Chapter 25: The Slaughter of the Alliance of Monarchs and Ministers (1)
1.
According to the order of Lu Zhuanggong, Sun Sheng took Wang Ji to Lu and lived in a suburban post house first. Although it was a high-standard reception, it was just that Lu Zhuanggong did not meet. A few days later, Sun Sheng sent Wang Ji to Qi State. Needless to say, Qi Xianggong welcomed his wedding. It's just that Sun Sheng asked to see him on the day of Qi Xianggong's wedding.
After the congratulations, Sun Sheng said: "The ancestor died in the Qi country, and the whole country of Lu mourned. My lord mourns my father, and I miss my mother. It is difficult to eat tea and dinner day and night, and my lord respectfully asks my uncle to take back my mother's assistant to the court, and also keep the filial piety period, which is also a necessary etiquette in the country of Lu. ”
Qi Xianggong was speechless when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he replied: "Wen Jiang is from the Lu country, since his nephew and nephew are respectfully invited, there is no reason for the widow to stay." ”
Having said that, there is a sense of helplessness in the heart. In fact, Qi Xianggong was inseparable from Wen Jiang in his heart. Since Lu Huan Gong was killed by Peng Sheng, almost no one knows the reason. Wen Jiang is ashamed that he can't live with his husband, and he is also ashamed of the government and people of Lu State, so he is ashamed to return to China. In order to avoid the reproach of the subjects of the Lu State, Wen Jiang did not return to China with the coffin of Lu Huangong, but remained in the Qi State.
According to the common sense at that time, the new widow Jiang should mourn and mourn, hang filial piety for her husband, and keep to herself. Wen Jiang insisted on not returning to Lu State, which gave Qi Xianggong a chance to relive Jiang Zhu'er's debauchery in the past. Therefore, Wen Jiang's stay in Qi was not like a normal widow's wife without makeup and mourning. Instead, he is still dressed in bright clothes and is inseparable from Qi Xianggong day and night, and has traveled in the same car, swaggering through the city. It is also a secret room to relive the feelings of the past and indulge all kinds of feelings. The days of the glue-like paint class also made Qi Xianggong how to let go.
However, it is understandable for Qi Xianggong to see Lu Guoxiao with courtesy and emotion. hindered public opinion, so he had to let Wen Jiang return to China.
Before leaving, the brothers and sisters were even more inseparable, and their eyes were covered with tears.
One side says that it is precious, and the other side "meets sometimes!" "We still promise to see each other in the future. Then shed tears and said goodbye.
On the one hand, Wen Jiang is reluctant to give up Jiang Zhu'er; On the other hand, he was ashamed to go back to his hometown to see the father of Lu Guo. When you leave the Qi country, you can't help but feel heavy under your feet, and you will follow suit. The mood was quite heavy, and when the convoy arrived at the Qilu border, a place called Cake Field, Wen Jiang insisted on stopping and resting.
Wen Jiang got out of the car and saw that the cake was neat and tidy, but the border was actually the territory of the Qi State, and then it was the territory of the Lu State. He looked at Lu Guo but didn't want to take a step forward. He sighed to the people around him and said, "This place is very good, this is my home." ”
Wen Jiang instructed the servants to return to Lu Zhuanggong: "Tell Tong'er that I am already a surviving person." Now I don't want anything else, I just want to be comfortable and leisurely, and I don't want to go back to the palace in this life. If you want me to go back to the palace, wait until I'm dead! ”
Wen Jiang said to the end, that is, he did not give Lu Zhuang Gong and the courtiers any room to persuade him to return.
Lu Zhuanggong also knew that his mother had no shame to return to the country, and she was his biological mother, so she should do her best to be filial, and the righteousness was to kill her father and enemy, how could she be raised in the palace. Even if Wen Jiang returned to the palace, Lu Zhuang Gong was not easy to deal with, and Zhu Qiu, who was in the Lu State Territory opposite the cake field, built a high-end post house for Wen Jiang and welcomed his mother Wen Jiang back to live in Lu State.
Here and the cake field is only separated by a water, you can overlook the mountains and rivers of Qi country, you can also borrow the scenery to have love, miss that piece of love. Wen Jiang readily agreed. Although he is in the Lu realm, his heart can look at the country of Qi from afar. Here, it can better reflect the spiritual realm of Wen Jiang although he is in the country of Lu, but his heart is towards the country of Qi.
Qi Xianggong ushered in a big wedding. After sending Wen Jiang away, Qi Xianggong's heart was also calm for a while.
Since he planned to kill Lu Huangong, there has been a lot of discussion in the country, saying that he, the monarch, has no way to do something unreasonable, and there will be retribution. Qi Xianggong was also ashamed and even more nameless when he heard this, and wanted to do something serious to calm domestic public opinion.
So what should he do as a monarch of the Qi Kingdom? Qi Xianggong thought: "Zheng Guo has Gao Qu Mi Jun, Wei has Ji Shuo was expelled from Qi, both are big topics, but Wei Guo's son Qianmu is the son-in-law of the Zhou royal family, Fang married Wang Ji, it can be said that he is a brother-in-law, and immediately Wei will go against Qianmu, and some of them are not easy to explain." It is better to crusade against Zheng Guo's murder of the king first, and the princes will definitely be afraid. But after thinking about it, it is difficult to calculate the victory or defeat of raising troops to defeat Zheng" After thinking about it, a trick flashed through his mind.
In fact, in Zheng Guo, Gao Qu Mi has always been deceived about the murder of the monarch. The people of Zheng Guo only knew that someone had shot Zheng Zhaogong with a secret arrow, but they didn't know who the person who shot the secret arrow was. So how did Qi Xianggong know that it was Gao Qumi who assassinated Zheng Zhaogong?
This also starts with the military official who followed Zheng Zhaogong and was responsible for personal protection.
That day, the officer reported to the priest what the scud had seen and heard. The information about the executioner who assassinated Zheng Zhaogong was disclosed to the sacrificial foot. I really hope that the sacrifice will be able to come forward and correct the law to Gao Qu Mi to avenge Zheng Zhaogong's revenge. But he was given this message by the sacrificial foot. Because the sacrificial foot is sensitive to the fact that behind the murder of the monarch, it is still a political issue between the clans. It is difficult to avenge Zheng Zhao with his own strength, but even if he takes revenge, he will be involved in the whirlpool of the fierce battle of the clan for the throne. However, the sacrifice still had an extra heart, so that this military official and a group of people hurriedly fled from Zheng Guo, the land of right and wrong. The words whispered to the priests were to let him flee to the Qi State and reveal to the Qi State the fact that Gao Qumi had shot Zheng Zhaogong with a secret arrow.
So after the military official testified in the court, he fled from Zheng Guo. Several military officials fled to Qi and asked to meet Qi Xianggong, who wanted to tell the reason why Gao Qumi shot Zheng Zhaogong. This scene was engraved into Qi Xianggong's heart. Qi Xianggong left a few sergeants to fill his guards, so that they could be corrected in person later.

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.
