Chapter 048: Be Honest
Qingji was not mistaken, the next morning, Ji's family came to summon, saying that the son Ji Sunsi invited him to Luzhou Tower for a banquet, Qingji was about to expand his influence in Qufu at this time, and immediately readily agreed, and agreed to go to the banquet after noon. At that time, large families had already begun to use sundials and omissions to keep time. Sunny days with sundials, rainy days and nights with missing carving, but there is no twelve hours of time, the time of the day is only divided into several time periods, the appointment of noon this more clear time, can make the date of both parties more accurate grasp of the time.
Soon after the Ji family's family left, the maid of the house came to report that Yang Hu had arrived. Qingji immediately got up to greet him, and Yang Hu only brought a servant and a groom, and drove a carriage to Yayuan. The two were already acquaintances, and there were no too many politeness, so Qingji went out and returned to the inner house with Yang Hu, on the high seat. Yang Hu took a seat and said with a smile: "Childe, is this Yayuan still in the habit of living?" ”
Qingji smiled: "Very good, quiet and elegant, birds and flowers, like a fairyland on earth, although this small garden is not wide, but like the Jiangnan building, mountains and rivers, lush forests, thank you Lord Jisun and Brother Yang Hu for arranging such a comfortable residence." ”
Yang Hu's face changed color slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Qingji Gongzi, this is ...... I can't help it, the son is the son of the king of Wu, and Yanghu can't afford to call the son of Qingji a brother. ”
Qingji smiled lightly: "Why can't you afford it?" Every wealthy family is more gentle, although the life experience is noble, Qingji is not in his eyes, Brother Yang Hu is bare-handed, can have today, not great wisdom can not do, but the world's heroes, heroes regardless of origin, Qingji has always only respected characters like Brother Tiger. ”
"Heroes don't talk about their origins......" Yang Hu has always been scheming and calculating, but this sentence also moved him. It is easy for him to make others fear him, but it is not something that can be done with power. What he wants in his life is nothing more than to get rid of the fate of a house slave, this time hearing such words, his excited eyes were moist, and he bowed solemnly to Qingji for a while, and sighed: "Gongzi values it so much, Yang Hu is grateful." It's just that...... It's just the name of this brother, and don't mention it in front of people, otherwise it will inevitably make people ......"
Speaking of this, Yang Hu showed a bitter smile on his face, his extreme inferiority complex created his surname of extreme self-esteem, he has always hated others the most for his identity and family background, and now he admits that his status is low.
Qingji understood as soon as he heard it, he laughed and said: "The clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid, those gossips, Qingji only thinks that he is farting, how can he take it to heart?" ”
Yang Hu smiled gratefully, and then said with a straight face: "Childe, Yang Hu is here, and he will teach if he has something." ”
Qingji said: "Brother Tiger, please speak." ”
Yang Hu took a deep breath and asked, "What the unknown prince said, there are still 30,000 soldiers in Aicheng to defend the country, is this true or false?" ”
Qingji's heart tightened when he heard this, although Ji Sun Yiru is now in power in Lu State, but Ji Sun Yiru is very old and a big nobleman, so it is impossible to show up in everything, in fact, many major things are done by Yang Hu, that is to say, this humble Ji family slave is the one who really controls the power of Lu State. If he explains the details, it is equivalent to handing over all the initiative to the other party, which is too unfavorable for his current situation.
Thinking of this, Qing Ji laughed and said, "What, Brother Yang Hu still has any doubts?" Qingji 30,000 horses are indeed there, if it is not for the lack of food and grass, it is not difficult to recruit some soldiers, you know, such as today, there are many broken warriors in various countries, they want to restore the glory of their ancestors, and the one who relies on them only has one hand of bravery, and if you want to develop, is there a better choice than to throw yourself at my Qingji? The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, who doesn't understand this truth? ”
"What a icing on the cake, a charcoal in the snow!" Yang Hu praised it, then looked at Qing Ji for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's good if Gongzi really has 30,000 soldiers and horses, if Yang Hu is not bad, and the uncle and grandson and Mengsun have suspicions, it will definitely make people go to Weiguo to investigate the truth." ”
Qingji's face tightened slightly, with his heart and experience, after all, he couldn't do the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing in front and not changing color, Yang Hu saw it in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "However, my lord has the heart to help his son and serve as a servant." Yang Hu still has a certain influence in Lu Guozhong, and the son does not have to worry about this aspect, even if they have the intention to make up some 'lies', Yang Hu should also testify for the son. ”
Qingji thought to himself: Sure enough, even if this kind of thing can be concealed from the three Sanhuan family masters who have been high since childhood, do not know the grains, and are not close to the common people, they can't hide it from this Yang Hu who is a good person, listening to the meaning of his words, it is clear that even if I am lying, I will help me perjury. People like him don't know how much hardship they have endured since they were children, and how many people they have struggled with to the death before they have earned the position of power they are today.
