Lu Guo Sanhuan began to prepare for the marriage of his daughter, buying and preparing the dowry, selecting the house slave maid to accompany the marriage, and with the strong family resources of the Sanhuan family, it is to marry his daughter to other ministers, and the scale will never be small, let alone marry Wu to be the princess.

When Ji Sun Yiru found a few sisters Teng to marry Wu Guo for Xiaoman from the side door, she was opposed. Teng marries many girls, which is beneficial to the women who marry. As long as she is there, no matter how favored the woman who married with her, her status will not be higher than her, but will consolidate her position. If she did not bear an heir for her husband, the child born to the girl she married would make up for this shortcoming, which was an important guarantee of the woman's rights in marriage in an era of high infant mortality. But no matter how hard Ji Sun Yiru persuaded him, Ji Sun Xiaoman just didn't agree.

Ji Sun Xiaoman has a great prejudice against the members of the paternal family, if it is not a very solemn matter to marry Princess Wu, according to the etiquette system at that time, she must return to the family, and the family will do it, she does not want to have anything to do with the Ji family at all, of course, she does not want to marry with those sisters who have never had a relationship, Ji Sun Yiru does not want to fall out with her, this matter has to be stopped, but the Ji women who were selected and are about to marry Wu secretly cursed her. As for the uncle and grandson Shaoguang, she let her father choose a cousin and a niece of the same age, sweet and lovely appearance for her to marry, don't look at her usual men's clothes, and she is very good at reading in Qufu.

In the Qufu Palace, as the time of Ji Sun Xiaoman's marriage approached, Ji Song's temper also became more irritable, often drunk and drunk, whipping the temple people, making the palace silent, for fear of touching his moldy head.

Kong Qiu Ming said that he was about to leave Qufu and preside over the excavation of the river canal and the project of connecting the north and south rivers of Lu State, and was entering the palace to bid farewell to Ji Song at this time. He wanted to take advantage of the rebellion of Sanhuan's retainers to induce Sanhuan to demolish the fiefdom city, so as to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the plan to weaken Sanhuan's strength was discovered by Yang Hu.

The demolition of the fiefdom city, while weakening the strength of the Sanhuan retainers, will also weaken the strength of the Sanhuan, which Sanhuan will not understand, it all depends on how they choose, Kong Qiu is not completely sure that he can succeed, so after being debunked by Yang Hu, he was not discouraged, and immediately made up his mind to start preparing for the centralization of power by force, and carefully planned the repair of the canal.

However, what he didn't expect was that such an obscure plan was seen through by them again not long after Sanhuan readily agreed, and the counterattacks of Ji Sun Yiru and Shusun Yu followed, and finally he was completely hollowed out and forced to withdraw from the power center of Lu State.

"Alas! Am I in a hurry? Maybe I should wait a few years and deploy it calmly? But now that the monarch is in full swing, and there is a chaos to contain Sanhuan, it is the best opportunity. Among the staff of the Sanhuan family, who has this ability to see through my plan at a glance? With my departure, the monarch's situation will be even more difficult, and some of the advantages that have just been gained will be wasted. ”

Kong Qiu thought worriedly, and when he came to the palace of Lu Jun Ji Song, the temple people entered to spread the news, and after a while, he came out and whispered: "Doctor Kong, please come in, the monarch has drunk too much and is in a hangover." ”

Kong Qiu is Ji Song's teacher, and his closest courtier, he can enter and leave the palace freely, listening to the words of the temple people, he frowned slightly, dusted off his clothes, and went inside.

The wine in the main hall was smoking, Ji Song was lying on the desk, holding a silver kettle in his hand, the body of the pot was half crooked, and the wine spilled on the table, wetting his robe. A few disheveled palace maids, seeing that the robes were neat and the crown on his head was high, the great priest Kou Kongqiu walked into the hall with a solemn expression, hurriedly got up, hurriedly saluted him, and then retreated as if fleeing.

"Hmm...... How did you go? Accompany...... Drink with the widow...... Drinking......" Ji Song said inarticulately, raised the wine jug, and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Minister Kongqiu, see the monarch."

Ji Song turned a deaf ear, Kong Qiu raised his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Kong Qiu, see the monarch!" ”

"You...... What do you shout, and the widow hears you...... Audible. Ji Song staggered his head, glanced at him, and raised the pot to drink again.

