Chapter 235: Yan Pingzhong

[Ran^Text^Library] []"Tsk, Fan Ying, this old jackal, is really insidious and vicious, on the one hand, he wants to assist the Marquis of Jin to compete for hegemony with me, and on the other hand, he secretly communicates with me. I love to surf the Internet. LWXS520。 When the emperor was alive, he had a good relationship with him, and he also told me that I must learn more from Fan Bo, and today I know that what I said is true. ”

In the Chen Mansion in Linzi, Qi Qing Chen, who was nearly fifty years old, read the brochure, sneered, and put it aside.

The ancestor of the Chen clan was the son of Chen Guowan, who fled to Qi because of civil strife and served as the eldest doctor of Qi Huan, and this clan remained unknown for the next hundred years.

It wasn't until fifty years ago that the Chen clan quietly rose in the Cui and Qing rebellions, and after the development of Chen Wenzi, Chen Huanzi, Chen Wuzi, and the four heads of the three generations of Chen Qi, they finally squeezed into the ranks of the Qing family. Although his status is still inferior to that of the country and the second secretary of high school, he can only be tied with the Bao family, but now he seems to have mastered the politics of the Gaotang and Donglai of Qi State, with hundreds of cars and more than 10,000 soldiers.

When Chen Qi became the head of the family, Chen's special fish, salt, and timber benefits were widely supported by the method of lending the big bucket and collecting the small bucket, and the fierce warriors and tigers of the Qi country also rushed to take refuge.

He also said: "However, Fan Ying's person is good at using yang schemes, although Yu knows that he is taking advantage of us, but I am the initiator of this hegemony, and this matter is extremely beneficial to our future plans, so I have to do it." By the way, the master of the national Xia Valu triumphantly, and the king held a ceremony for him to drink in the temple, can you go to watch the ceremony? ”

Waiting next to him was a weak-crowned young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who was his son Chen Heng (Tian Chang).

Chen Heng and Zhao Wuxian were of the same age, and after hearing this, they lowered their heads and replied: "The kid went, the scene was extremely lively, the king, Gao Zhang, and Yan Zi all went to the temple in person to watch the three armies disarm and sacrifice prisoners, and they also gave up their lords and heroes for meritorious people." ”

Chen Qi said: "Yan Pingzhong is smart. Seeing my Chen's intention to encourage the monarch to fight for hegemony, this time he said something for Guoxia and let this son replace me as the commander of Valu, his meaning is self-evident. Fortunately, Yan Zi is dying, Guoxia has wisdom and no far-sightedness, and Gao Zhang is also a mediocre person. The king is a strange person, he will understand and be confused for a while, the virtuous ministers use a batch, and the traitors and villains raise a batch, and neither party is willing to throw it away. Otherwise. In this huge Qi country, where is my Chen family foothold? ”

He showed a sneer: "What's more, although Guoxia is the coach of Varu. But he had no prestige in the army. Those military officials are all elite soldiers trained by Sima Sui Tho, a member of my Chen clan, who has not received the favor of the Chen family's big bucket loan and small bucket debt collection? Besides, although Sima Sui Tho died, there was still a small branch of the Chen clan to open up the territory, and the rest of the two warriors, Gongsun Jie and Gu Yezi, had already pledged their allegiance to the Chen family. The more meritorious they do, the greater the great. The stronger the Chen clan is in the army! ”

Chen Heng hesitated for a moment and paced forward. said in Chen Qi's ear: "These three people seem to be getting more and more arrogant, and the day before yesterday was a courtesy." Yan Zi passed by and tended to go, but the third son didn't get up and return the salute! At that time, Gao Zhang was angry, but Yan Zi smiled. He also persuaded the king to say that the three soldiers in this battle made a great contribution to the ambush and defeated the Ji family and Yang Hu, so today on the platform of the palace road, a special trip was held for the three soldiers to hold a banquet, and Yan Zi also went to sit with him. ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?"

