Chapter 253: The Hidden Danger of Qi State
As soon as Ji Kangzi saw Ran You's reminder, he reacted, showed an apologetic smile to Zigong, and said, "I was abrupt just now!" β
Zigong smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, although I can't make an envoy, I can still find a way." β
When Ji Kangzi heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Oh! I don't know what clever plan Zigong came up with? Come on! β
Zigong shook his head and said, "This battle is actually caused by Ji Ji!" I believe that as long as the ruling sends Ji Ji to the Qi State, this war can be quelled! β
Speaking of which, maybe many people are confused, didn't Tian Qi start this war in order to weaken the strength of the other four clans? Although the purpose is not only that, after all, it is impossible for Tian Qi to cover the sky with one hand, saying that if he attacks a certain country, he will attack a certain country.
In fact, the cause of this war was Ji Ji herself. Who does this Ji Ji need? She is the younger sister of Ji Kangzi and the wife of the current Duke of Qi Mourning. This matter has to be said when Qi Mourning Gongyangsheng has not yet made a career.
Although the original Qi Mourning Gongyangsheng was the son of Qi Jinggong, he was still sent to Lu as a proton in accordance with the practice at that time. After arriving in Lu State, Yangsheng met Ji Ji who was traveling by chance, and when he saw Ji Ji's appearance, Yangsheng was immediately shocked by Ji Ji and pursued it vigorously. So a free love broke out in ancient times, and Ji Kangzi also pushed the boat after knowing about it and married Ji Ji to Yangsheng.
After a while, Qi Jinggong died, and a coup d'Γ©tat occurred in Qi State, Tian Qi secretly took Yangsheng back to Qi State, and later used a plan to support Yangsheng. After the turmoil of the early ascension to the throne, Yang Sheng was full of joy and wanted to take Ji Ji back to be the wife of the monarch of Qi State.
But Ji Ji didn't know if it was Yang Hua, or if she was unwilling to be lonely. Yangsheng has been away for a long time, and he was seduced by his uncle Ji Yihou, and the two of them were actually messy. Lun too. When Yangsheng, that is, the current monarch of Qi State, Qi Mourning Gong, sent someone to pick up Ji Kangzi, Ji Ji was afraid, afraid that this matter would be known by Qi Mourning Gong, so what should I do?
Hesitating, she told her brother Ji Kangzi about it, and Ji Kangzi was also afraid, Qi was a big country, and Lu was just a small and medium-sized vassal state. Ji Kangzisuo ordered not to send Ji Ji back. After a long time, Qi Mourning Gong couldn't help but wonder, I asked your sister to come to Qi to be the monarch's wife! With the monarch of Qi as your Ji Kangzi's brother-in-law, how much straighter is your Ji family's waist! Qi Miangong couldn't help but wonder if something had happened.
So Qi Mourning Gong sent someone to urge Ji Kangzi on the one hand, and sent someone to investigate the cause on the other hand. I don't know if Ji Yihou and Ji Ji are stupid, or if the IQ of men and women in love is equal to zero. Ji Yihou entered Ji Ji's courtyard openly, and went in and out of pairs with Ji Ji. This matter may not be known to the general people, but it is only thought that ordinary uncles and nieces are walking together, but it has long been spread among the nobility, and this matter has long been an open secret.
As soon as the people sent by the Duke of Qi mourned investigated, they immediately knew about it. The man hurriedly told Qi Mourning Gong about this, and Qi Mourning Gong was immediately ashamed and annoyed when he was wearing such a big green hat, and his heart was as painful as if he had been inserted with a dagger.
Qi Mourning Gong immediately sent someone to summon Tian Qi to cry and complain to Tian Qi. Tian Qi immediately pushed the boat down the river, and asked the four clans of Guo, Yan, Gao, and Bao to send troops to Qi State. However, in the name of this troop, Tian Qi naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say that you gave my monarch a green hat or something. It's as if the State of Chu gave Duke Qi Huan a green hat at the beginning, and Duke Qi Huan is not the same, and he is not the same openly and honestly saying that he respects the king.
