19. Zheng Ligong fled

1.

Qi Jiaogong suffered a defeat in Ji Guo, and his spirit did not slow down. After a bumpy ride, I returned to Linzi and felt panicked. I often feel like a stone is pressing on my heart, and I can't breathe. In the spring of the following year, Qi Jiaogong's condition became even more serious, often suffocating to the point that his face was pale and his heart was beating violently. so much so that he was bedridden. In addition to the imperial doctor, Qi Jiaogong did not seek medical treatment to save his life. But his condition was getting worse and worse, and Qi Jiaogong knew that he was about to die. summoned the son Jiang Zhu'er and entrusted the future.

Qi Jiaogong said: "Since the day the widow succeeded to the throne, he promised his father's entrustment to take revenge on the eradication of discipline. After decades of fighting between the north and the south, I thought that I would be very compatible with Zheng Zhuanggong and achieve great things. Unexpectedly, as soon as he Zheng Zhuang Gonggong died, he colluded with the Song State to set up Ji Tu, and became the enemy of my Qi State. It's a pity that the widow has been planning for decades, and once he goes, it backfires. Without the help of Lu Guo and Zheng Guo, the great cause of widowhood would have been accomplished! Now I can only hand over the task of destroying Ji and revenge to you and others, don't forget the humiliation of Qi Guo, and I will definitely take Ji Guo to comfort my ancestors. Don't forget! ”

Jiang Zhu'er knelt at the head of Qi Gong's bed on the spot, and swore to destroy Ji and take revenge!

In the spring of 697 BC, the Duke of Qi died of illness, and the son Jiang Zhuer ascended the throne with the name of Duke Xiang of Qi.

Song Zhuang Gong was beaten by Zheng Lu's coalition army inexplicably, and he was not prepared, the more he wanted to Zheng Ligong, the more he hated Zheng Ligong, you Ji Tu didn't pay back the debt, and joined Lu Huan Gong to crusade against my Song State, it seems that the only mortal enemy of Song State is you Zheng Ligong. So Song Zhuang Gong, who hated Zheng to the bone, came up with an idea, he wanted to use the valuables obtained from Zheng Guo such as Suo Jin and jade to bribe Qi State, Cai State, Wei Guo and Chen State respectively, hoping to gain the support of the four countries through these things, and ask to support Song State to take revenge.

This time, the Duke of Song Zhuang sent a powerful envoy to shake his lips and puff his tongue to tell how Ji Tu was hypocritical and cunning, and how Zheng Guo was unreasonable, including the character of the sacrificial foot, was accused and slandered, so as to win the support of the kings of the four countries.

Chen Guo and Cai Guo have always had a grudge against Zheng Guo, and after the death of Zheng Zhuanggong, several sons competed with each other, making the military strength no longer what it used to be. However, the Song State became stronger and stronger, and united with the Qi State to form a great force in the Central Plains. Wei Xuangong saw that the Qi State had fought against the discipline, and the Song State had supported it, and there was no doubt that he agreed to support the Song State.

However, at this time, the State of Qi was already in the era of Qi Gong.

After receiving a gift from the Duke of Song Zhuang, the Shang Dynasty discussed, and the Secretary Gao Wei suggested supporting the Song State to attack Zheng, because Zheng Ligong united with the Lu State and supported the Ji State in the key battle of the Ji Dynasty, and it was the time to retaliate against the Zheng State, so troops should be sent. However, Qi Xianggong was not interested in the dispute in the Central Plains, so he sent the doctor Yongli to lead a hundred and fifty cars to help. Cai Guo, Chen Guo, and Wei Guo also sent their own troops, and in response to the call of Song Zhuang Gong, they formed a coalition to crusade against Zheng Guo.

