2.

The renegade promised to cooperate with the Song State to abolish Zheng Guoguo, which gave Huadu a kind of victory joy of victory in the first battle.

Hua Du reported to Song Zhuang Gong overnight, and Hua Du said happily: "The sacrifice has been promised." ”

Song Zhuang Gong applauded the case, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "He Zheng Zhuang Gong plundered my two cities in Song Kingdom back then, and I will ask him Zheng Guo to return my three cities!" ”

Duke Song Zhuang summoned his son Ji Tu in his inner room. Ji Tu couldn't wait to be summoned by Song Zhuang Gong, so he entered the room and knelt down, wanting Song Zhuang Gong to carry out the big ceremony.

Duke Song Zhuang retreated from his insider, lowered his voice and said to Ji Tu: "The widow promised the Yong clan to let you go back to Zheng Guo and help you win the throne. The widow has already dispatched troops and decided to cooperate with you in attacking Zheng Guo, and the day of the city is when you take the throne. ”

When Ji Tu heard this, he immediately knelt down and bowed down, thanking Song Zhuang Gong. I don't know how to thank you.

Song Zhuang Gong said: "Now Zheng Guo sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to sue the new monarch, and then transferred a secret letter to the widow. In the secret book, the widow will definitely kill you, and promise the widow that he will cut off three cities as a reward. ”

Ji Tu knelt in front of Song Zhuang Gong and thanked him before he could say anything, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Song Zhuang Gong's words later. Listen to what follows with trepidation.

Seeing Ji Tu's frightened appearance, Song Zhuang Gong smiled and said: "Don't worry, the widow takes care of the Yong family as an important minister of my Song Dynasty, and he is a powerful minister in the Song Dynasty." You are the nephew of the Yong family, and you are also the blood of my Song Kingdom. I can't bear to kill my son, so I sue you in private. ”

Ji Tu immediately kowtowed to the ground, choked up and said: "Ji Tu is a fateful person, and now he naturally understands that Ji Tu's net worth and life are in the hands of the monarch. If you can thank Jun for your grace and make Ji Tu see the ancestral temple again, you will be ordered by the king, and you will be rewarded by the three cities! If you can help Ji Tu achieve great things, Ji Tu will always remember Jun's grace and repay him from generation to generation. ”

Song Zhuang Gong felt that his words were in place, so he stepped forward and hurriedly helped Ji Tu with his own hands and motioned for him to sit down.

Song Zhuanggong said: "Let's not talk about these things first. The widow has already designed a path for you to succeed to the throne. As long as you have no opinion, Zheng Guojun's throne belongs to you. Speaking of this, Song Zhuang Gong glanced at Ji Tu, and then said: "The widow is now putting the sacrificial foot on death row, just for the sake of the great cause of the son, forcing him to comply." The widow knew very well in his heart that it would be difficult to accomplish such a thing as an abolition in Zheng Guo without sacrificing his feet. The widow left him to sacrifice his life in order to achieve the great cause of the son. ”

Ji Tu exhaled a long breath, and finally saved his life.

Song Zhuang Gong shouted: "Come on, bring the sacrifice foot to see the widow!" ”

The doors of death row opened. Several prison guards escorted the sacrificial foot out of the prison.

Seeing that the jailer did not put on the torture instrument on him, he let himself out of the gate, knowing that he had been ordered by Song Zhuang Gong to release himself. I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, thinking that I was going to brush shoulders with death.

Coming out of death row, the people in the palace walked towards the palace with sacrificial feet. At the gate of the palace, the minister of the Song Kingdom, Yong, bowed his hand to the sacrificial foot, so that the sacrificial foot felt a little dignity, so he came to the inner room with Yongshi to meet Ji Tu.

Under the auspices of Song Zhuang Gong, several people discussed the specific plan to abolish Ji Hu Li Ji Tu.

At this moment, the sacrificial foot is also considered to be enlightened, whether he is Ji Hu or his Ji Tu, it is his Zheng family, and the sacrificial foot is just the person who guards the door for the Zheng family, no matter who is in charge of his Zheng family, he can't let himself lose his head. So at the initiative of Song Zhuang Gong, the three of them made a blood alliance, Song Zhuang Gong was the division of the alliance, and Xiang Guohua was the governor. It was here that a usurpation plot was born.

