King Yue and Fan Li and Wen Chong were discussing who to send to Qi to stir up trouble, and overheard the doctor asking to see him. Fan Li said happily: "This time, there is a candidate for the secret envoy. ”

The king of Yue said, "Who will you send?" ”

Fan Li said: "Dr. Ji Ni is the right person. ”

Wen Chong said: "The minister also thinks that Ji Ni is appropriate. Ji Ni is loyal and talented, and is good at strategy and sharp words. Exactly the right person for this mission. ”

King Yue said, "Okay, call Dr. Ji Ni to come in and talk." ”

Ji Ni walked quickly, came to the front, and bowed down: "The minister Ji Ni saw the king, and saw the general and the lord of Xiangguo. ”

King Yue said, "Doctor, please, what does the doctor do to advise the widow?" ”

Ji Ni said: "The ministers have recently returned from the Qilu area and said that some major things have happened in Shandong recently. The minister felt that this information might be useful to the state, and did not dare to hide it privately, so he reported it to the king. ”

Fan Li was interested: "Doctor Ji Ni said, what happened to the land of Qilu?" ”

So, Ji Ni told the information that his retainers had discovered.

First, King Jing of Qi was in power and married Yan Ji, the princess of Yan Kingdom, as his wife. Yan Ji gave birth to a son and became the crown prince, but the child was short-lived, and he fell ill and died at a young age. Jing Gong also had six sons, but all of them were born to Concubine Bin. The oldest of them is Gongzi Yangsheng. The youngest is Childe. Gongzi's mother, Fu Ji, is just an ordinary palace maid in the palace, but she is very charming and deeply favored by Jing Gong. Gong Jing loves his mother and his son, so he especially likes Gongzi.

Jing Gong is happy to tease Gongzi Tu and often plays with Gongzi Tu. Once Qi Jinggong and Tu were playing together, Qi Jinggong, as the king of a country, actually put a rope in his mouth and let Tu lead him. Unexpectedly, his son accidentally fell and broke Qi Jinggong's teeth.

Fan Li recalled the later generations before the crossing, and the great writer Lu Xun had two poems: Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow. It is this story that is quoted.

Ji Ni continued to tell that Duke Jing reigned for fifty-seven years, and at this time he was already in his seventies, and he still refused to establish a prince, which meant that he wanted to wait until Gongzi Tu grew up and made him the prince.

Unexpectedly, before Gongzi grew up, Jing Gong occasionally contracted a cold and couldn't afford to get sick. Jing Gong knew that his limit had come and he would not live long, so he summoned the old ministers Guo Xia and Gao Zhang to the sickbed, and said: "The widow is not in good health, and he is getting worse and worse, and I am afraid that he will die soon." The love of the widow's life is the youngest son. After the death of the widow, please Litu as the king, and the two ministers will be the left and right ministers, and they will assist together. Don't take my life! "Tears rained down.

Guo Xia and Gao Zhang fell to their knees together, and said with tears in their eyes: "Please rest assured that the monarch will recover." If they really return to the first king, the two ministers will definitely live up to the king's order and set up the prince as the king. ”

Jing Gong raised his hand and greeted repeatedly: "Please, please!" ”

Doctor Chen Qi and Gongzi Yang had a very close relationship. When he heard the news, he immediately went to see Yang Sheng and said: "Gongzi, something big is going to happen in the court, Chen Qi heard the news, Jing Gong does not plan to set up Gongzi to succeed to the throne, but intends to pass on the throne to Gongzi Tu, and make Guoxia and Gao Zhang as assistants." The son is the longest, he should stand, if he doesn't stand now, he is afraid that the son will be double-hearted, and he will definitely harm the son. ”

Yang Sheng panicked and said, "Doctor, how will this be?" ”

Chen Qi said: "The only way is to escape. The minister has a relationship in the Lu country, and he has already arranged it for the son. Gongzi fled to Lu with his family to hide for a while, and slowly made plans. ”

Yang Sheng bowed deeply: "What the doctor said, all obey his orders, if he can make a comeback in the future, he will definitely repay the kindness of the adults." ”

That night, Yang Sheng took his son Ren and his retainer Kan Zhi quietly out of Ducheng and fled to Lu overnight.

A few days later, Duke Jing issued an edict to send several other princes into the palace, and Guoxia said: "By the order of the monarch, all the princes will move to Laiyi from today, and they will not return to the capital without the will of the monarch." ”

The sons returned to their respective homes, only to find that their mansions had been surrounded by troops. Not to mention inheriting the throne, it is impossible to live in the capital. In desperation, everyone led their families in tears and moved to the Laiyi fiefdom.

