can get the support of Qi Xianggong, it will be very easy to sweep away Ji Tu. If you can rely on Qi State's own government, wouldn't it be as safe as Mount Tai!

Thinking of this, he recruited Gao Qumi, sacrificed his feet and went to the same time to form an alliance with the Qixiang Guild.

Saizu's face was immediately full of bitterness, and he spoke weakly: "The monarch doesn't know, the minister has been vomiting and diarrhea recently, and his whole body is weak, and it is difficult to follow the long-distance bumps, I hope to invite the monarch Haihan." ”

Gao Qumi said: "Since Lord Saizu is sick, let's stay in the capital to prevent Ji Tu from causing trouble." ”

Ji Yan nodded in agreement.

"Then please stick to the capital in case of accidents."

Sacrifice is grateful.

The minister Yuan Shigeru witnessed a performance of the foot sacrifice in the hall. When he entered the hall, he was like a dragon and a tiger, and when he heard that he had gone to the Qi Kingdom and the Qi Xiang Guild Alliance, he immediately pretended to be sick with a sad face, and naturally had doubts in his heart. Yuan Fan, who had witnessed the whole process of postponing the sacrifice and not following the king, approached the sacrifice when he approached the sacrifice foot, and he wanted to ask about the root cause.

"The new monarch wants to marry the Qi country, and the monarch should be assisted by him, I see that you are not in trouble, why do you pretend to be sick and not follow?"

Saizu also knew that Yuan Fan regarded himself as a teacher, admired him for a long time, and had no malice.

He said: "Qi Xianggong is fierce and cruel, and the heirs of the Qi country with strong soldiers and strong horses, is it necessary to win over a weak country?" The alliance with it is more likely to be more vicious than lucky. In addition, the first monarch Zhaogong has contributed to Qi and has always had a good reputation in Qi State. Back then, he was also working with Jiang Zhu'er to drive Rong Di, how could he not miss the old friends. The kings of big countries are unpredictable, and if they tie the big with the small, there will be a conspiracy. Is it difficult to save the lives of this line of monarchs and ministers? ”

Yuan Fan's back was chilled by what the sacrificial foot said, and he opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at the sacrificial foot, "If that's really the case, then why don't you dissuade them from the monarch?" ”

Saizu sighed and said to himself: "Maybe there is a wrongdoer and a debtor." ”

Doctor Yuan Fan listened to the words of the sacrificial foot, and did not close his eyes all night, he was worried about what Zheng Guo, who was constantly suffering, what would he do in the future?

Early the next morning, Yuan Fan came to visit the sacrificial foot.

"If it is not what you expected, Zheng Guo will be ownerless again, who will be the monarch of Zheng Guo after Ji Xuan?"

"It must be Ji Ying." Saizu said without hesitation. "One is Ji Ying's appearance talent, and the other is that the first Jun Zhuang Gong once said that Ji Ying has the talent to succeed to the throne. I think there should be no doubt about the righteousness of the Li Ji Ying Dynasty. ”

"People say that you are resourceful and clever, so I will test the authenticity of Ji Ji and Gao Qumi's safety."

Satsuri smiled, "Then you can just watch." ”

"Let's see if the priest-sama is a god!"

Yuan Fan said that he also laughed.

According to the set time of Qi Xianggong, Ji Yan and Gao Qumi rushed to the first stop day and night. Qi Xianggong also sent Prince Chengfu and Guan Zhifu's second general out of the city to greet him and arrange food and accommodation.

The next day was the time for the meeting.

Qi Xianggong secretly arranged more than 100 sword and axe men to ambush around the alliance, but there were masters of Hercules and Shi Zhiru following closely behind. At this time, Qi Xianggong looked angry and looked at Zheng Guojun and his ministers who slowly walked onto the altar of the alliance.

Gao Qumi is in front, and Ji Yan is in the back, and the ministers are on the altar.

Zheng Guo's escort chariot has been rejected by the Qi army chariot led by Prince Cheng's father and Guan Zhi's father from far away from the alliance, and many charioteers of Qi State are close to the alliance altar, blocking all the paths of Zheng Jun's entry into the alliance altar.

Ji Yan and Qi Xianggong have finished their ceremony.

Qi Xianggong waved his hand, and Meng Yang, a favorite minister, held a vessel full of animal blood in his hand, kneeling on the altar of the alliance and waiting for the two monarchs to form an alliance with blood. Everything seems to be normal, but it is no longer normal. Because Zheng Guojun and his ministers came from afar, Qi Xianggong did not meet him. hasn't said a word of greetings, just waiting for the alliance, this is an unprecedentedly alliance. However, Gao Qumi and Ji Ji have not found a problem yet. After waiting for the alliance, he will make peace with Qi Xianggong, hoping that Qi Xianggong can help Zheng Guo get out of trouble.

