Chapter 21: Lu Huan Gong Died in Qi (1)
1.
According to the etiquette and customs of the Spring and Autumn Period, men and women would frequent contact between their parents' homes after marriage to deepen their relationship. However, the status of the monarch's wife is noble, so naturally she can't be casual, and the distance between the two countries is long, even if the monarch has a car, the bumps and fatigue will make it difficult for ordinary women to accept. So you can't say that you will go back to your parents' home.
Wen Jiangzi married Lu Huan, and he was happy, and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son is named Ji Tong, and the second son is named Ji Jiyou. Lu Huan Gong is also very satisfied with his glamorous wife, rarely takes care of the daughter of the harem, and tries his best to make the beauty pampered in a thousand ways. It's just that Wen Jianghua is also happy before the moon, but he often reveals a trace of longing. This kind of longing is nothing else, it is precisely the old love when the love first opened often comes to my heart. Wen Jiang often has a time when he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he can't sleep at night. Every time at this time, Lu Huan Gong thought that Wen Jiang was homesick and relieved him with the lingering of a man. It is said that Lu Huan Gong is also the king of a country, but he still has a little more gentleness in front of a talented beauty like Wen Jiang.
In the fourteenth year of Duke Lu Huan, Duke Qi died at the end of his life. Jiang Zhu'er succeeded to the throne and became the monarch of Qi and became the Duke of Qi.
Wen Jiang's son Ji Tong is also 13 years old. Wen Jiang originally wanted to go to Qi Capital with her monarch husband to offer condolences and congratulations, but Wen Jiang's visit may be a special congratulations for Qi Xianggong, and maybe there will be a chance to relive the old dream. Wen Jiang thought very well, but Lu Huan Gong disagreed. It was prevented on the grounds that the road was far away, the country of Qi was a big country, the new monarch was newly established, and there were many princes coming and going, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the new monarch. Wen Jiang thought about it, how could Jiang Zhu'er take care of her Wen Jiang when he was busy with state affairs, so he could only continue to wait for the opportunity.
Another 4 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Wen Jiang couldn't hold back the surging in her heart, and asked Lu Huan Gong to take her to Qi Country to take a look at her relatives at home. Of course, what she wants to see most is her former lover, her own brother Jiang Zhu'er. Lu Huangong saw that his son was about to catch up with his height, and Wen Jiang was not the girl she was back then. Although he had heard about Wen Jiang and Jiang Zhu'er, he had a bad heart. Now that I think about it, Wen Jiang won't be so good. It's pitiful enough to think of the beloved wife around me. Since he got married and left home, he has not returned to his parents' house, and in order to soothe the melancholy in the corners of Wen Jiang's eyes and eyebrows, he readily agreed. Going to Linzi, the capital of Qi, with great fanfare, of course, as the monarch of a country, there is also his political revenge, adjusting the relationship between Qi and Ji, and realizing the harmonious coexistence of Qi, Lu and Ji is the true intention of Lu Huan.
When Qi Xianggong heard that Lu Huan and his wife were coming to Qi, he showed unusual excitement. Qi Xianggong personally went to the border to greet him. Of course, only he knows who this monarch is greeting in his heart.
For a long time in the past eighteen years, Jiang Zhu'er has always remembered the float made of red silk to send off relatives. The red float that disappeared from the horizon in his eyes seemed to take away his soul at once. Qi Xianggong, who is busy with state affairs and conquests, always has the appearance of the red float in his dreams, and the charming demeanor of Sister Wen Jiang appears. There are as many women as there are around Jiang Zhu'er, and none of them can be as memorable as Wen Jiang. Wen Jiang has never returned to his parents' home for eighteen years. Jiang Zhu'er, as the monarch, has no choice. often suppresses that longing in the bottom of my heart. First of all, on the day of Qi Yigong's death, I was afraid that this man and woman would be incorruptible and shameful, resurrect the ashes, and retell the old feelings. Therefore, Qi Yigong repeatedly refused to allow Wen Jiang to go home to visit relatives. After the death of Qi Jiaogong, Lu Huangong heard that Wen Jiang and her brother Jiang Zhu'er had an extraordinary relationship, so he deliberately refused the opportunity to meet Wen Jiang and Jiang Zhu'er. It's been 18 years. Therefore, Wen Jiang does not return to his parents' home, it is not a matter of the distance of the road, Qi and Lu are neighbors, whether it is close or not, whether it is far or not, the problem is the abnormal affection of this brother and sister.