Chen Qi couldn't help frowning, feeling that this was not quite like Yan Ying's style, he was able to stand up to Cui Zhu's sword in the Cui Rebellion and openly worship the murdered Duke of Qi Zhuang; When he was able to envoy to the State of Chu, he could still face the arrogance and arrogance of the arrogant and perverse King Chu Ling, and he could still be neither humble nor arrogant, and he would not disgrace his mission.

Now, why do you bow your head to the three horsemen?

After a while, Chen Qi secretly said that something was wrong, slapped the case suddenly, and stood up.

"My son quickly enter the palace! Yan Zi's move is by no means good-willed, although he is old, but he doesn't need to use a sword to kill, just use that three-inch tongue! ”

……

The palace of Qi is located in the southwest corner of Linzi City, embedded in the big city in the form of a small city, and the internal buildings are tall, majestic, and richly decorated.

The land of Qi is rich, and the monarchs of the Qi Kingdom like the beautiful palace room, especially the construction of high platforms. In the time of Qi Huan Gong, there are Wutai, Huantai, Yantai, to Qi Hou Pestle (Qi Jinggong), and build "the platform of the road bed", three years without rest, and for the "battle of the long bed", two years without rest, and for "Zou Zhi Changtu".

"If it is not high, the palace is beautiful, and the group will not disperse."

This is the reason why the Marquis of Qi and his traitorous ministers Liang Qiuju and others built a large palace, in the words of later generations, is to use the large-scale infrastructure of the public office to stimulate the economic consumption and material flow of Linzi.

And Yan Ying, who has always advocated integrity, naturally scoffs at this.

At this moment, the high-crowned Qiu Qi Hou is climbing the platform of the road. This tall pavilion, there are hundreds of stairs, Qi Hou is also an old man over sixty years old, some time ago he traveled thousands of miles to preside over the alliance, back and forth travel fatigue, now he is so tired that he can't even climb up the pavilion.

So Qi Hou sat on the half-way steps to rest under the service of the temple people, turned his head to look at the high platform that had only climbed halfway, he was angry, and complained: "Why do craftsmen build such a high platform, tired and widowed!" ”

Yan Ying, who was short in stature and had white hair hanging down, was also panting, and he sat on the side of Qi Hou with the help of the erector with the help of the cane, rubbing his legs and feet.

Hearing Qi Hou complaining, Yan Ying smiled and said, "Isn't this the king's order?" The monarch hopes to save effort and not build such a high pavilion, why can the craftsman be blamed? In ancient times, the holy king built a palace, which could facilitate life and not pursue luxury, so he could save effort. By the time of the decline of the Xia Hou clan, Xia Wei betrayed virtue and made a beautiful jade room; During the decline of Yin Shang, Emperor Xin built a palace and a spiritual platform. Therefore, the craftsmen of Xia Wei Shang built the platform, and it was sinful to build it low, and there was a reward for building it tall. ”

"Now you are even more excessive, you are guilty of building low, and you will be blamed for building high, which is worse than being reckless! The people have exhausted their strength, and they are not exempt from sin, and I am afraid that if this continues, the country will perish, and the king will no longer be able to enjoy blood and food. ”

Although Yan Ying is a seventy-year-old man, his speech is as clever as when he was young, Qi Hou has nothing to say, so he smiled and said: "Good! It is the sin of the widow to know that it is useless to waste money and work for the people, and to complain about the craftsmen and the people. If it weren't for the master's teachings, how could the widow keep the society all these years. ”

He bowed twice to Yan Ying: "When today's matter is over, the widow will not take the stage again, and will not build the stage again!" ”

The "today's thing" that Qi Hou said was on this stage. In the battle of attacking Lu Xi, Tian Kaijiang, Gongsun Jie, and Gu Yezi, who had made great achievements, were invited to the banquet.

The day before yesterday, when he was "drinking" in the temple, Yan Ying walked in front of the three scholars to show respect, but the three scholars proudly ignored the short and elderly doctor and couldn't sit down.

Yan Ying was slightly angry in her heart, but what she was more worried about was that the power of these three people in the army was growing day by day.