The reason why Qi sent troops was that Lu detained the wife of the monarch of Qi for no reason. However, everyone knows what the purpose of Qi Guo's dispatch of troops this time is, and Ji Kangzi doesn't think that sending Ji Ji to Qi can solve this matter, Qi Guo can completely cheat, this fake monarch's wife, what can you do? So when Ji Kangzi heard this, he didn't show a look of surprise, but smiled bitterly at Zigong: "Sending Ji Ji over, can you solve the problem?" β
Zigong didn't think about it, and said calmly: "Why can't you?" If the stalemate continues now, it will not benefit anyone, but will consume a lot of grain and money in vain. Could it be that it was just the state of Lu and the state of Wu who wanted to end the war? No! I think Qi also wants to end this war, and besides, Bao Mu has already seen that this war is not so simple. Therefore, his command in the first few days of the war was so cautious, and he was unwilling to go head-to-head with Lu and Wu. All you need now is a decent step, and Ji Ji is undoubtedly this decent step! β
When Ji Kangzi heard this, he suddenly realized and sighed: "Zigong is really wise, I can still see such a simple road!" β
Zigong said with a smile: "The ruling is just a fan of the authorities!" β
Ji Kangzi smiled, and then seemed to think of something, Ji Kangzi hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed as if he had made up his mind, and said to Zigong: "Zigong, I should have said this here, I should also say goodbye and stop bothering you, but ...... But ......"
Zigong's face showed a little doubt, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The ruling was very good to Zigong at the beginning, if there are any difficulties in the governance, you might as well say it, but Zigong doesn't dare to guarantee that the ruling will be able to get a satisfactory answer!" β
Ji Kangzi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my unscrupulous sister Ji Ji yet!" Sent to Yangsheng, whether she can survive or not is two words, even if she survives, she is afraid that it will be difficult. Although she is a little self-inflicted, she is my sister after all, and I really can't bear to see her like this! β
When Ran You heard this, a touch of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he pulled Ji Kangzi's sleeve, but Ji Kangzi didn't pay attention to Ran You, but finished speaking directly. Ran You's actions, why doesn't Ji Kangzi know! But Ji Kangzi and Ji Ji have a very good relationship, otherwise Ji Kangzi would not have married Ji Ji to Yangsheng at the beginning.
It must be known that although Yangsheng was from a noble background at that time, he was just a proton of the Lu State and had no rights. Even if he returns to Qi State, he is also a rich man. If Ji Ji is married to other powerful ministers, it will be of even greater benefit to the Ji family. But Ji Kangzi still married Ji Ji to Yangsheng without hesitation, which shows the relationship between the two.
When Zigong heard this, he glanced at Ran You, and said after a moment of silence: "When Ji Ji married Qi Jun, Qi Jun was just a proton, which shows the relationship between the two. As long as Ji Ji sees Qi Jun, he will put the responsibility on Ji Yihou, and then beg for mercy with his past feelings, and pay attention to the inspection points in his future life, he will definitely be able to redeem his position in Qi Jun's mind. β
When Ji Kangzi heard this, he was overjoyed, nodded to Zigong and said, "Good! Zigong really sees things thoroughly! This time, it's really thanks to Zigong's advice! β
Zigong smiled reservedly.
Ji Kangzi hesitated for a while, and said vaguely: "Zigong is willing to settle in Lu State?" β
Zigong still smiled and shook his head, Ji Kangzi couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he couldn't recruit Zigong, and he was also a little jealous of Yang Zilu. Ji Kangzi is also a relatively free and easy person, seeing that there is nothing to do, he did not continue to repeat this topic, but said goodbye to Zigong.
Zigong Li's surname was retained, and he sent Ji Kangzi and them away. When he arrived at the door, when Ran You walked past him, Zigong grabbed Ran You's robe, and Ran You turned his head to look at Zigong suspiciously.
Zigong lowered his voice and said: "Although the teacher blames you, in fact, he still misses you very much, so let's go and see the teacher when I have time!" The teacher is in his sixties and five years old this year. β
When Ran You heard this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help revealing a little tears, Ran You opened his mouth, and finally a thousand words turned into a responsible sigh, Ran You nodded to Zigong as a thank you, and left behind Ji Kangzi.
Let's say that Ji Kangzi, after leaving, according to Zigong's idea, sent Ran You to take Ji Ji to Qi State. Qi Mourning Gong was furious when he saw Ji Ji, but Ji Ji followed what his brother Ji Kangzi learned from Zigong. Qi Mourning Gong knows his affection, Qi Mourning Gong is also an indecisive and soft-eared person.