Gongzi Ji Tu read the oath drafted by Song Zhuang Gong in front of Song Zhuang Gong: If he becomes the monarch of Zheng Guo, in addition to cutting three cities to Song Guo, he must have a hundred pairs of white walls, ten thousand gold and 10,000 stones, and 30,000 stones of grain every year as a reward to thank Song Zhuang Gong for his rescue. Songzhuang publicized the intention to sacrifice the foot, and the title of the book is proof.

Not to mention how much the white wall hundred pairs and the gold hundred and yi (two thousand four hundred taels) are for the national strength. 30,000 stone of good grain every year will also weaken Zheng Guo's national strength. This reward from Song Zhuang Gong will cause Zheng Guo to be unable to confront Song Guo from now on, and completely kneel in front of Song Guo.

Ji Tu was anxious to get the position of the monarch, and he did not hesitate to accept the harsh requirements put forward by Song Zhuang Gong. Moreover, Ji Tu tried his best to compliment Song Zhuang Gong and recite virtue, and did his best to grovel to the knees. The sacrificial foot is like resurrecting from the dead, and it follows closely, not daring to have any negligence.

Signed and drawn, all the operations were completed, and Song Zhuang Gong invited the priest to sit and chat with Ji Tu.

Song Zhuang Gong first asked the family members of the sacrificial foot, and learned that there was still a daughter unmarried in the sacrificial foot, so he said: "Since the sacrificial doctor still has an unmarried daughter, and the widow is willing to be a matchmaker for the sacrificial doctor, how about marrying the beloved daughter to Yongjie, the son of the Yongdafu?" ”

Where do you dare not agree, and you will accept it with a mouthful.

So Song Zhuang Gong acted as a matchmaker in front of him, and promised the daughter of the sacrificial foot to Yongjie, the son of the Yong family. Immediately instructed the priest to bring Yongjie back to the country to marry, and after Ji Tu ascended the throne, Yongjie was appointed as the doctor of Zheng Guo. I didn't dare to disobey in my heart, so I had to agree.

Before leaving, Song Zhuang Gong instructed his son Ji Tu to abolish the establishment of the matter, and the affairs of the state affairs were handed over to the sacrificial foot to deal with, and Nayong was appointed as the doctor of Zheng Guoshi, and Ji Tu agreed one by one.

After making these meticulous arrangements, Song Zhuang Gong put his heart down and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. The pain of the two cities that the Song Kingdom had been taken away by Zheng Zhuang Gong over the years seemed to finally have a chance to repair. What made him even more excited was that cutting off the three cities of Zheng Guo and supplying 30,000 stone of good grain every year would definitely make Zheng Guo no longer have the power to fight back against Song State.

Gongzi Ji Tu and Yongjie both dressed up as businessmen, and drove to follow the sacrificial foot, and after arriving at Zheng Guo, the two hid in the sacrificial foot's home.

After returning to Zheng Guo, he pretended to be unwell and could not go to court.

All the doctors felt that this powerful minister was highly respected and even more powerful, and he should not be offended. Knowing that the sacrificial foot was unwell, they all made an appointment to come to the sacrificial house to say hello. When the priest learned the news, he mobilized more than 100 people from his family to ambush him in the indoor closet as killers, and then asked his family to invite the doctors to meet him in the inner room.

When the doctors came to the inner room of the sacrificial mansion, they saw that the sacrificial feet were ruddy, magnificent, and neatly dressed. are a little puzzled.

A senior doctor asked, "Seeing that Lord Saizu is not sick, why don't you enter the court?" ”

The sacrificial foot sneered, but there was a ruthless murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's not that I'm sick in my body, it's that I'm sick in Zheng Guo's government. The ancestor doted on Ji Tu, and left a will with Feng, the prince of the Song Kingdom. Now, Song Guozi Feng sent Nangong Changwan as a general according to my ancestors' instructions, and led 600 military vehicles to assist his son Ji Tu Lijun. The first monarch of Zheng Guo had just died, and the new monarch was not firmly established, so how could he stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Song State? ”

The doctors looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Saizu continued: "If you want to retreat the Song soldiers today and relieve Zheng Guo's bloody disaster, there is only one way to go, and that is to abolish Ji Hu Li Ji Tu, so you can avoid Zheng Guo's disaster." Childe Ji Tu is here now, whether the doctors are here or not, let's show your attitude here! ”

Gao Qumi held a grudge because the prince Ji suddenly prevented him from being promoted to the position of Shangqing. On the way to aid Qi in the north, Ji Hu offended Gao Qu Miduo, so he was jealous of Ji Hu in his heart. After Ji Hu became the monarch, he felt uncomfortable all day long, and he knew that he would never have a better day from now on. Now when I hear that I want to set up my son Ji Tu as the king, wouldn't it be my own time? Between the confusion and confusion of the doctors, Gao Qumi stepped forward and expressed his position in advance.