Within a few days, Jing Gong really braided his hair. An Ruzi was established as the new monarch, Guoxia was the left minister, and Gao Zhang was the right minister, and he was in charge of the government.

Doctor Chen Qi supports Xinjun on the surface and obeys Guoxia and Gao Zhang, but in private he holds a grudge. So he secretly connected among the courtiers and said: "I heard the definite news that Guoxia Gao Zhang and the others want to get rid of our old ministers and use the people of An Ruzi instead, and the lives of all of us will not be saved." ”

The words were conclusive, and everyone couldn't help but believe it, and all the courtiers were frightened, and they all went to Chen Qi and asked, "What should we do?" ”

Chen Qi teamed up with another doctor, Bao Mu, and said to everyone: "Instead of stretching our necks and letting others slaughter, it is better to strike first." Although we can't mobilize the national army, each of us has retainers and private armies, and these forces are also very well organized, and we suddenly surround the national and senior families, and they don't even have room to resist. ”

Everyone said yes, so it was done, so the ministers led their retainers and private armies to form a temporary army, and suddenly surrounded Guoxia and Gao Zhang's mansion.

Guoxia happened to be not at home, got the news, fled to Ju country, and everyone caught Gao Zhang. Chop the meat into puree with a knife.

So Bao Mu made the right phase, and Chen Qi made the left phase. In order to appease people's hearts, Liguoshu and Gao Wuping inherited the titles of the two families.

At this time, Qi Gong'an was only a few years old, and he didn't understand anything, and everything was arranged by his subordinates. Chen Qi wanted to establish Gongzi Yangsheng as the monarch, so he secretly sent someone to Lu to pick up Yangsheng's family.

Yang Sheng quietly left the Lu State and returned to the Qi State. Leave his family and retainers on the outskirts of the city, sneak into Ducheng by himself, and hide in Chen Qi's house.

Chen Qi said to the ministers: "I want to sacrifice to my ancestors today, please come to my house and share the remnants of the sacrifice." "The aftermath of the sacrifice is the food after the sacrifice, which means that everyone is invited to eat.

That's a good thing. Everyone gathered at Chen Qi's house. arranged for Bao Mu to eat and drink in a clean small courtyard, and sent a few beautiful women to serve him, while everyone else sat in the hall.

Chen Qi said: "Let's be quiet, I recently got a pair of treasure armor, please come and enjoy it together." Good no good? ”

They said, "Yes! Take a look! ”

Chen Qi slapped his face and said, "Come on, move up!" ”

I saw two big men carrying a big bag and putting it in the lobby. Chen Qi personally stepped forward to untie the pocket and pulled the pocket down, and everyone screamed in surprise. It turned out that a human head was sticking out of his pocket. When everyone saw it, it was Gongzi Yangsheng.

Chen Qi helped Yangsheng out, stood still facing the south, and said to the doctors: "Listen, everyone, it is a common practice since ancient times to set up the eldest son to inherit the throne. An Ruzi was the youngest of the princes, and it was illegal to inherit the throne, and he was too young to govern. Chen Qi was ordered by Xiangguo Bao Mu to change the eldest son Yangsheng to the king, and respectfully invited all the doctors to serve together. ”

Bao Mu rushed over when he heard the news, his eyes widened in surprise, and he shouted: "I didn't issue such an order, nor did I participate in the planning, you did it all yourself, why do you want to trap me in injustice?" Do you see that I'm drunk? ”

Chen Qi said: "Xiangguo, abolish the old monarch, establish a new monarch, this kind of thing exists in any country, just see if it is legitimate, why bother with whether it is involved in the plan?" ”

Bao Mu said: "Have you forgotten that the ancestor broke his teeth in order to be a son of a cow? It is the will of the first monarch to establish Gongzi Tu as the king, why did you go against it? ”

Chen Qi said: "Xiangguo, don't talk about those useless things, hurry up and meet the new monarch." A few people came up, forcibly pressed down Bao Mu, and made a big salute to Yang Sheng. As soon as the doctors saw that the matter was irreversible, they all paid homage to Yangsheng.

At this point, Yang Shengli is to mourn the Duke of Qi.

Chen Qi took Gongzi Tu outside the city and killed him. Poor a child of a few years old died like this. Chen Qi designed to kill Bao Mu again, and he monopolized the power of Qi by himself.

Hearing this, King Yue sighed and said, "It turns out that such a big thing has happened in the Qi country. ”

Fan Li laughed and said, "Good thing, our opportunity has come!" ”