When Zheng Ligong learned that the Five Kingdoms were coming, he decided to transfer troops to fight a decisive battle with the Song coalition army

But he said, "Don't fight a decisive battle!" A big country like the Song State is very powerful, and now in order to take revenge, he can send troops to attack with all his strength, and unite the five armies of Qi, Cai, Wei, and Chen. If the war is lost, Zheng Guo's building will collapse, and the society will not be guaranteed. If we are lucky enough to win, then we will have an eternal grudge with the Song General, and Zheng Guo will never be at peace! It's better to defend the city, and the suburbs will be squandered by him, so that I can protect Zheng Guo's country from falling to the peace. The soldiers of the five countries did not carry enough food and grass, and it must not last long, and they would naturally retreat if they could not overcome it. ”

The sacrifice is to ignore the lives of the people on the outskirts of Zheng Guo, to protect Zheng Du, and to let Zheng Guo survive. Zheng Li's public opinion is still undecided. He thought: The border city was tragically destroyed, and the people were allowed to be ravaged by the armies of the five countries, even if this catastrophe passed, how would the people think of him as a king!

Without waiting for Zheng Ligong's decision, he issued a command with the order of the government, ordering the suburbs and the people of the capital to defend the city together, and if there were any disobedience to the military order and indiscriminately inviting war in the name of protecting the people in the suburbs, they would be arrested and put in prison and controlled.

Zheng Li had scruples, but the military order of the imperial court had been issued, and he was noncommittal. I can only let the priest command go.

The armies of the Five Kingdoms arrived in Zhengdu, making Zheng Guo face the crusade of the Five Kingdoms again. It's just that this time the Five Kingdoms crusade, and the city is no longer Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Ligong is not as confident and sure as Zheng Zhuanggong. The heart is like numbness, and he goes to the city from time to time to look.

Song Zhuang Gong personally supervised the battle, and the army converged at the east gate. successively submitted a petition to Zheng Guo, but Zheng Jun was not seen to fight. I saw that Zheng Jun was closed and kept in the city, without the slightest atmosphere of facing the battle. I don't even reply to a challenge book.

Song Zhuang Gong thought what this Zheng Ligong was, it was simply a turtle with a shrunken head, so he organized the sergeants to shout and scold outside the gate of Zheng Guo. scolded Zheng Ligong for being despicable and shameless, and not paying his debts! Scolding the sacrifice is despicable and indecent, and it goes back on its word! scolded the soldiers of Zheng Guo for being shrunken turtles, without blood, and did not dare to come out to fight! ……

Looking at Zheng Guocheng again, the soldiers were waiting for the battle, but they didn't scold back. If the Zheng army launched a siege, it would be a bow and crossbow waiting.

This stumped Song Zhuanggong. If he can't provoke a war, his Song Zhuang Gong's team will not be able to destroy Zheng's army, let alone vent his personal anger.

The army of the Five Roads gathered in the suburbs and couldn't vent, so they burned and looted in the eastern suburbs. Then, set fire to the canal gate of Zhengcheng.

The canal gate of Zhengcheng is a side gate, although there is a city wall gate, but the canal gate is also a deserted suburb, there is a temple dedicated to the Zheng family. The canal gate was breached, and the five-way army swarmed in. Go straight to the Zheng Temple. Destruction of the statue of Cheng Kwok Tai Temple and the temple building. Along the way, all the houses were damaged, the rafters were pulled out, all the houses collapsed, and they were set on fire everywhere. Everywhere the army went, the houses were demolished and burned, and they were in shambles. Song Zhuang Gong could not get Zheng Jun to confront him, so he could only use it to vent and humiliate Zheng Guojun and his ministers.

It will not be so easy to continue the siege within the canal gate. There are still barriers to block, and the soldiers of Zheng Guo are concentrated here, and the crossbowmen and crossbowmen are firing thousands of arrows, and it is difficult for the armies of the five countries to approach. Song Zhuang Gong had no choice but to vent his personal anger and let the Fifth Route Army loot the people on the outskirts of the city and withdraw angrily.

This unprecedented catastrophe is finally over.

Zheng Ligong ushered in a scolding from the people of Zheng Guo.

In the face of the catastrophe of the people of Zheng Guo, Zheng Ligong was also heartbroken, and he was depressed for a long time after the incident. However, Zheng Ligong also wanted to blame this catastrophe on sacrificial feet. Occasionally, there are also words about how the sacrifice foot does not want to resist. It was transmitted to the ears of the sacrificial feet, which made the sacrificial feet very uncomfortable. So the two began to have a gap in their hearts.

