Chapter 304: Mo Ru Tree Man
Yanghu's so-called "tree people", that is, to promote or establish talents, Qi Xiang Guan Zhong once said: "A year's plan is as good as a tree valley; A ten-year plan is like a tree; A lifelong plan is as good as a tree. β
Although in Zhao Wuxian's view, Yang Hu is quite a bit of an explosive rich style, but he is still a bit far-sighted, and the reason why he can be in power within a few years is also because of the lifelong plan of this "tree man". For this, Yang Hu is very proud.
He held the wine lord and said to the moon: "Ji Ning, Gongjiji and Gongshan are not ruthless in the Ji family, but now because of me, they have become the Ji family's Sima, Gongzheng, and Fei Yizai respectively; Uncle and grandson are not favored by the uncle and grandson, and the uncle and grandson are not in the Lu office, and now they are also the uncle and grandson of the family and the doctor of Yuncheng! Kong Qiu was originally a poor man, empty of fame but not a leader, stained with my light to become the capital of the capital, the same is true of Shao Zhengmao, in addition to these people, my tree of talents all over the Lu country! β
The history of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period is to kiss and respect, especially in the Lu State, if a person wants to ascend to a high position, he must have a prominent surname, and even must be a prince. However, Yang Hu was born from a humble background, so under the dual reasons of inferiority and uneasiness, Yang Hu began to promote some undesirable or lowly scholars to assist him after controlling the national politics of Lu State.
Shirtless is also one of his goals.
Zhao Wuxian bowed slightly: "Those who are orange and pomelo are sweet when they eat it, and fragrant when they smell it, Yangzi is much stronger than Sanhuan of the corpse vegetarian meal." β
"Cadaver vegetarian meal?"
"That is, these three secretaries occupy empty positions and do not do things, like rats and stupid insects, and meat eaters despise."
Zhao Wuxian was indignant and exaggerated Sanhuan's perfunctory attitude towards him.
Yang Hu had not yet extended his influence to the Meng clan, so he could only listen to the news through the hands of Ji Sun and Uncle Sun. Naturally, he couldn't know the secret meeting in the Meng Mansion word for word, but Yang Hu's indignant expression when he left the Meng Mansion was clear.
"Well said!" Yang Hu rose happily from the table and boasted: "After Duke Zhao was expelled by the Ji clan, he occupied Yuncheng, and I assisted the Great Sikong to cut Yun, when Mengsun He Ji was only sixteen years old. The affairs of the army are completely dominated by me, and Meng Sun's son is famous for his position! After that, he attacked Qi and Zheng for the alliance many times, and three of them did not contribute a single force! β
He said excitedly, turned his head to Zhao Wuxian and said, "I heard that Zitai wants to work in Lu Guogong. With this return to the Jin Kingdom, I will naturally not be stingy to help you. β
Zhao Wuxian pretended to be happy: "If this can really be the case, I really have to thank Yangzi." β
Yang Hu's voice changed: "If you want to make a contribution to the Jin Kingdom, you are not good at attacking Qi, I have fought for the Jin Kingdom three times in the past few years." The Qi people hate me to the bone, and it coincides with Zitai's ambition. But Sanhuan is corrupt and cowardly, and it will inevitably be hindered from it, so I want to replace it! Is Zitai willing to help me? β
Zhao Wuxian groaned slightly, Yang Hu was showing his ambition directly in front of him.
Compared with Sanhuan's words going around and around, and the sour and rotten taste of poetry, books, and music, Yanghu is much more straightforward.
At this point, it is quite suitable for Zhao Wuxian's appetite.
He cautiously replied: "Although the three huans are unbearable, they are the princes of the Lu State after all, and they have been dedicated to Lu for a hundred years. Although the branches and leaves are falling, the roots are still deep, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to pull out...... What's more, Wuxian is just the slaughter of two towns, and it is two or three hundred miles away from Qufu, how should he help Yangzi? β
"Zitai just needs to tell me, willing or not?"