Kong Qiu frowned, and stepped forward to persuade: "Monarch, now that the civil strife is not settled, the government is in dispute, the monarch drinks and hangovers, and ignores the affairs of the court, this is not the way to be a king." ”

"The way of kingship?" Ji Song sneered: "Master Confucius, you ...... Don't preach to the widow. The government, the government has its own three huan to share the worries of the widow, what else does the widow need to deal with? Hehe, the widow only needs to ...... As long as you drink and have fun in this harem and have more children, you are done...... I have done my duty as a king. ”

"How can a monarch be so passive?" Kong Qiu said excitedly: "Yes, now that Sanhuan is in charge of the government, it is difficult for the monarch's decree to be implemented throughout the country, but compared to the previous decree not to go out of the palace, I don't know how much better." Now the monarch has rebelled internally, and the country has been intimidated externally, and his prestige is blazing. The monarch is in full bloom, as long as he perseveres, slowly draws it, one day, he will be able to ......"

"Bang", the wine jug was thrown to the feet of Kong Qiu by Ji Song, the wine in the pot splashed his robe, Ji Song laughed wildly: "Forget it, the widow can't even keep a beloved woman, haha, she is still a citizen of my Lu country, what is the prestige, what is the government, it is all wishful thinking, Lu Guo ...... Lu Guosanhuan has been in power for more than 200 years, and the roots are deep, who can shake them, and they will be happy in time, or they will be happy in time. ”

Kong Qiu said excitedly: "You can't think like this, the king of a country, beware of the world, how can you be depressed for a woman?" Although the minister is ignorant, as long as the minister is there, he will do his best......"

"You are foolish!" Ji Song stared at a pair of red and swollen eyes, and looked at Kong Qiu with a hideous expression: "It is you who persuaded the widow to give up Xiao Ai in exchange for Sanhuan to give up the position of the chief secretary!" It was you who persuaded Sanhuan to demolish the Fengyi city! Please order the canal to be repaired, and it is you who will take the money and grain of the three huans! The result? ”

He jumped in front of Kong Qiu and said with spittle: "The city of Sanhuan will not be demolished, and the opposition to the widow is wary; The matter of repairing the canal is now in their hands, but they have transferred all the money, food, and men and horses that the widows have worked hard to accumulate to repair the canal, and they have also dismantled the men and horses that have entered them; The widow is the king of a country, and he can't keep a beloved woman, and he has become the laughing stock of the whole world! All of this, the widow is ...... Blease, you, so, give! ”

Kong Qiu's beard trembled: "Your ......"

"Needless to say, you go and dig your river, the widow drinks the widow's wine, the beauty ......, what about the beauty? All for the widow to come back......"

Kong Qiu was in a hurry, grabbed his sleeve, and shouted: "Your Majesty! ”

"Huh?" Ji Song turned his head, Sen Ran glared at him, and sneered: "Let go!" ”

Kong Qiu said sadly: "Your Majesty, what is the temporary defeat, we finally have the situation we are talking about, even if we can't cut off Sanhuan for a while, we just need to preserve our strength, and forbear it for the time being, there is no chance." In the past, the king of Chuzhuang did not sound for three years, and he became the overlord of the world. ”

"The widow has heard enough of your lessons, your reasoning, and give the widow out."

"Your ......"

"Didn't Dr. Kong say that the monarch and the minister, the father and the son? Why do you turn a deaf ear to what my father says? The widow told you to go out, did you hear that? ”

After Ji Song finished speaking, he suddenly pulled hard, hissed and ripped off the half of the sleeve, and then staggered away with a bare arm, Kong Qiu held half of the sleeve, standing there in amazement, the cups and plates in the hall were messy, the wine was smoking, as soon as Ji Song left, several small temple people crept in to clean up the cups and plates, they secretly peeped at Kong Qiu, Kong Qiu stood there, with a gloomy face......

Xiangyi at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.

Xiangcheng is a city of Shusun Yufengyi, so to the west, it is the territory of Lu, and to the east across the Cangshan Mountains, it is the territory of Dongyi. At this moment, the men and horses of Zhan Nao and Gongshan are temporarily stationed here. Since the retreat of the Qi State, the Lu [***] team began to concentrate on fighting the Zhan Zhi rebel army, the pressure of the Zhan Zhi suddenly increased, the Dongyi army had the help of the Wu army, and the defense force was also greatly strengthened.

At this time, Zhong Lianghuai led the remnants of the defeated army to flee from Pengcheng, and he lost an important base of Zhan Nao, which was another heavy blow to the Zhan Nao army, and these predicaments made many big thief leaders at a loss. Originally, they were just some robbers who gathered in the mountains and forests, they had no goal in life, they could rob if they could, they could flee if they couldn't, and it was a matter of course for officers and soldiers to catch bandits, but Zhan Zhi led them to rebel and depicted a bright future for them to worship the prime minister, so that they began to care about the victory and defeat situation.