In fact, the sacrificial foot is also helpless for Zheng Ligong's enthronement. His life was threatened. In his eyes, this Ji Tu is not a person who has a noble appearance and can achieve great things as Zheng Zhuanggong said. On the contrary, he felt that this Ji Tu was looking forward and not assertive. can only rely on his sacrificial foot to support, otherwise Zheng Guo's major affairs will be a mess. However, after the crusade of the army of the Five Kingdoms, Ji Tu shirked his responsibility on various occasions and retreated the responsibility of the people's complaints to himself, and the boss was unhappy in his heart. Sometimes he began to expose his dissatisfaction with Zheng Ligong. didn't even ask him Zheng Ligong to do things.

In this way, the gap between the two is getting deeper and deeper.

Zheng Ligong thought secretly in his heart: "Sacrificing enough is the king, one person is above ten thousand people, he sacrifices enough to do things without asking the widow, isn't this huge Zheng Guo the world where he sacrifices his feet?" Where is there still my Zheng Ligong's court, rather than being controlled by the priest, it is better to get rid of this Shangqing. ”

So Zheng Ligong began to move the idea of getting rid of the sacrificial feet.

2.

March of this year. King Zhou Huan was terminally ill, and King Zhou Huan asked the people around him to summon Zhou Gong Hei to the bed to discuss the future.

King Huan of Zhou did not appoint a crown prince, that is, he still hesitated on the question of who would ascend the throne. King Zhou Huan's thoughts can be seen clearly by others. Because what he likes in his heart is the second son Ji Ke, but the eldest son comes first. Therefore, the reason why he did not establish a prince before his death was because he wanted to give Ji Ke a chance. But it's time for the end of my life. This matter had to be explained to the imperial court. King Zhou Huan said to Zhou Gong's black shoulder:

"The widow has never set up a prince, but he is very optimistic about Ji Ke. This prince is talented and extraordinary, but the rules set by the first king are unshakable. Once the widow dies, he will be succeeded by his eldest son Ji Tuo, as a matter of course. Because Ji Ke is second, Ji Tuo is the longest. Although I love Jike, I must be the elder. Obtaining the throne of Jike is only after Jidto. Therefore, the widow made a will: the brother will end up with the brother. This is in line with the rules of the Zhou royal family. Now I entrust Fu Qing with the matter of brother to brother in the future, relying on Qing to preside. ”

In fact, at this moment, Zhou Gong's black shoulders are already a white-haired old man. How can you live until the time of Ji Tuo's death to preside over the end of the brother?

I really need to explain a few words here.

Zhou Gong Hei Shoulder is a person who has practiced and can also maintain health. And he found someone to divinate his lifespan, saying that he had a 200-year yang life. So in the court of the Zhou royal family, he became an immortal-like figure. For the longevity of King Zhou Huan, he also came up with a lot of ideas for self-cultivation. It's just that human fate is predestined, and King Zhou Huan knows that his birthday has arrived. Therefore, King Zhou Huan believes that this Duke of Zhou's black shoulders can preside over the major events of his brother and brother. There is also a piece that is that Zhou Gong Hei Shoulder is Ji Ke's concubine, and he can preside over it impartially, so King Zhou Huan explained the aftermath to Zhou Gong Hei Shoulder on his deathbed.

In 696 BC, King Huan of Zhou died. According to the will of King Huan of Zhou, the black shoulders of Zhou Gong were given the throne by Ji Tuo, and he was called King Zhou Zhuang.

When Zheng Ligong received the funeral report from the Zhou royal family, he had the heart to participate in the funeral ceremony of King Zhou Huan. This is also what the princes must do. Since the Zhou royal family sent people to report the funeral, it was to let the princes participate in the mourning, and there was a ceremony for the new king to ascend the throne. All princes should take this opportunity to show respect for the royal family. Zheng Ligong knew that his ascension to the throne was not very glorious, and Ji Hu was wandering outside to threaten his throne, wouldn't it be a good thing to be recognized by the Zhou royal family at this time!