But then again, if the Duke of Qi Mourning was a wise and martial person, maybe Tian Qi would not have chosen to support him as the monarch of the Qi State. After Ji Ji cried bitterly, the anger in Qi Mourning's heart was immediately completely extinguished, and Qi Mourning immediately turned into a gentle husband and comforted Ji Ji. In order to curry favor with Ji Ji, Duke Qi also promised to return the two cities that occupied Lu this time in front of Ran You. Ran You naturally expressed his heartfelt thanks.
But when the order of Qi Mourning Gong was transmitted to Bao Mu, it made Bao Mu angry, I worked hard to capture the two cities, is it easy? It's all in blood, but now you're trying to please a woman, and you're giving you that woman, a mess with your own uncle. And the woman of Lun sent out two cities? Is it worth it?
In front of the generals, Bao Mu roared angrily at the envoy sent by Qi Mourning Gong: "I really regret the words at the banquet in Tianfu!" β
(The implicit meaning of Bao Mu's words is that I really regret supporting you in Tianfu in the first place.) After speaking, Bao Mu added: "There are many sons of the ancestors, why do you have a ...... Yang?"
Although Bao Mu was angry, his doorman did not lose his mind, and immediately pulled Bao Mu back, which made Bao Mu not finish his words. However, all the people present were smart people, and they all estimated what Bao Mu's words meant. It's not that Qi Jinggong has a lot of sons, and it's a big deal for me to appoint someone else as the king.
The envoy was so shocked that he didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately returned to Linzi and told Qi Mourning Gong about it. When Qi Mourning Gong heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and asked people to summon Tian to beg. Tian Qi had known about this for a long time, but he still pretended not to know anything and listened to Qi Mourning Gong say this. At this time, Tian Qi immediately pretended to have an angry expression and was furious with Bao Mu.
Then Tian Qi pretended to sigh to Qi Mourning Gong and said: "The Bao family has had Bao Shuya as the secretary since the era of Duke Huan, and since then he has served as a seventeenth generation of Qi Jun, and he has been in the Qi country for two hundred years!" In the intertwined forces of the DPRK and China, this time Bao Mu has made a great contribution, and I really don't know how to calculate it in the future! The Lord might as well be relentless! β
Although Qi Mourning Gong is indecisive, to put it bluntly, he is an emotionally unstable person. was provoked by Tian Qi before, and now he is angry. I heard that I was willing there! Immediately scolded: "How can it! The widow is a king, and he Bao Mu is a courtier, does he dare to rebel! β
The Duke of Qi Mourning immediately sent someone to reprimand Bao Mu and ordered Bao Mu to evacuate and occupy the two cities of Lu within three days. Bao Mu can't help it, will he kill the monarch again? On September 24 last year, Qi Jinggong died, and a coup d'Γ©tat took place a month later, expelling the three heads of the family, Guo, Gao, and Yan. Immediately after that, Jiang Cha, the son of the monarch of the State of Qi, was deposed, and it did not take long for him to be killed, and the current monarch of the State of Qi, Yang Sheng, ascended the throne.
Suppose Bao Mu killed the Duke of Qi Mourning, that is, in just one year, three monarchs of Qi died. Are the other doctors in the Qi Kingdom willing? It is conceivable that after the killing of Qi Mourning Gong, the turbulent situation in Qi State, even Tian Qi did not want to see it. In the case of almost everyone's opposition, even if Bao Mu was dissatisfied, if he could not kill the king, he could only obediently give up the two cities he had taken from the Lu State.
Although the husband is regretful, this time it is a small victory, and he also returns to China. And Lu Guo will not be stupid to continue to fight, Hu Tian happily accepted the two cities. The only thing to lose in this war was the Qi State.
But this matter did not end because of this, Bao Mu returned to China, Qi mourning the public rewarded the meritorious people, it stands to reason that the first merit is naturally the commander of the Qi army Bao Mu. However, Qi Mourning Gong used Bao Mu's defeat to the Wu-Lu coalition army, but defeated the Lu State, and the merits were offset. There was no reward, as if Bao Mu had come back from an outing.
How is this so convincing Bao Mu? immediately made a fuss, pointed at Qi Mourning's face, and scolded: "If it wasn't me at the beginning, you would still be a proton of Lu Guo!" β
Qi Miangong was so angry that the two beards on his lips were raised high, and he trembled, and after half a ring, he came back from his anger and scolded: "The widow is the king? Suppress for the king! (Am I a king?) Or are you the country! Bao Mu snorted coldly: "Those who have merit are evil, and they are called for you?" (The bad treatment of the meritorious people, is this the king?) There is a subconscious meaning in Bao Mu's words, to the effect that I recognize you as a country? The meaning of killing the monarch is faintly revealed.