Leaving the meeting hall, Zhong Lianghuai entered the room where Gongshan Buwu lived, sat down opposite Gongshan Buxuan, and said hatefully: "What kind of face did he have when he persuaded people to convince us to rebel?" You and I brought a lot of money and food to join him, how did you smile? Now he reprimanded me in public, without leaving me a trace of affection, how unreasonable! ”

He and Gongshan Buwu were both born as slaves of the Ji family, and they were different from the thieves under Zhan Qi, so when they arrived here, the two naturally got very close and formed a faction.

Gongshan said lightly: "You have lost such an important foundation as Pengcheng, and you have lost all the grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and you only led some cronies to flee back, and as the chief general of the three armies, how can you follow your own interests?" Reprimanding in public without asking for guilt is already very forgiving. ”

Zhong Lianghuai glared and said, "No, you also blame me for being cowardly and afraid of war, right?" Yes, if I am not as good as you when it comes to marching and fighting, I am not as good as you, but if I want to hold on to the city, can't I do it? Who took Pengcheng from the Song people? When I took Pengcheng, I didn't ask you to help Zhan Nao, could it be that the old man could fight at that time, but he couldn't fight when he entered the city? ”

He remembered the terrible situation when the stone rain flew down from the sky, the brains of the middle people burst out, and the bones and tendons were broken, and he couldn't help but shiver coldly, and said in horror: "No, you don't know the power of the Wu people, they used a strange siege weapon, fist-sized stones, pouring down like raindrops, fast and fast, Pengcheng has no hidden soldier hole, and ordinary shields are really difficult to resist." There are also those Wu soldiers, who are even more barbaric than the Dongyi people, many of them are shirtless in the heavy snow, tattooed with colorful dragon and snake patterns, all of them are brave and heroic and abnormal, if you encounter them, you will know how powerful they are. ”

Gongshan frowned slightly, and said, "Wu people are really so powerful? ”

Zhong Lianghuai glared and said, "Now that I am talking in private, will I still tell you to cover up your ugliness?" Yes, when it comes to fighting, I'm not as good as you, but if you guard Pengcheng, you will never be Liang Huzi's opponent, the soldiers of that fight, all of them are like crazy demons, just the shouting is terrifying, 30,000 Wu people will attack Chudu, hundreds of thousands of Chu troops are helpless, what do you say the combat power of the Wu army should be? It's this Wu army, but it was beaten by Qingji's men and horses, how brave Qingji's soldiers and horses should be You can't imagine? ”

Gongshan sighed and was silent.

Zhong Liang Huai said: "When I was guarding Pengcheng, you were in Feiyi, where it was Zhan Foot's lair, and it was enough to retreat to the mountains to protect yourself when you were really defeated, why did you come here now?" ”

Gongshan Bu smiled bitterly: "If you return to his lair, of course, you can protect yourself, but if the people of Kelu give a way out, don't they return to the old path of bandits?" We're going to fight the world now. ”

"Fight the world......" Zhong Lianghuai suddenly said regretfully: "No, you are originally a slave of the Ji family, so you shouldn't think that you can get ahead and be a minister." Showing off his feet with some rhetoric, I thought he was so good. It's a pity that when he was a big thief, he was invincible in all countries, but he didn't know that he didn't see the opposite, and the head of the Sanhuan family didn't want to make a big effort to embarrass him, but now it's different, alas, it's just hitting a wall everywhere, Qilu is making peace, and our chances are ......"

Gongshan Bu clenched his fists and said viciously: "Gong Shan Bu is not ruthless, I don't believe it, Yang Hu can be a doctor, why can't I Gongshan be ruthless?" I must let everyone in the world know that my Gongshan is also a dignified husband, and he will never be under his Yang Tiger, and what he can do, I can do it as well. ”

Zhong Lianghuai shook his head slightly, and said worriedly: "No, the exhibition is ambitious, but the sky is not timely, people are not convenient, the Wu people are now with Dongyi to join forces, after the Qilu peace, the Yanghu army has increased greatly, we now have the Lu army in front of us, and the Wuyi coalition army in the back, just want to save our lives, but also a difficult matter, what else to talk about, the achievement of prestige?" ”

Gongshan glanced at him, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhong Lianghuai saw it and said, "If you have something to say, why bother to spit out?" ”

Gongshan hesitated for a moment, and said with a flick of his hand: "Wait and retreat, close the door!" ”

The soldiers serving under him hurriedly retreated according to their words, and Zhong Lianghuai frowned and said, "What is so careful that even your cronies have to avoid it?" ”

Gongshan Buwu leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, according to Bufu, it seems that the number of Zhan Qi has been exhausted, and he is not a protectable master, should you and I make some plans for our future?" ”