However, the matter was vetoed by the sacrificial body. Saizu did not agree with Zheng Ligong to go to mourn, and did not agree to send envoys to Zhoucheng to mourn.

Saizu explained: "King Zhou Huan had a grudge against me Zheng General Zhu Dan on the shoulder during his lifetime. Although the first king is gone, the descendants cannot let go, and when the time comes, we will send people to pay tribute to the mourning, will we not be humiliating? ”

The court sacrificed a word, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty followed suit, and it was impossible for Zheng Ligong to insist on his own ideas. Because he could not stand alone in opposition to the Manchu ministers.

Although Zheng Ligong did not object on the surface, he was even more angry at the sacrifice in his heart. It seems that as long as there is a sacrifice in the court, there will be no time for him to be obedient to Zheng Ligong.

On this day, Zheng Ligong took a walk in the back garden of the palace with a lot of heart. Only Dr. Yongjie was with him.

The weather is very good, the blue sky and white clouds, the flowers are in full bloom, and the birds are flying and chirping. Zheng Ligong faced this beautiful scenery, but he didn't show any happiness. Instead, he sighed.

Yongjie saw that Zheng Ligong's face was haggard and sullen. stepped forward and asked Zheng Ligong: "It is a good season for spring flowers to bloom and birds to contend, why is the lord so unhappy?" ”

"Cough-" Zheng Ligong sighed and said, "The birds are flying freely, and they are not controlled by others. How can a widow be rejoiced if he is not as good as a bird? ”

Listening to Zheng Ligong's words, Yongjie naturally understood in his heart. Since Zheng Ligong ascended the throne, his heart has not been comfortable. One is to hate Song Guo for threatening him with death and letting him betray his subjective will; The second is that he is also very jealous of this Ji Tu's cunning. As the prime minister of Zheng Guo, he took over the power of Zheng Guo's government with one hand, and the ministers had their own ghosts, and they would rather offend Ji Tu than offend him. These things are all in the eyes. So I know Zheng Ligong's lament.

"The lord is worried about the people who are in power today, right?"

Zheng Ligong sighed and shook his head. I thought: You Yongjie is also the son-in-law of the sacrificial foot, and it is rare to confide in you Yongjie if you hate the sacrificial foot. Yongjie also understood that Zheng Ligong was speechless. In fact, Yongjie has long been disgusted with the monopoly of sacrificial feet.

Yongjie said tentatively: "I heard that 'the king is like a father, and the minister is like a son.'" 'The Son cannot share the sorrow of the Father, it is the Son's misfortune; If a minister can't solve difficulties for the king, then he is not a loyal minister. If the lord can trust me, Yongjie will be the confidant of the lord. If the lord has something to trust, the minister should repay him with death! ”

Zheng Ligong looked at Yongjie calmly and was silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Yongjie suddenly knelt at the feet of Zheng Ligong. said frankly to Zheng Ligong: "Jun Xinchen, it's not a pity for the minister to die!" ”

Zheng Ligong waved his hand behind him, allowing him to avoid left and right.

"Qing is the beloved son-in-law of the sacrificial foot, and the thing that the widow is worried about is the sacrificial foot of this person, can you help me?"

"Son-in-law is a fact, but love is not. The lord knew that my marriage to the sacrificial clan was actually forced by the Duke of Songzhuang, not his own heart. The minister and the sacrificial foot met, and every time he talked about Ji Hu, the minister felt that the sacrificial foot was attached. The minister can understand that there is still Ji Hu in his heart, but he is afraid of the Song Kingdom and does not dare to abolish it easily. ”

Zheng Ligong saw that Yongjie could say what was in his heart, and expressed his loyalty, so he told his heart all about it.

"Sacrificing this man has become a trouble in the hearts of the widows, and if they do not get rid of this man, the widows will eventually be restrained by it and die. If Qing can kill the sacrificial foot, the widow should seal you as the secretary to replace the sacrificial foot, but I don't know what plan you have to get rid of the sacrificial foot? ”

"Today, the houses in the eastern suburbs were destroyed by the Song soldiers, and the people had no fixed residence. The lord will go to the court tomorrow to order Situ to take people to repair the people's houses, and in addition, he can order the sacrificial foot to bring some food and clothing to the eastern suburbs to appease the people there. The minister can take this opportunity to go to the eastern suburbs to arrange a meal for the sacrificial foot, and then the minister can start by the way and poison the sacrificial foot with wine. ”

Zheng Ligong pondered for a moment, and his face became solemn.