Zhao Wuxian gritted his teeth, knowing that it was time to stand in line, and after making up his mind, he rolled up his wide sleeves, exposed his left arm and said, "Wuxian swears here." As long as Yoko can help me reach a high position and make meritorious contributions, I am willing to work for Yoko. β
"Good!"
The two took Lu and pierced the arm on the spot, and made a bloody alliance.
Yang Hu got up. Looking at the silver moon's disk, he said: "It's August Weiyang, and when the rice harvest season comes in October, there may be great changes in the country of Lu." At that time, as long as Zitai says to the Zhongjun Zuo of the Jin State for me after the Qufu incident, Yang Hu will be grateful! β
Zhao Wuxian chuckled in his heart, Yang Hu meant that it would be October. Will he launch a coup d'Γ©tat against Sanhuan? Although Sanhuan is unbearable, it should not be underestimated when the trapped beast is still fighting, and I am afraid that the country of Lu will be in chaos for a while.
Troubled times are also the best stage for careerists.
But he has to hide now, and firmly limit the purpose of his exposure to "return to Jin", so that Yang Hu and Sanhuan can rest assured.
However, since he has become a henchman of the Yang Tiger on the surface, if Zhao Wuxian does not ask for something now, it will seem to be a fake.
So Zhao Wuxian smiled and said, "Then you're welcome......
He stared at Yang Hu and put forward his own conditions: "In order to facilitate the nearby defense of the Qi State, after the fact, Qin Yi and Gao Yu, I want to get one!" How? β
β¦β¦
Half a moment later, Yang Hu walked into the banquet specially set up for Zhao Wuxian with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face.
Night has come, and the candles on the bronze lampstand in the hall have all been lit, reflecting the hall. I saw that the hall of this banquet was extremely luxurious, and the hall was full of Ding, as long as you count it with a little care, you will find that it is actually the vessel of the prince!
In a word...... It is all kinds of encroachment, these bells and tripods are already the specifications of the monarch, following Ji Sun's "Eight Dances in the Court", the courtier Yang Hu has also blatantly exceeded the standard in rituals and ceremonies.
Yang Hu's henchmen Ji Ning, Gong Jiji, Uncle Sun Yu, and his younger brother Yang Yue stopped drinking and having fun, came to greet them, and bowed down two rows on both sides of the stairs.
"Brother, where is Zhao Wuxian?" Yang Yue was in his thirties, similar in appearance and body to Yang Hu, he turned his head to look behind Yang Hu, but found that there was no one.
"Ridiculous child, he even opened his mouth to ask me for a lead, and I was blown away!"
Facing all the guests, Yang Hu waved his sleeves angrily, and looked at Zhao Wuxian with a straight face. After hearing this, Ji Ning secretly stomped his feet, saying that Yang Hu had missed the opportunity to make friends with the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom, and many guests also looked at each other, and a few people had different eyes flashing in their eyes.
"Playing music, drinking, Hugh will be unhappy for this son!"
But after Yan Fang, Yang Hu gathered four cronies and told the truth.
"Zitai has made a blood alliance with me, and is willing to help us replace Sanhuan!"
His henchmen were overjoyed but suspicious.
"Why did my brother pretend to turn his face with Zhao Wuxian in front of the guests?" Yang Yue is not clear.
"Now Sanhuan is also courting Zitai, if Zitai openly befriends me, he will break the relationship with Sanhuan. On the contrary, if Zitai pretends to conflict with me, the Meng clan will do his best to befriend him, and some news that we can't find out will be able to pass on. And it can be used as a strange soldier in the West. β
"Clever strategy! We are so stupid that we can't see through it. The four of them flattered one after another.