Such a person's surname is stoic, cold as iron, the only thing that can make them respect is strong strength, not to mention that I just called him Brother Yanghu, so that he is a little grateful, even if I cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper with him, he will not take his future surname because of such a sentence, unless...... What he did was what Ji Sun Yiru meant. Why did Ji Sun Yiru do this?
Thinking of this, Qingji looked upright, and said solemnly: "Thank you Brother Yanghu for your kindness, Lord Jisun intends to help, Qingji is naturally grateful, it's just ...... I don't know what the conditions are for Lord Jisun, but I hope that Brother Tiger can make it clear, I'm afraid that there is something that I can't handle, and Qingji also knows it, Qingji doesn't want to do things that don't trust others. ”
Yang Hu smiled and said: "Childe, my lord only hopes that when Gongzi succeeds in recovering the country, he can become a brotherly state with Lu State, watch and help each other, advance and retreat together, and this is enough." ”
Yang Hu said that is to establish a military alliance, one country has something to do, the other country has to send troops to help, unless the third country is sure to deal with the Wu-Lu coalition army, otherwise it is possible to maintain a peaceful situation for a long period of time and a considerable area.
Ji Sun Yiru is the ruler of the Lu State, this is his power, but also his obligation, if there is such a day to achieve the Wulu Alliance, it will undoubtedly be quite beneficial to the stability of Ji Sun Yiru's rule. However, this is an uncertain battle, an investment with little hope, and it is essentially no different from gambling, does Ji Sunyi have that courage?
Yang Hu pressed his hands on his knees, his eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "There is no need to doubt the child, Lu Guo has always been good at literature and etiquette and light on martial arts, so the military equipment has always been weak. My master has the heart to cheer up and help Son, it is an opportunity, I don't know what I said, does Childe understand? ”
What Yang Hu said was too vague, but fortunately, Qing Ji had more than two thousand years of knowledge, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally understood Ji Sun Yiru's intentions. Ji Sun Yiru's purpose in doing this was to find an excuse to start a foreign war, so as to divert domestic contradictions. This is indeed a clever move, once the war is launched, it is a matter of life and death for the whole country, the original internal contradictions, internal disputes, whether you want to or not, must give way to war, otherwise the thief who becomes a country will be punished by everyone, and it will be much easier for Ji Sun Yiru to centralize power.
Knowing Ji Sun Yiru's purpose, Qing Ji's heart stabilized, unless Ji Sun Yiru was willing to give up the power he had or found a better way to concentrate power, he would definitely help him to defeat Wu. Yang Hu saw that he was overjoyed, so he reminded: "Son, the uncle and grandson, the Mengsun family and the Ji family have ruled the Lu country for two hundred years, with deep roots and strong power, although my lord has the heart to help the son, but if the opposition is too great, and even causes the division of the Lu country, then my lord will not ignore the consequences." ”
Qingji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Tiger for reminding me, I don't know if Brother Tiger has a good plan?" ”
Yang Hu smiled slightly: "There is no good strategy, now that the prince is in the Lu country, why not make a wide range of popularity, the more people who support the prince to defeat Wu, the greater the chance of the son's victory." My father-in-law said yesterday that he was feasting on his son in the palace, which was a step of temptation, and next, it depends on how the uncle and Meng families respond. ”
When Yang Hu said this, he got up and arched his hand and said: "The people who are invited to the banquet today are the sons of the wealthy families in the capital, if you can get their friendship, it will be very helpful to the prince's affairs, and the prince may wish to open his mind and make friends with these sons." Hehe, that's all he said, Yanghu still has something to do, so he will leave. ”