"This matter is not trivial, once you miss, you and I will fall from the sky, and our lives will not be guaranteed. Therefore, the widow entrusted this important matter to the secretary, and the secretary should handle it carefully, and must not leak it to anyone, otherwise you and I will be ruined. ”

Yongjie solemnly promised.

After Yongjie received the order, he went out of the palace gate and returned home.

His wife, Saiji, greeted her with a smile as usual. Seeing the sacrificial clan, Yongjie thought of what he was about to do to the sacrificial feet, and he unconsciously showed a trace of apprehension. Involuntarily turned his gaze away, not looking at the priest squarely, and even always avoiding the priest's gaze.

After being a sacrificial foot, the sacrificial clan was a wise and wise woman. has been married to Yongjie for three years, and knows everything about Yongjiao's behavior. Seeing Yongjiao's abnormal expression, he had doubts in his heart.

"Is there anything going on in the DPRK today?" The priest looked at Yongjie and asked as he avoided his eyes.

Yongjie hurriedly shook his head and replied, "No." ”

"The concubine doesn't look at you right, and her eyes are always avoiding me. I think something big must have happened in the DPRK and China today. Husband and wife are a family, no matter how big or small, they can talk to their concubines. ”

The sacrificial family smiled and cast a kind of warmth, so that the sacrificial foot felt the love of the husband and wife for three years.

Yongjie said: "The king wants your father to go to the eastern suburbs to appease the inhabitants there, and orders me to prepare food, wine, and food there for entertainment at that time. I think it's time to catch your father's birthday, and I happen to be there to prepare a banquet for his old man's birthday in the suburbs, and nothing else. ”

"You're going to throw my father's birthday party in the suburbs?"

"This is the king's order, you don't have to ask."

Yongjie was afraid that the sacrificial clan would ask too many questions, so he said that he had leaked his mouth, so he interrupted the sacrificial clan's words.

The priest became more and more puzzled. I thought that it was still the king's order to hold a banquet, is there something wrong with this? The sacrificial clan thought that in the recent period, Yongjie kept revealing Zheng Ligong's dissatisfaction with his father's arrogance and domineering, and the calendar was remembered by the sacrificial clan. At this time, is it necessary to press the poison hand to make a birthday for his father in the eastern suburbs? Thinking of this, the priest stopped asking. Busy and his subordinates made some delicious meals and waited for Yongjie to have dinner, and deliberately persuaded Yongjie to drink a few more bottles at the dinner table, until Yongjie was drunk.

After Yongjie finished eating, his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them because of the strength of the wine. The priest packed up the futon and waited for Yongjie to lie down, and it didn't take long for Yongjie to snore loudly and fall asleep.

The priest was uncertain, always wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Yongjie's gourd, so he gently shook Yongjiao's body to calm his snoring.

While he was asleep, the priest asked: "The king ordered you to kill the sacrificial foot, don't you forget?" ”

Yongjie had already entered a dream and responded in a daze: "How dare you forget this!" ”

When the priest heard this, he was terrified. I wanted to test something else, but I saw Yongjie turn over, snoring like thunder, and fell asleep.

Yongjie woke up the next morning. Seeing that the priest was grooming in front of the dresser, he looked back at him as if nothing had happened. He said, "You are going to kill my father, and I know it." ”

Yongjie's eyes widened in surprise, but he immediately calmed down and replied, "How can such a thing happen! ”

"Drunk and spit the truth, you said it yourself last night." The priest pretended not to be surprised.

Yongjie was horrified. After thinking about it seriously, it seems that he was asked about this by the priest last night.

Yongjie thought about it, but calmed down. He said to the priests:

"What would you do if there was such a thing?"

"As the saying goes: marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog. Since I married you and became your inner friend, I will always be with you. What do you think you can do? Sai said without thinking.