At this moment, Qi Xianggong's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Ji Yan's hand and asked sharply, "How did Zheng Guoxian Jun Zhaogong die?" ”

Ji Yan was stunned by this sudden questioning. I was so scared that I couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Gao Qumi hurriedly stepped forward to help Ji Ji break the siege.

"Back to Shangjun's words, I, Zheng Guoxianjun, died of illness. Everyone knows it, thank you for the hard work of the monarch of Qi State. ”

Qi Xianggong sneered: "That's not right! How did I hear that after the ancestral hall of the first monarch Ji Hu, an assassin secretly shot three arrows in a row, and the first monarch Ji was suddenly hit by two arrows and died, not because of any disease? ”

Gao Qu Mi couldn't hide it, and he said after a long time: "It turned out that he did have a cold disease, and he was frightened by the assassins, so he died violently." ”

"Where did the Assassins come from? Have you tracked down the Assassins? Qi Xianggong's voice raised an octave.

Gao Qumi pretended to calm down, sighed and said: "They are all fighting for each other, each has a dead party, waiting for the opportunity to act, and it is impossible to prevent it!" No Assassin has been found. ”

Qi Xianggong was furious: "The assassin is right in front of him, and he is still pretending garlic for me!" You Gao Qumi received the title of Zheng Guo, ate Zheng Jun's money, but killed the king with personal grudges. In front of the widow, you dare to deceive! The widow will avenge your unjust death today! Qi Xianggong called out to a row of sergeants standing under the altar: "Tell this faint monarch who killed the first monarch!" ”

Among the sergeants in that row, Zheng Zhaogong's personal guard came out of the year, and was sent to the military officials of Qi State by sacrificing his feet. Now he is Qi Xianggong's personal guard.

The military officer stepped on the altar of the alliance and pointed his finger high. "It's Zheng Guojun who was killed by Lord Gao Qu Migao by secretly shooting three arrows! My sergeant Scud would have caught up with him. but he killed and killed him. ”

"Huh?" Ji Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and he pretended to be surprised to look at Gao Qumi. "Did you really kill Ji Hu?"

Qi Xianggong ordered the following to the Lux Stone: "The witness is here, quickly take down this murderer and traitor to me!" ”

Gao Qumi knew that he couldn't be deceived, so he drew his knife and wanted to resist, but he was kicked away by the military officer. Hercules Stone rushed over at once, grabbed Gao Qumi's wrist with his left hand, and then grabbed Gao Qumi's belt with his right hand and lifted it high above his head, and fell heavily to the ground.

Ji Yan was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he immediately knelt in front of Qi Xianggong and kowtowed and begged.

"The assassination of Ji Hu has nothing to do with Lonely, it was all done by Gao Qumi. Please spare the lives of the widows! ”

Qi Xianggong sneered: "Since you know that it was Gao Qumi's doing, why don't you investigate the guilt and politics?" I think you are planning with Gao Qumi to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, and today is hard to argue! Then he waved his hand.

The prince became a father, Guan Zhi's father and more than 100 knife and axe hands, all stepped forward and chopped Ji Yan into meat puree.

Gao Qumi was not executed on the spot, but was escorted back to the capital of Qi.

At the south gate of the capital, Zheng Zhaogong's personal military officials carried out "five cattle corpses" on him, so that his military officials hated Zheng Zhaogong.

Qi Xianggong deliberately used this capital punishment to publicize the event, with the purpose of showing himself justice to the princes.

Qi Xianggong sent someone to hang Gao Qumi's head at the city gate, and announced to the world: "The rebel is gone"! On the one hand, he sent someone to collect Ji Kang's body and bury it in Dongguo, the capital of Qi State.

Qi Xianggong dictated a letter of state to Zheng Guo:

"The thief is a rebel, and Zhou has a regular punishment. The high qu of the country of Ru conspired with Bin Jun, and he was good at establishing his sins, and the widow was bitter that Zheng Xianjun did not hang, and he was killed for Zheng Zheng. I am willing to set up a new king, so as to invite the old good. ”

Since then, Qi Xianggong has killed the two monarchs in his own country, no matter whether there is an excuse or not, whether there is family affection or not, he has cruelly avenged the hatred of the Seven Kingdoms melee in Ji State. Wasn't it you Lu Guo and Zheng Guo who besieged my Qi State allies in the first place! No matter what, your two kings will shed their blood on my men. His cruel killing heart can be seen in heaven and earth.

Zheng Guoqun's ministers were shocked when they saw Qi Xianggong's national letter.

Only Yuan Fan exclaimed: "The sacrificial foot is really a god!" ”

After sacrificing the foot proposal, the courtiers of Zheng decided to support Ji Ying as the monarch. The sacrificial foot is the upper doctor, Shu Zhan is the middle doctor, and the original fan is the lower doctor.

In 693 BC, Zheng Guoqun's ministers supported Ji Ying's accession to the throne. Ji Ying sent the political commissar of the country to the sacrificial foot, repaired the people according to the strategy of sacrificing the foot, and sent envoys to reconcile with the Qi State and the Chen State.