Now Lu Huan Gong is a little relieved in his heart. After eighteen years of changes in the world, their brother and sister should be dying of the psychology that is despised by the world. What made Lu Huan Gong feel even more relieved was the fact that Zhou Tianzi's daughter wanted to marry Qi Xianggong. This time, he also took Zhou Tianzi's entrustment to talk about marrying the daughter of the Son of Heaven to Qi Xianggong. Of course, he had already sent an envoy to inform Qi Xianggong of the marriage. This kind of marriage has appeared, and you Qi Xianggong should also be more restrained. What else can you think, besides, their children are all older, and the things that are incorruptible and shameful will be reined in and abandoned anyway.
Lu Huan and his wife walked together, and the car went out of Lu Realm to Shuoshui, and Qi Xianggong was already waiting here.
Qi Xianggong personally went to the border to greet his sister and brother-in-law, which can be regarded as a rare etiquette for a monarch. After meeting and greeting each other, Qi Xianggong looked at Wen Jiang intently, eighteen years of vicissitudes in the world, but Wen Jiang still has charm. Qi Xianggong's hot gaze was still the same as back then, but this gaze did not make Wen Jiang shy. Wen Jiang also replied with the same hot gaze, which made Lu Huan Gong look embarrassed. He drew Qi Xianggong's attention back from that predicament by recounting Zhou Tianzi's trust.
Qi Xianggong didn't mind agreeing one by one. It can be regarded as allowing Lu Huan to complete the trust of the Son of Heaven and negotiate the marriage.
The guests and hosts of the two countries were courteous and warm. Most of them are the tactful reminiscences of Qi Xianggong, Jiang Zhu'er and Wen Jiang, and most of them are Lu Huangong who is in embarrassment. Fortunately, this is a post station to rest, each of them stayed in the post house for one night, and the next day they both opened.
Drove together and rushed to Linzi, the capital of Qi.
The two sides sat down in the post house, Qi Xianggong still paid attention to Wen Jiang, but Lu Huangong paid attention to Ji Guo.
"My brother-in-law is now the king of a big country, he looks stable, and he also has the demeanor of a big country." When Lu Huan Gong said this, he was actually reminding Qi Xianggong to pay attention to things.
Qi Xianggong said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't be just, Lu is a big country with strong soldiers and horses." ”
Lu Huan said: "In these years, the princes have fought each other, and the lives have been ruined, and in the opinion of the widows: peace should be the precious, the people's peace should be the goal, and the world without war is auspicious." ”
Qi Xianggong immediately realized that Lu Huangong wanted to untie the knot between Qi and Ji, and ignored it. changed the topic and said: "Sister Wen Jiang has not returned for many years, and the relatives in the palace miss it very much. My sister should follow me into the palace, and you will rest in the post house. Another day, you and I will discuss state affairs. ”
When Lu Huan saw that Qi Xianggong interrupted himself to talk about state affairs, he had no choice but to stop. Qi Xianggong first set up a banquet in the post house and simply entertained Lu Huan and his wife. I didn't know if it was okay for Wen Jiang to enter the palace, so I had to agree. The entourage doctor Shen Nuo (nuò), who was sitting on the side, repeatedly gave Lu Huan Gong a look, but Lu Huan Gong didn't mind.
In Lu Huangong's heart, it is also common sense for Wen Jiang to enter the palace. Mrs. has not sought family affection for eighteen years, and now she has returned, she must be close to her family.
After the meal, Qi Xianggong carried Wen Jiang into the palace, only saying that he would meet with the concubines and relatives of the old palace.
2.
Sending Qi Xianggong and Wen Jiang away, Lu Huangong returned to the post house to rest.
Lu Huangong's personal doctor, Shen Nuo (nuò), came to the door.
