The envoy of the Lu State did not get Chen Heng's good color. Not only was he unable to urge Qi to fulfill the agreement and send 20,000 loads of grain to Lu State, but he was also ridiculed by Chen Heng, and he also threatened war.

It is certain that Qi will tear up the agreement. If it is really as Chen Heng said, it is necessary to recalculate the old accounts of the war from the beginning, it means a new war. That's a big deal.

A few years ago, the head of the border city of Lu State, Yu Fu, intercepted the envoys of the Yue State to the State of Yi and embezzled the gifts given by the State of Yue to the State of Yi. The gentleman of the state of Yi sent troops to attack the border town, and even killed the leader of the garrison, Yufu.

Coincidentally, the reckless husband turned out to be the brother-in-law of Ji Sunsi, the secretary of Lu State, and Ji Sunsi was afraid of internal problems, and his wife felt sorry for his younger brother, so he sent troops to attack the State of Lu, and finally arrested the monarch of the State of Lu.

What's more coincidental is that the monarch of the state of Qi turned out to be the brother-in-law of the monarch of the state of Qi, so Qilu sent troops to attack Lu, and the state of Lu was in a hurry and hurriedly asked for help from the state of Wu. King Wu was hegemonic and united with Lu and several other small states to form an alliance to attack Qi.

As a result, Qi was defeated and had to negotiate for peace. In this battle, the Qi State suffered heavy losses, and speaking of which, it was all caused by the Lu State hooking the Wu army. Therefore, the most hated by the Qi State is the Lu State. Now Chen Heng has issued a threat of war, which is another major crisis for the Lu State.

The envoy of Lu knew that he and Chen Heng could no longer talk about any results, so it was important to rush back to Lu to report the news. So he left Linzi overnight and rushed back to Lu to report the news. Not to mention.

Moreover, Chen Heng replied to the envoy of Yue with a very tough attitude, left the post house, and went directly to the palace to meet the Marquis of Qi.

Qi Hou said: "My lord, how about negotiating with the envoy of Lu State?" ”

Chen Heng said: "The envoy of the Nalu State is so rude. uttered wild words and insulted Qi for not keeping his promises. "In order to send troops to fight Lu, Chen Heng is adding oil and vinegar, intending to provoke the anger of Qi Hou.

Qi Hou was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "The people of Lu are too much. ”

Chen Heng said: "The envoy said that the Qi State was ordered to pay grain, and if it was delayed, it would be necessary to meet each other. ”

Qi Hou trembled with anger and said, "Did he really say that? ”

Chen Heng said: "That's what I said. I'm not polite, I said that if Lu dares to use troops, I will destroy Lu Guo! ”

Qi Hou said: "Well said, the country of Lu dared to act recklessly, and the widow personally led the army to destroy the state of Lu. ”

Chen Heng said: "A small Lu country actually bullied us like this. If it weren't for diplomatic etiquette, I would have killed that arrogant thief with one sword. ”

Qi Hou's face changed. Striding around in the study: "What a reason! ”

Chen Heng said: "Your Majesty, whenever the minister thinks of the battle of the border, his heart is panicked, if it wasn't for the Lu State to hook the Wu State army, why would our Qi State suffer such a big loss." Whenever the ministers of the DPRK and China talk about this matter, they are filled with righteous indignation. Our Qi country has a 600-year history since the Taigong country, and we still have to be humiliated by the small Lu country. ”

Qi Hou said: "If you don't take revenge, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in your heart." ”

Chen Heng saw that the fire had arrived, so he knelt in front of the Marquis of Qi, burst into tears, and said: "Your Majesty, the State of Qi has been humiliated by the State of Lu for a long time, and the ministers know that the government and the opposition are holding their breath and want to avenge this deep hatred. Please pass down the king's decree and fight against Lu on this move to avenge the revenge of Wu and Qi! ”

