Chapter 298: Qi Civil Strife

Yang Zilu didn't say anything about this, but looked at Wu Ming.

Wu Ming found that he seemed to be a little self-defeating, so he didn't dare to say anything else, so he said, "The monarch should know about the contradiction between Bao Zi (Bao Mu) and Duke Qi, right?" ”

Yang Zilu nodded, when Qi Mourning Gong sent troops to Lu for Ji Ji, Lu also sent someone to ask for help, and Fucha also agreed in order to dominate the Central Plains. This was also the first confrontation between the states of Qi and Wu, and the second was the Battle of Ailing.

At that time, the commander of the Qi army was Bao Mu, although Bao Mu was defeated by the Wu-Lu coalition army, but it was only a small defeat, and saved the two cities that occupied the Lu country, and the two sides were also deadlocked, the Qi army could not defeat the Wu-Lu coalition army, and the Wu-Lu coalition army could not capture the two cities occupied by the Qi army. Under such circumstances, Ji Kangzi sent an envoy to Qi and chose to quell the war through diplomatic means. And speaking of which, this strategy was proposed by Zigong.

After some negotiations, Ji Kangzi sent Ji Ji to the Qi State, and Qi Mourning Gong was also occupied because of this. And because of Ji Ji, the Duke of Qi Mourning generously returned the cities occupied from Lu to Lu.

And Bao Mu, the commander of the Qi army at that time, was dissatisfied with this, thinking that the two cities that the soldiers exchanged for their blood and lives should not be sent out because of this. In addition, after Bao Mu won, he was a little arrogant and arrogant, and his words were a little abnormal, which eventually led to the outbreak of contradictions between the monarch and the minister.

After the class teacher returned to the court, Qi Mourning Gong did not reward Bao Mu, and Bao Mu was not to be outdone, roaring Qi Mourning Gong in the court. Because of this, the Duke of Qi mourned and cut 300 feudal towns of Bao Mu. Since then, the relationship between Qi Mourning Gong and Bao Mu has been unprecedentedly tense, of course, because Tian Qi, an old fox, is fueling the trouble.

Wu Ming continued: "In October of this year, Duke Qi led hundreds of officials to sacrifice to their ancestors and gods, and after the sacrifice to the ancestors and gods was completed, they would give the doctors the meat. But all doctors have it, but Bao Zi doesn't. Bao Zi was naturally furious, and because he had died of illness as a minister, Bao Zi monopolized power......"

When Yang Zilu heard this, he interrupted Wu Ming's words and said, "You said Tian Qi is dead? When did it happen? ”

Yang Zilu couldn't help but feel that the platform was still too weak, although it was said that because of the focus on Chu and Wu, he still couldn't hide his shortcomings, and he didn't even send such important news back in time.

Wu Ming didn't know that Yang Zilu was worried about the affairs of the stage, he thought for a while, and told all the news he knew. "Yes! Your Majesty! In fact, the left minister Kunita beggar has been unable to serve since May, and in June, he still couldn't stay up and died of illness at home. According to Tian Qi's explanation, the position of the suzerain of the Tian family was inherited by his son Tian Chang, Tian Chang only served as a doctor because of his qualifications, and Bao Zi became the only minister of Qi. ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he gasped and said, "Tian Qi is a good means!" ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and some didn't understand Yang Zilu's words.

Yang Zilu looked at Wu Ming and explained: "Ziyao (Wu Mingzi), think about it, with the power of the Tian family, can't Tian Chang become the right minister?" ”

Wu Ming frowned and thought about it, and muttered: "Jun Yiyi said, it seems that this is the case, it seems that the Tian clan did not ask Tian Chang to be the right minister at the beginning. On the contrary, it was the Bao family who was strong and opposed, and Tian Chang was not able to become the right minister, but was canonized by the Duke of Qi as Gongzheng (Shangdafu)! ”

Yang Zilu nodded and said, "That's right, it's impossible for this old fox Tian Qi to do nothing when he is dying." Bao Mu's control of the prime minister is probably the pit he dug, and everyone in Qi knows the contradiction between Qi Gong and Bao Mu. Bao Mu's monopoly on power will naturally cause Qi Gong to be even more dissatisfied, and this refusal to give Bao Mu meat is probably a signal to other doctors, that is, in his heart, Bao Mu is not even a doctor. ”

When Yang Zilu said this, he took a sip of sweet wine from his wine bottle, moistened his throat, and then continued: "And what Bao Mu wants to do is either back down or fight back." There is no doubt that with Bao Mu's surname, he must choose the latter. ”

Wu Ming smacked his tongue and said, "How did the king know?" ”

Yang Zilu smiled confidently and said: "This is very simple, if Bao Mu's surname will back down, he will not roar at Duke Qi in the court." And now Bao Mu thinks that Tian Qi, who can balance him, is dead, and he is the biggest in Qi State. In particular, Tian Chang's seemingly weak concession made him even more arrogant, thinking that he was already the first powerful minister of Qi State. Will he be willing to let go of the power in his hands? ”

Wu Ming complimented: "The wisdom of the king is really unpredictable, everything has been said by the king." At that time, at the sacrifice, he was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away. The doctors didn't care too much, after all, Bao Zi had done the same thing in the court, and they were worried about how to alleviate the contradictions between the monarch and the minister. But unexpectedly, on the way back to Linzi, Bao Zi led the private soldiers of the clan to kill him and killed the Duke of Qi. ”

"What about Tian Chang? He won't do anything! Yang Zilu asked calmly.