"'Women have a room, men have a home' has been restricted since ancient times. You can't blasphete this principle, otherwise there will be chaos. When a woman gets married, if her parents are there, it is natural to visit her relatives every year, but now that her parents are gone, I haven't heard of the reason why my sister visits my brother. Lu is a country of etiquette, how can you do such an informal thing? Doctor Shen Nuo had a different opinion on Lu Huan's release of Wen Jiang into the palace.
Lu Huangong felt that what Shen Nuo said made sense, but he had already promised Wen Jiang, so it was difficult to change his mind and disagree. Besides, the person has already left the post house, and it is not good for him to send someone to chase him out, and then he will offend Qi Xianggong.
How did others know that in order to welcome Wen Jiang's return to Qi, Qi Xianggong had already prepared. Qi Xianggong got the information that Wen Jiang was going to return to China, and ordered someone to dig the ground to build an underground secret room in advance. After taking Wen Jiang back to the palace, he didn't give Wen Jiang a chance to see anyone in the palace, but took him directly to the secret room to set up another private banquet. In the underground secret room, the subordinates had already arranged the sumptuous wine and meat, and Qi Xianggong wanted to drink alone with Wen Jiang to catch up.
The banquet was placed between the two people, and the two raised their glasses, looked at each other, and burst out with sparks. The pain of eighteen years of parting is like dried firewood and grass, ignited by the spark of seeing and feeling, and it burns for a while. The two couldn't control themselves anymore.
After a bottle of wine, Qi Xianggong remembered the red silk cover car when Wen Jiang got married. recited the note poem that Wen Jiang left for himself back then:
"Tao Youying, Ye Ye is spiritual. Now is not broken, there is no spring! Tell me to do it. ”
After Wen Jiang drank the wine, he heard that Qi Xianggong could still chant the farewell poem of the year. My heart was already drunk. Wen Jiang covered his mouth and smiled, the voice reminded Qi Xianggong of Wen Jiang who had always tickled his heart back then.
"You remember the note. I can't remember what you wrote. ”
Wen Jiang thought for a while, and recited the poems that Jiang Zhu'er left for himself sentence by sentence:
"The peach is blooming, and it is shining. When the household does not fold, it floats for Tho. Groaning and groaning. ”
Qi Xianggong's chest ignited the fire of Jiang Zhu'er's longing and desire. He waved his hand and scolded the attendant to stand down. In his well-designed underground secret room, he hugged Wen Jiang, broke the boundaries and rules of his brother and sister, and started to do things.
In the secret room, the brother and sister have no scruples, venting their desires that have not been realized for eighteen years.
In the secret room, the two were infatuated with each other, and they had fun while drinking. After drinking, they stayed in the secret room, because they slept late, and they were still naked together.
Lu Huan saw that Wen Jiang had not returned all night, and he was lonely in the post house. I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart, but yesterday's words of Dr. Shen Nuo rang in my ears again, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He sent people around him to the palace gate to inquire for information. The people around him came to the gate of the Qi Palace, and when they saw the people in the palace, they carefully asked about the situation in the palace. Most people don't know what's going on. Occasionally, someone will tell you some details.
Someone said: "Mrs. Jiang entered the Qi Palace since she entered, but she was just a brother and sister to talk about their relationship, and there was no other palace concubine to get together." ”
Someone said: "In order to welcome Mrs. Wen Jiang, the monarch specially built a secret room and did not allow others to approach ......"
The speaker is mysterious, and the listener can't help but be a little frightened.
The person who went out came back and reported to Lu Huangong, and Lu Huangong suddenly felt shocked. I had a premonition that things were not good, and I couldn't wait to step into the palace to check the truth.