Tian Kaijiang is a member of the Chen clan, Gongsun Jian is a member of the Qi family, and Gu Zhizi is a market horseman. What the three have in common. They have all received the favor of the Chen family and have been loyal to Chen Wuzi and Chen Qi for a long time. They only bought the accounts of the Chen family and the Qi marquis, and ignored Guo, Gao, Bao San, and Yan Ying as nothing.

Although Yan Ying was wary of the Chen clan and urged the Marquis of Qi to replace Chen Qi with the young Guoxia as the commander of Valu, the people under Guoxia were still biased towards the Chen clan. However, these three scholars have made great contributions, and if the power is great, Chen's behavior of weakening the office will become more and more unscrupulous.

"These three people must be eliminated!" He was also informed in the national summer. In the Varu process. These three people have always gone their own way and have not listened to the dispatch. Yan Ying made up her mind.

He knew that his life was short, and he only wanted it before he died. Able to delay Chen's conspiracy.

It is also ridiculous to say that Yan Zi and Chen Wenzi were confidants and friends back then, and they also strongly recommended Sima Sui Tho, a member of the Chen clan, to Qi Hou. Who would have thought that this meek and humble family would be in power when Chen Huan Zi Wuyu was in power. Finally revealed their hideous faces, they were greedy, insidious, and cunning, which made Yan Ying shudder.

Now, what he needs to do is to use his tongue to persuade Qi Hou to do it.

At this time, two old men, a gentleman and a minister, finally boarded the platform of the road.

Condescendingly, looking at the magnificent Linzi City in the distance, Qi Hou forgot to be tired when he arrived, and he also forgot his promise to Yan Ying. He sat down on the pu mat and sighed: "Beautiful palace, I will be old, I don't know who will take possession in the future?" ”

Qi Hou had no intention of saying it, however, Yan Zi's answer was heart-wrenching: "As the king said, the Chen family will be in charge of the government of Qi State?" ”

Qi Hou suddenly changed color: "Chen? They have always been respectful to the widows, and they have done their best to seek hegemony for the Qi country, what does the master mean by this! ”

Yan Ying said lightly: "The king pays a lot of taxes, and the people have three points of harvest, so they will take two of them." Although the Chen family has no great virtue, but there is a kindness to the people, they measure beans, districts, kettles, and bells, and the big bucket lends them, and the small buckets take them back, and they take them very well. In this way, the hearts of the people naturally turn to the Chen family, and their love is like their parents, and they return to it like flowing water. ”

"Poetry" said: Although there is no virtue and women, singing and dancing. Chen's charity was remembered by the people and they were willing to sing and dance for him. When the monarch is there, there may be nothing to do, once the mountain collapses, the monarch of the future generations will be a little lazy, and the Qi country surnamed Jiang will turn into the Qi country with the surname of the concubine! ”

When Qi Hou heard this, his heart suddenly became vigilant, and his face was cloudy. But after thinking about it for a while, he found that the Chen clan's power had spread all over the army and the people, and the branches were flourishing and could not be uprooted.

In fact, ten years ago, Guo and Gao Erqing were very jealous of Sima Sui Tho from the Chen family, and deliberately suppressed Chen Huanzi after his death, so that the general was angry and fell ill and died, and his disciple Sun Wu also fled to Wu State. However, after the Chen family was dormant, it was not damaged at all, but grew stronger and stronger.

So Qi Hou asked helplessly: "Master's words are good! But Chen's rhizome is already deep, what can I do about it? ”

Yan Ying was relieved to see that his advice had an effect, but he also knew Qi Hou's temperament, except for the obsession and tirelessness of fighting for hegemony, he was only enthusiastic about everything. At the beginning of the pro-government, he could humbly accept advice and improve national politics, but the older he gets, the more extravagant and absurd he becomes.

If you don't make persistent efforts today, I'm afraid that tomorrow you will be bewitched by the Chen family and those ministers, and you will be obsessed with the big dream of the overlord again!

So Yan Ying pointed to the three warriors who were walking like flying under the stage of the road and said: "Your Excellency, if you want to get rid of the Chen family, you must kill these three warriors first!" (To be continued.) (LWXS520。 COM))