Qi Hou was a little sober at this time, pulled up Chen Heng, and said, "Xiangguo get up and speak." Starting a war is a big deal, and you can't be careless. Now that we are raising our troops, what are our chances of winning? ”

Chen Heng said: "Your Majesty, our Qi country, the land is twice the size of the Lu country, the population is twice that of the Lu country, we are here is a large plain with a flat river, the Lu country is a mountain and hilly, our products are several times as much as theirs, and our Qi country is on the verge of the sea, and we have the benefit of fishing and salt. Taking down a small Lu country is just like probing for something. ”

Qi Hou said happily: "Good! The widow depends on the will of the country. Send troops to attack Lu and let out this evil breath. ”

Chen Heng shouted: "Someone! ”

Immediately, an attendant came in: "Your Majesty, Xiangye, please command." ”

Chen Heng said: "After the notice, all the courtiers in Beijing hurried to the court to discuss matters. No one is allowed to ask for leave, no one is allowed to be absent! ”

"Yes!" The chamberlain ran out and notified the forbidden army, and the forbidden army sent people to send separate notices. After a while, a minister hurried in. Ask each other, "What's wrong?" ”

He replied, "I don't know?" ”

"Don't guess, we'll find out later."

Soon, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the main hall, and suddenly a master of ceremonies shouted: "The prince has arrived!" ”

Everyone stopped talking and bowed their heads and stood solemnly. Qi Hou entered the main hall accompanied by Chen Heng. The master of ceremonies shouted, "Pye-"

Everyone worshipped: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Qi Hou said: "Everyone, my lords, are flat. Today, I urgently convene you. There is an urgent state affair to consult. Lord Sangkoku, let's tell us about the situation. ”

Chen Heng came out of class, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, at the behest of the prince and the marquis, I urgently summoned everyone, just because someone openly came to our Qi country to insult us. ”

Once the foreign enemy comes to attack, the whole country immediately unites as one and unanimously externally. As soon as they heard that someone had insulted the door, everyone immediately became angry.

Someone shouted, "Who is so bold that we destroyed him?" ”

Chen Heng said in a deep voice: "A few years ago, the Lu State colluded with the Wu State to attack me, causing heavy losses to our Qi State. He also forced us to sign unequal treaties and humiliated our country. Have you forgotten this shame? ”

Someone shouted: "We have not forgotten such a deep hatred for a single day." ”

"We haven't forgotten!"

Chen Heng said: "At the beginning, we were forced to promise to pay 20,000 quintals of grain to Lu every year. This is clearly an insult to our Qi country, our Qi country has a lot of land and resources, and there are hundreds of thousands of strong men, why should we pay tribute to Lu country? We have deliberately delayed this year and have not delivered food so far. ”

Qi Hou said: "I will interject that the widow now declares that from today onwards, all unequal treaties signed with Wu and Lu will be abolished. ”

Everyone cheered: "Long live the prince!" This is long overdue. ”

Qi Hou said: "Xiangguo, you continue. ”

Chen Heng said: "Lu Guo saw that we had not sent the food over for a long time, and today the envoy of Lu Guo arrived, and when the minister went to talk, he found that this person was arrogant and rude. They keep accusing us of not keeping our promises and threatening us with war. said that if our horses do not fulfill the treaty, they will send troops to destroy the Qi country. It's so deceitful. ”

Shangqing Guoshu shouted: "It's really infuriating." Your Majesty, how can our Qi country be bullied by the little Lu country. The minister asked for an immediate army to attack the Lu State. ”

The ministers all expressed their stance and demanded that troops be raised to fight against Ru.

Chen Heng said: "Your Majesty is in the same mood as everyone. It was decided to mobilize the country's troops to defeat the Lu country. What are the different opinions? Please tell the prince. ”

Everyone unanimously expressed their willingness to follow the will of the prince.

Qi Hou said: "Okay, since there is no disagreement, the widow announced, raise an army to attack Lu, and all the ministers listen to the order!" ”