Lu Huan Gong hurried to the palace gate, and someone happened to report: "The mother of Lu is out of the palace!" ”
Lu Huan Gong saw that Wen Jiang was not dressed neatly, and his face was a little worried, but he walked out of the palace without honor and satisfaction. Lu Huan was angry, and asked in a cloak: "Who was you with when you entered the palace yesterday, and you didn't return all night?" ”
Wen Jiang said nonchalantly: "I'm drinking with Concubine Lian, what's wrong?" ”
Lu Huan calmed down, but his eyes were sharper: "Your brother Jiang Zhu'er didn't come to accompany the wine?" ”
Wen Jiang replied, "My brother didn't come. ”
Lu Huan Gong sneered: "This is strange, just by virtue of the love of brother and sister, I haven't seen each other for eighteen years, Concubine Lian invites you, and my brother doesn't come to accompany you?" ”
Wen Jiang immediately changed his words and said: "When I drank to the middle, I came to persuade him to have a cup, and he left immediately." ”
"Why don't you become an official after drinking? Where to sleep without leaving the palace? Who goes to bed with you? ”
Lu Huan Gong angrily asked many questions that he was not worried about, and he insisted on asking Wen Jiang in a hurry. It's just that I have a greasy heart, and it's not easy to get angry.
Wen Jiang said: "Where did so many problems come from? It is inconvenient in the middle of the night, even the concubine stays, there are many empty rooms in the palace, the concubine spends the night in the West Palace, looking back on the boudoir in the past, and the concubine sends the palace to wait, what do you have any doubts. ”
Lu Huan Gong still didn't give up: "Where is Jiang Zhu'er sleeping?" ”
Wen Jiang listened to Lu Huangong's words, and his face turned red and said, "How can I take care of my brother's sleeping place as a younger sister?" It's in his Qi country again, it's ridiculous what you asked! ”
Lu Huan Gong did not relent: "I'm afraid that if I am a brother, I have to take care of my sister's sleeping place!" ”
"What are you talking about?" Wen Jiang was a little anxious.
"What's the matter, I heard that Jiang Zhu'er specially built a secret room for your return......
Wen Jiang heard Lu Huan Gong say "secret room", and felt that he had mastered all this ugly thing clearly. There is no point in denying it in his mouth, so he simply splashes it, and his snot cries and cries with tears.
Lu Huan Gong was in Qi State, helpless, although he was resentful in his heart, it was not good to attack here. When he returned to the post house, he sent someone to announce his resignation to Qi Xiang.
Qi Xianggong knew that it was difficult to rest assured that he had formed a bad relationship and did evil things, and as soon as Wen Jiang walked out of the secret room, his room sent someone to follow and spy on him to find out about the meeting between Lu Huan and his wife.
The report said: "Lu Huan and his wife had a quarrel, so and so ....... Lu Huan Gong even said the "secret room".
Qi Xiangcheng didn't know what to do, and when he saw Lu Ren asking to see him, he said that Lu Huan Gong was going to leave. I thought: The scandal between myself and Wen Jiang has been leaked, what can I do? He thought about it and said that he wanted to make a trip for Lu Huan and his wife, and invited Lu Huan and his wife to visit Niushan.
Lu Huangong and Wen Jiang had a lot of trouble, and pushed the appointment of Qi Xianggong several times, but they couldn't push it, so they had to drive out of the suburbs with their orders to complete Qi Xianggong's trip.
Wen Jiang was sullen, saying that he would not go with Lu Huan Gong and would stay in the post house to rest.
At this time, Qi Xianggong already had evil intentions.
One Qi Xianggong was reluctant to go back to Wen Jiang, eighteen years apart, and he had to leave hastily just after meeting, and he couldn't bear it; Second, Qi Xianggong was worried that Lu Huangong would hold a grudge and become an enemy, and Wen Jiang would not have a good life; Third, Qi Xianggong has always been jealous of Lu Huan's help to Ji Guo. This is what Qi Xianggong cares about the most, before his father died, he still handed over the task of destroying Ji to himself, with Lu Huan Gong here, how can he destroy Ji Guo with Qi alone. With public and private, he Qi Xianggong had the idea of taking the opportunity to turn out Lu Huangong in his heart.
So before going to Niushan, Qi Xianggong privately called Jiang Pengsheng.
"Do you remember that when Ji Guo was fighting, Lu Guo was our enemy?"
"Of course I remember, he Lu Huangong shot me with an arrow, and I still have an arrow wound."