After a night of tossing, the priest seemed to have been prepared for the question of Yongjiao, and said it very naturally.

Yongjie saw that the priest was honest, so he put his heart down.

Sai said, "You should be honest with me this time, right?" ”

Yongjie told all the things about the murder of the sacrificial foot with Zheng Ligong.

3.

Although the priest is a smart and clever woman, she can't stand the torture of her father's plots, and although this woman is calm on the surface, she can't control her inner anxiety. Asking her to choose between her father and her husband was not as easy as she said. After several inner struggles, she still wants to see her family and listen to her family's opinions by the way.

Early in the morning, the priest began to freshen up and find beautiful clothes.

Then he said to Yongjiao:

"I guess it's hard to say whether my father will go to the eastern suburbs or not."

"Why?" Yong asked.

The priest didn't look back, just brushed his black hair. It doesn't seem to be inadvertent.

"Do you think, can my father listen to him at will? My father should have been aware of Ji Tu a long time ago. You tell me? ”

The priest deliberately led the problem to a more complicated one.

Yongjie also began to worry about what to do if he didn't go.

Yongjie said: "Then what can you do? If this thing is done, the lord promised me that he could take his place, and then you will be Mrs. Shangqing. Since you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, you have to help me get things done, otherwise I will not be good, and you will also lose your husband."

Sai Shi felt that Yongjie had entered his train of thought, so he said: "When the time comes, I can go home a day earlier to do my father's work." I can strongly persuade my father to go to the eastern suburbs, and just say that as the secretary of Zheng Guo, if he wants to show his sympathy for the people, he should go to the eastern suburbs to comfort the people there, at least he can get the love and trust of the people. ”

Yongjiao's eyes lit up, and he felt that what his wife said was good. If someone says something to the sacrificial foot like this, the sacrificial foot will not let go of this opportunity to buy people's hearts. So the two discussed: let the sacrificial family go home, how to persuade the sacrificial foot to go to the eastern suburbs to inspect and comfort the people. And what details should be paid attention to when speaking, carefully consider them one by one.

Sure enough, the priest returned to his mother's house a day early.

In fact, on the surface, the sacrificial clan promised to kill the sacrificial feet with Yongjie with one heart and one mind, but his heart was turbulent and uncertain. Between her father and her husband, although she has her own choices, she still shows a woman's hesitation when it comes to the end. The sacrificial clan was in a panic and had no way to make a complete choice. Yes, on the one hand, he is his biological father, and on the other hand, he is his husband, which is more important, it is really difficult to grasp. But the first thing she thought of was the tragic scene of her father being poisoned, and she couldn't help but be emotional, no matter what, saving her father's life was still her first choice.

When he returned home, he saw his mother open his mouth and asked her a question.

"Which is closer, father or husband?"

The mother didn't know what her daughter was going to say. replied casually: "They are all relatives, how can they be divided into which is more important." ”

"Then let me ask you, which of the two is deeper?"

The mother thought for a moment and replied, "It stands to reason that the father is deeper than the husband. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The husband of an unmarried daughter is uncertain, but the father is one; A daughter who marries out can remarry, but it is impossible to have another child. Whether or not you can become a husband is a human choice, and whether you can become a father and daughter is God's arrangement. So the husband can't be compared to the father's kindness! ”

The mother's unintentional words were in the hands of the sacrificial clan. Wasn't the purpose of returning home to let my father escape? So he threw himself into his mother's arms, tears welling up in his eyes, and he couldn't help choking.

"Today, for the sake of the father, the child is going to lose her husband!"

The sacrificial clan quietly told his mother about Yongjiao's plot with the monarch to poison his father. The mother was taken aback and hurriedly relayed the conspiracy to the priest.

When he heard the news, although he remained silent, his eyes flashed with murderous aura. He seemed to calmly say to his family, "Don't talk about it, I'll take care of it randomly." ”

4.

On the day of the inspection, on the one hand, the sacrificial foot brought more than ten henchmen and masters, followed with hidden blades, and made strict arrangements in advance. Then he ordered the housekeeper to lead hundreds of people to ambush in the suburbs in advance to prevent accidents.