When the doctors saw this, they couldn't let them make trouble anymore, and they didn't care that Bao Mu really came to kill the king. The doctors immediately came out and sludge. But how can this matter be reduced to a small thing like this, and a small thing to nothing? In the end, Qi mourning Gong was guilty of rudeness in front of Bao Mujun and cut down 300 households in his fiefdom.
Bao Mu was so angry that he didn't wait for Qi Mourning Gong to say that he would retire from the dynasty, so he said angrily: "The minister is sick!" Bao Mu had already strode out.
Angry Qi mourned the birth of the first Buddha, the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and the three corpses jumped violently, clamoring to cut Bao Mu and seal 300 households. Tian Qi knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and if you cut 300 households, you would just cut 300 households, and then cut 300 households, so that Bao Mu would rebel. Tian Qi immediately persuaded Qi Mourning Gong, and Qi Mourning Gong took back his life. However, the contradiction between Qi Mourning Gong and Bao Mu also existed deeply, and Qi Mourning Gong didn't know what he had done in these days, and he was killed for him.
And Bao Mu was no better, and his move also caused the disaster of exterminating the clan for him.
Speaking of Yang Zilu, I received the latest news from the station, and I also knew that my husband had won a small victory. immediately announced the news, and the doctors suddenly realized that everyone felt that Yang Zilu was really prescient.
At this time, Wen Chong offered advice to Yang Zilu. "Lord, although the husband has won a small victory, this is enough to be proud of his ambition. Proud people will love extravagant things. In the past, it was said that Qi Linggong had conquered the Lu State five times, and he believed that he was already the overlord. Build a high platform, a beauty pageant, and finally be defeated by the princes of the Jin Kingdom, and the slightest hegemony will immediately suffer a heavy setback! And now Jesus can do that! β
Yang Zilu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! β
After finishing speaking, Yang Zilu couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity that Fan Li still doesn't want to be used by the widow, otherwise he would be the best person this time!" β
Wen Chong smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Yang Zilu sent him to persuade Fan Li a few days ago, but Fan Li was not as strong as the heart of fame and fortune in literature. Fan Li not only did not surrender, but scolded Wen Chong fiercely, and scolded Wen Chong to cover his face with his sleeves and leave.
Yang Zilu sighed and said, "That's it, let Zigong do it!" Zigong should have arrived in the territory of Wu by now. Come on, let the remnants come to see me! β
β¦β¦ Wu Guogu Su Cheng ...... After Zigong went to visit Bo Ya, Bo Yao immediately went to the palace of King Wu to see the husband who had just returned from the class.
When the husband saw Bo Yao looking for him, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he still asked people to summon Bo Yao in, and when he saw Bo Yao, before he could salute Bo Yao, the husband couldn't wait to ask: "Dazai is looking for a widow and I don't know what it's for?" β
After Bo Yao saluted his husband, he said: "The king, the minister remembered an important matter, so he hurriedly came to the king, lest he forget it!" β
"Oh! I don't know what is important? When the husband heard this, the curiosity in his heart was even greater, and the husband looked at Bo Yao and asked.
Bo Yao replied with a solemn face: "King, the minister remembers that the first monarch (ιιΎ) defeated the Chu State, and after the class teacher returned to China, in order to show the national prestige of the Wu State, let Wu Xiangguo build the city of Lu!" Now the king has defeated the quasi-overlord Qi State and revived the hegemony of Wu State! The minister thought that a high platform should also be built to show the national prestige of Wu! β
The husband was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was the most proud and extravagant man, and immediately asked, "Does Dazai have a good proposal?" β
Bo Yao pretended to think for a while, and said: "The minister heard that Gusutai has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and the king can rebuild Gusutai." First, Gusutai already has a foundation, and the money and food spent are not large. Second, it can also show the national prestige of Wu, so that all countries can see the strength of Wu's national strength! β
The husband was overjoyed and said: "It's exactly what the widow wants, Dazai will go back and prepare, and hand over the widow at the court meeting in the future!" β
When Bo Yao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, but when he thought of something, he immediately stretched his brows, and respectfully saluted his husband: "No! β