"In this way, our move to replace Sanhuan can be supported by the military of the Jin State, Zitai promised. You just need to continue to help the Jin Kingdom conquer Qi afterwards! β
Yang Hu planned to replace the Ji family with Ji Liao, replace the Shusun family with Shusun Yu, and replace the Meng family with himself after removing Sanhuan. A brand new Sanqing will appear in the Lu Kingdom, that is, Shiqing Shilu headed by his Yang clan!
Even. Lu Hou's position, he can also get a glimpse!
In the ambitious Yang Hu's mind, Zhao Wuxian cooperated with him to achieve the goal of meritorious service, so although he still had reservations about Zhao Wuxian, he was not too suspicious.
So the newly appointed doctor Zhao Wuxian entered the Yanghu Mansion at night, but the news of returning from the banquet in anger spread far and wide, and spread all over Qufu in Lucheng the next day.
Zhao Wuxian did not come out of the door in the building, and people couldn't guess the truth for a while.
Yang Hu promised to let him choose between Qin Yi and Gao Yu afterwards, but Yun Cheng, whom Zhao Wuxian really coveted, did not directly propose it. Because Dr. Yuncheng's uncle Sun Zhi is also an important figure in the Yang Hu party, if the two sides choose. He couldn't guarantee who Yang Hu would favor.
When Sanhuan heard the news and sent Zifu He to inquire, Zhao Wuxian said proudly: "As a noble son, how can Yu be surrounded by a lowly retainer?" β
Zifu He was overjoyed when he heard this, and only thought that his persuasion and indoctrination along the way had an effect.
Zhao Wuxian said to Zifu He: "I heard that in the battle of Yangguan a year ago, Yanghu wanted Da Situ and Da Sikong to attack the Qi army at night and take the opportunity to get rid of them. β
Zifu He's smile was restricted, and his face was difficult. Now that the military power of Ji Sun and Uncle Sun has fallen into the hands of Yang Hu and his henchmen, only the strength of the Meng clan remains.
"Back then, Ji Wuzi was divided into four public offices, so Lu Hou almost no longer had the assistance of ministers. The three armies of the Lu State and the acres of land, the Ji family occupies two points. Meng's and uncles each have one point. In other words, now seventy percent of Lu Guo's troops are in the hands of Yang Hu and his henchmen, if he suddenly attacks, unless the countrymen help, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist......"
Zhao Wuxian said sincerely: "I am a soft-spoken person, and there are only two towns under my rule. And it is also a withered place that has just ended the war. But there are also some soldiers who are good at fighting, if the big Sikong needs, he is willing to serve at any time to capture the western Yuncheng for the big Sikong, and cut off the sun tiger! β
He also added a request that he didn't make at Yang Hu, that is, Yuncheng!
Zifu He Daxi hurriedly went back to report to the Meng family, and soon sent back the news: "But also! β
Hearing that Yang Hu invited Zhao Wuxian to the banquet yesterday, Sanhuan was a little flustered, but he didn't dare to stop him. Zhibo's performance in the tile alliance made them think that the Jin Kingdom was really Zhao Ying's words were more effective now, and if even the alliance leader was unwilling to help Sanhuan, then they would have less to rely on for survival.
Therefore, although they were initially suspicious of Zhao Wuxian's entry into Lu and were only willing to give some craftsmen, at this time they were hungry, and not only added another hundred craftsmen to the promise, but also agreed to Zhao Wuxian's request to plot Yuncheng!
Now Yang Hu and Sanhuan both think that Zhao Wuxian is willing to serve their side, of course, both sides only regard him as an insignificant idle chess in the corner, and the real competition and fight still have to be carried out in Lucheng Qufu!
Meng Shi and Yang Hu all held their strength and began to prepare for the upcoming turn of October.
Zhao Wuxian, however, unhurriedly fulfilled the purpose of entering Lu City after laying one fog bomb after another: to meet Lu Hou.
On the third day, Zhao Wuxian met Liu Xiaji, the chief master of ceremonies of the pedestrian department, and entered the Lu Palace under his guidance. (To be continued.) )