"So with him Lu Huan Gong here, there will be no realization of our great cause of revenge, you know?"
"Then take advantage of Lu Huangong's arrival this time to kill him."
"It's going to be top secret. During the banquet, I would heat me and get drunk. After the evening is over, you will supervise the car alone to send Ji Yun to ...... halfway. ”
In this way, the son Jiang Pengsheng ordered a secret decree: after the Xi dispersed, Lu Huangong's life was killed.
It's called: don't do it, don't do it! Jiang Pengsheng still remembered that in the melee of Ji Guo, Lu Huan Gong had shot an arrow at his revenge, and happily accepted the order.
Qi Xianggong took Lu Huan Gong to watch the scenery of Niu Mountain. After a long journey, he set up a banquet for his brother-in-law at the Niushan Post House, and invited the piano masters and dancers of the Qi country to sing and dance. Xianggong is even more smiling and courteous to this brother-in-law.
Lu Huan Gong was thinking about Wen Jiang in his heart, and he was angry. It doesn't match the singing and dancing in front of me, and has no intention of appreciating it, so he just bows his head and is speechless, silently raising his glass.
Qi Xianggong didn't care, and instructed the doctors to take turns to toast the cup, and asked the official to be inward, holding the bottle and kneeling to persuade him. Although Lu Huan Gong said that he was depressed in his heart, he was not good at postponing the hospitality in front of him. You come and go, and before you know it, you're already drunk.
Before this banquet was over, Lu Huan Gong had already fallen into vomiting and chaos, drunk into a mess and poured into a mess between the banquets.
Seeing this, Qi Xianggong had a bottom in his heart, so he called Jiang Pengsheng to send Lu Huan Gong back to the post house. At this time, Lu Huangong's mind was no longer sober. With weak legs and unstable footing, he was carried into the car by Jiang Pengsheng and settled in the car.
Jiang Pengsheng gestured in the car and did not allow others to approach. It is said that it is for the safety of the monarch of the country of Lu, and no one is allowed to approach. even drove Lu Huangong's personal guards to the side.
He and the imperial servant sent Lu Huan Gong back to the post house. At first, those Lu Huangong's personal guards also felt that the lord was drunk. The body is ugly, and it makes sense for Jiang Pengsheng, the son of the general of Qi State, to send him off in person. Then I felt that it was wrong. So Jiang Pengsheng walked a long way with Lu Huangong, Fang woke up, and hurriedly chased after him.
When he was less than two miles away from the post house, Peng Sheng saw Lu Huan's snoring and knew that he had fallen asleep. It's time to take matters into your own hands. He hugged Lu Huangong's ribs with both arms. Gongzi Jiang Peng is famous for his strength, and between his arms, he hugged Lu Huangong's chest, and as soon as he used his strength, it was like an anal lock that tightened Lu Huangong's chest. Lu Huangong immediately had difficulty breathing. Jiang Pengsheng exerted himself again, and there was a sound of ribs breaking in Lu Huangong's body. Lu Huangong screamed, a stream of blood splattered from his mouth, and the blood flowed all over the car and immediately stopped breathing.
The guards in the back sensed that they had a great responsibility to break away from their lord. Desperately chasing, but the imperial servant received Jiang Pengsheng's order to drive the carriage quickly. The personal guards were still some distance from the carriage, and they heard Lu Huangong's scream. The guards had a bad premonition and tried to catch up. Jiang Pengsheng took out his waist knife and shouted: "The monarch of Lu Guoguo died in a dream after being drunk, go into the city to report to the lord, who dares to talk more and see that I don't cut off his head first!" ”
Lu Huangong's guards saw blood on the car through the light, although they felt strange, but they saw Peng Sheng's fierce color, the knife was shining cold, and he didn't dare to say more!
You can only follow it and go to the city to see what it is.
When Qi Xianggong learned that Lu Huan Gong died in a dream, he was sure that Peng Sheng had done a good job, and he pretended to be sad on the surface, but he even squeezed out a few tears. immediately ordered the thick burial into the coffin and sent someone to report the funeral to Lu Guo.