Gao Qumi pulled out the sword at his waist and said loudly: "I Gao Qumi completely agrees with the opinion of Lord Sacrificial Foot, and this abolition is my Zheng Guosheji's great blessing." I support the opinions of adults, and I would like to see the new king! ”

When everyone heard Gao Qumi's words, they all thought that Gao Qumi had an appointment with the sacrificial foot first. Looking around left and right, I saw a figure shaking in the closet, a forest of swords, and everyone was already scared into a cold sweat. There is no place where Gao Qumi's sword points without bowing his head. All the doctors feel that there is no other choice, it seems that whoever wants to come down or not will have a head on the neck!

Therefore, the doctors could only agree to the request of sacrificial feet. So the sacrificial foot exhaled the son Ji Tu, and asked Ji Tu to sit down.

Sacrificial feet and Gao Qumi knelt down to worship. The doctors had no choice but to bow to the ground and kowtow to show their loyalty.

The sacrificial foot showed the pre-written name seal and asked the doctors to sign and draw the seal.

Saizu said: "The monarch of the Song State pressed the realm with heavy troops and axes to force the prince Ji Tu, and the ministers could not help but obey if they wanted to live. ”

The superficial article of the sacrifice foot has been done enough, and I still feel that there is something wrong. He also wrote a secret book to Ji Hu, and wrote to the sacrificial foot in the secret book: "The establishment of the lord is not the intention of the ancestors, but for the sake of the ministers and the lord." Now the Song monarch imprisoned the ministers and forced them to stand up, asking the ministers to swear an oath, and the ministers were afraid that although they died, it would not help the protection of the throne, so they had to recognize it in person. Now the army of the Song State has reached the outskirts of Zhengdu, and the ministers are afraid of the strength of the Song Dynasty and are coerced to welcome the new master. The lord temporarily hid for a while, and Rong Chen looked for an opportunity to welcome the monarch back to the throne. If the minister violates this promise, it will be like the sunset! ”

Sacrificing feet is also a poisonous oath.

Zheng Zhao Gongji suddenly received a joint letter from the ministers and a secret letter from the sacrificial foot, knowing that he was isolated and helpless. fled to the state of Chen with the concubine.

In 700 BC, the son Ji Tu ascended the throne and was named Zheng Ligong.

Zheng Ligong really fulfilled his promise in front of Song Zhuang Gong, and handed over all political affairs to the sacrificial foot.

Saizu also married his daughter to Yongjie as his wife according to the requirements of Song Zhuang Gong, and was called Yongji. Zheng Ligong named Yongjiao as the doctor of Zheng Guochao. Yong's was originally the cousin of Ji Tu's maternal uncle, and Zheng Ligong knew that he was able to succeed to the throne thanks to Yong's uncle, so he favored Yongjie very much, making Yongjie's power second only to sacrificial feet in the court.

Since the accession of Gong Li, Zheng Guoren has not had much repercussions and opinions up and down, and the public publicity of the sacrifice is the legacy of the ancestors. Zheng Guo's courtiers were all people outside the Gong clan, and they were indifferent to the internal disputes within the Gong clan and had nothing to do with their own interests.

Only Gongzi Ji Yi and Gongzi Ji Yi are dissatisfied. The two of them know in their hearts that even if the prince Ji Su can't ascend the throne, there will be no one for you Ji Tu to succeed him. Originally, the ascension of the prince to the throne has become a matter recognized by the whole country, isn't your Ji Tu plotting to usurp the throne! The muttering behind it has long been probed by Ji Raid. The second son was afraid that Zheng Ligong would harm him, so he escaped from Zheng Guo respectively.

Gongzi Ji Hu defected to Cai Guo. Gongzi Ji Yi defected to Chen Guo.