Arrange all the sacrifices and calmly come to the eastern suburbs.

Yongjie was waiting halfway early to greet this father-in-law. And brought the sacrificial foot to the wine table where the sumptuous dishes had already been arranged, and warmly entertained his father-in-law with a smile on his face.

The priest also said casually: "It's normal to be busy with the affairs of the country, how can you be so entertained with such a big show?" ”

"Today is my father-in-law's birthday, and I have worked so hard, it can be seen that my father-in-law is only working for the people of Zheng Guoli. The son-in-law wants to take advantage of the charming spring in the suburbs to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday with wine and food, which is unique. ”

The priest remained silent, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and said, "The virtuous son-in-law is really well-intentioned!" ”

Yongjie poured a large glass of wine, knelt at the feet of the sacrificial foot, raised his hands above his head, smiled all over his face, and said: "Long life father-in-law!" The son-in-law is polite, and respectfully respects his father-in-law with a bottle of wine. ”

The sacrificial feet pretended to be in each other's arms, and grabbed Yongjiao's left arm with his right hand; He took the bottle of wine with his left hand and splashed it on the ground, and saw the poisonous wine splashing on the ground, as if sparks were bursting out. There was a bubbling bubbling on the ground.

Saizu immediately raised his eyebrows, said sternly, and scolded loudly, "You bastard, you are so vicious, you want to kill me with poisonous wine, can Lao Tzu be killed by you and other rabble?" Someone will take it for me! ”

In fact, Yongjie also had a plan, and privately arranged a few henchmen to wait for the opportunity to instigate a move when the sacrifice was enough not to drink poisonous wine. Make sure to poison this old thief. Helplessly, the sacrifice had already been prepared, and before they entered the banquet table in the room, Yongjie's henchmen had been called out of the door one by one by several masters and taken down silently. At this moment, Yongjie was already single-handedly dealing with more than a dozen masters, and after a few fights, he was subdued by his subordinates, and his head was cut off to become a ghost.

Originally, in order to prevent trouble, Zheng Ligong sent a cadre of men and horses to ambush the suburbs to cooperate with Yongjiao. It's just that being sacrificed to the foot is also counted to this step. The men and horses sent by Zheng Ligong were killed by the sacrificial henchmen who had been ambushed there in advance as soon as they arrived in the suburbs.

Among the sergeants who went to the suburbs to ambush, a few of them escaped by luck, and hurriedly reported to Zheng Ligong about the sneak attack.

When Zheng Ligong heard the news, he was shocked, thinking that this cunning sacrificial foot was still a chess master, and Yongjie must have been killed. The widow's plan to poison the sacrificial foot has been leaked, and the sacrificial foot will definitely not tolerate me!

Thinking of this, Zheng Ligong didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly packed his bags and fled from Zheng Du in panic and went to Cai Guo. Cai Guo is Ji Tu's mother country, and he believes that he will find a place there.

Saizu knew that Zheng Ligong had fled, so he didn't chase him and let him live. Then he calmed down, repaired a book, and sent someone to Chen Guo to welcome Zheng Zhaogong to the throne. The sacrificial foot was full of pride at this time, because this experience can be said to have fulfilled the wish of the sacrificial foot and Ji Humiqi.

Ji Hu lived in Chen State at this time, Chen State was a small country, and he couldn't arrange any position for Ji Hu at all. Every day, he is wary of whether Zheng Guo will send a killer to assassinate him, whether he will send his ministers to oppose Chen Guo and betray him, etc. Ji Hu was very anxious and confused in Chen Guo. It was impossible to expect Chen to send heavy troops to reset himself. Only at this time did Ji Hu reflect on the significance of his marriage with Qi Guo.

Just when Ji Hu was suffering, the sacrificial foot sent someone to welcome Ji Hu back to the throne.

In the first year of King Zhuang of Zhou, that is, in 696 BC, Zheng Guo went through an accident and restored the status of Ji Hu. is still Zheng Zhaogong. However, at this time, Zheng Guo experienced the repayment of debts to the Song State and the attack and looting launched by the Song State, the treasury was exhausted, the national strength was exhausted, and the Zheng State lost the strength of the past.