Wu Ming responded: "Tian Chang left alone as soon as the sacrifice ended. When the doctors fled back to Linzi, they had already discovered that Tian Chang had already set up the son of Duke Qi and Gongzi Ren as the monarch. and led the army to attack Bao Zi, Bao Zi didn't expect that Tian Chang would set up a monarch, and he didn't expect Tian Chang to react so quickly, as if he was ready. ”

"It's not as if, it's really prepared in advance!" Yang Zilu sneered.

Wu Ming nodded sympathetically, and then said: "Bao Zi was naturally unprepared, and was attacked and killed by the warriors under Tian Chang. Tian Chang asked Bao Mu's son Bao Xi to inherit Uncle Bao's worship. And Tian Chang, in order to prevent other countries from taking the opportunity to attack Qi State, blocked the checkpoints in various places. I also had a hard time getting out! ”

Yang Zilu thought for a while, and asked, "Ziyao, there is no problem for the widow to promise your Wu family to move to my Wu country. But the question is, is Tian Chang willing? ”

You must know that although Wu Zixu only has two sons, the Wu family is not just such a small person. The Wu clan still has all the doormen, the clansmen. Especially the doorman, Wu Zixu treats the doorman like a soldier, although he is strict, but he can also be called a soldier like a son. So after Wu Zixu died, Wu Zixu's doorman, the best of ten, also took refuge in Wu Ming and Wu Liang.

Coupled with those clansmen, there are more than 300 people in the Wu family, and there are also Bao Mu who invited Qi Mourning Gong and let Qi Mourning Gong give Wu's fiefdom, the number is not much, but there are also 300 households, more than 1,700 people. In total, more than 2,000 people want to secretly move to the Han Kingdom, even in normal times, it is simply impossible, not to mention that the passes in the Qi Kingdom are now under strict guard. Therefore, if the Wu clan wants to migrate to the Han Kingdom, Tian Chang must need a nod.

Wu Ming said calmly: "This is okay, as long as the king sends someone to envoy to the Qi country!" Now there is a rumor circulating in the capital of Qi that Qi is preparing to change his surname to Tian. Although it is said to be a rumor, it is the so-called no wind and no waves, and the Tian family borrowed grain in Dadou in Qi State, and Xiaodou returned it. It is exactly the same as the means of Bai Gongsheng of Chu State to win the hearts of the people, and it is probably impossible to say that the Tian family has no dissent! In this way, Tian Chang naturally needs external support, at least some big countries need to support him Tian Clan to replace Qi Guo Lu Clan. ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand at Wu Ming and said, "There is no problem with this, Ziyao If there is nothing else, you can go down!" ”

"No!" Wu Ming knew that Yang Zilu had some things to avoid him and come to discuss, but knowing that he knew, Wu Ming still chose to retreat very interestingly. Wu Ming saluted Yang Zilu, and then retreated.

When Wu Ming left, Yang Zilu instructed Jiao Shuyan, who was on duty outside: "Immediately send someone to summon the left and right Xiangguo, the big Sima, the left and right Sima, the Si Jin doctor, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to see the widow!" ”

"No!" Jiao Shuyan heard that Yang Zilu called all the powerful ministers of the Han Kingdom, and he didn't dare to delay. Immediately go down and send someone, holding a warrant to summon the doctor Yang Zilu said.

probably knew that Yang Zilu had an urgent matter to come to them, and it took about an hour for the left Xiangguo Kan Pingtian, the right Xiangguo Wenzhong, the Great Sima Yuxuan, the left Sima Yuyong, the right Sima Houxiong, the Sijin Dafu Zigong, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zheji and others to gather in the Daming Palace's political hall in about an hour.

Yang Zilu didn't talk nonsense, and told all the things about the civil strife in Qi, and after that, Yang Zilu said: "You see, should the widow deepen the relationship with Tian Chang!" ”

"No! The Tian clan is a wolf and a tiger, and the Lord and them have something, isn't it seeking skin with the tiger? As soon as Yang Zilu's words fell, Kan Pingtian excitedly stopped.

When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly thought of Kan Pingtian's name, Pingtian, Pingtian, as if it meant Pingding Tian's family. In addition, Kan Pingtian is a native of Qi, which is the ...... Yang Zilu couldn't help but glance at Kan Pingtian deeply when he thought of this, and Kan Pingtian seemed to be a little weak and immediately nodded.

However, although Kan Pingtian objected, Zigong agreed, and said to Yang Zilu: "Lord, the ministers have different opinions about Xiangguo's words. Now the state of Qi is a situation where the ministers are strong and the kings are weak, and if we establish a good relationship with the Tian family. The Tian family will definitely be full of hope that they can replace the Lu family. But the Qi State has been inherited for more than 560 years since Taigongwang! How could the Tian clan, which had just risen for five years, be easily replaced? ”

When the other doctors heard this, they all showed expressions of agreement.

When Kan Pingtian heard this, he immediately refuted: "It is precisely because of the Lu family's inheritance of more than 560 years that the foundation is consolidated!" The Lord should unite the office, not the Tian family! Otherwise, he said, the Qi State Office exterminated the Tian family, wouldn't the Lord have offended the Qi State, and he would have made enemies with the Chu State, which is a big deal! ”

Zigong did not immediately refute, but looked at Kan Pingtian, in fact, not only Zigong, almost all the doctors in the council hall looked at Kan Pingtian in puzzlement, the atmosphere was extremely strange for a while, and after a long time, no one spoke. They don't know what's going on today, and Kan Pingtian, who is wise and calm, is saying such an idiotic opinion today.
