Chapter 452: Lu Zhaogong meets Jin Zhaogong
Seeing that Fang Jishi did not accept it, Jin Zhaogong did not insist anymore.
In fact! He just said it politely. Or! It's a temptation! And the real purpose is to hope that the great god will continue to help him. No! It was to continue to help his son ascend to the throne.
He and Fang Jishi are inseparable friends.
If Fang Jishi really promised him and was willing to take over the power of the Jin Kingdom, he would also be relieved. He believes! After Fang Keystone takes over power, he will treat his children and grandchildren well and will not kill.
If someone else were replaced, it would be possible to kill all the people of the royal bloodline without leaving any trouble.
In those days, there was a special one. If the people of the royal family are not destroyed, some people will make a fuss about people of royal blood, and people of royal blood will be elected to overthrow the position of the seizing power. So! Once you take someone else's position, you generally take the opportunity to kill and leave no trouble.
Unless you have absolute strength, you are in charge of the domestic power, and you are very good in diplomacy, and no one can shake you, you will not kill.
Under normal circumstances, they don't kill you on the surface, but behind the scenes, they try their best to kill you and solve the troubles.
Under Fang Jishi's refusal, Jin Zhaogong had no choice but to take back the words. And then! The two discussed the future. Both of them know who is credible, who is not, and who is ambiguous. At last! It was determined who were the "ministers of life".
Fang Jishi once again rejected Jin Zhaogong's kindness, not to be this "minister", he didn't want to go to the forefront, he just wanted to continue to contribute behind the scenes.
"As a mysterious force, it has a deterrent effect!" Fang Jishi persuaded.
Jin Zhaogong thought about it and felt that it was the same thing. Anyway! In the entire Jin Kingdom, no one knows that the cornerstone of his party is the person of Jin Zhaogong. Keeping him in the background, the opposition forces don't know how much hidden strength there is behind Xinjun.
After discussing domestic affairs, we began to discuss diplomacy again.
Especially in the time of the transfer of power at home, the support of diplomatic forces is even more needed. If it is internal and external troubles, the speed of a country's disintegration will be accelerated.
Right now! Jin Zhaogong's body can't be seen to be abnormal on the surface, so! It is still possible to conduct diplomatic activities.
Under the influence of Fang Jishi, Jin Zhaogong decided to meet Lu Zhaogong.
And for Lu Zhaogong, being able to tie up with the Jin Kingdom is a good thing. With the big country of Jin as a backer, Ji Pingzi and the other three major families did not dare to underestimate him, let alone be arrogant.
After discussing with Jin Zhaogong, Fang Jishi returned to Lu State.
Back in Lu, two concubines have already given birth.
Like giving birth to Fang Zhong and Fang Shu, the two concubines were conceived on the same day and gave birth on the same day. Just as the doctor judged, it was a girl who was born! Two big girls, very peugeot girls. Since childhood, you can see that she is a beauty when she grows up.
What is unsatisfactory is that not long after Fang Jishi left, Qi Guanshi did not wait for the day of the natural delivery and was unexpectedly born prematurely. Moreover! The premature baby did not survive. It's a girl, it's a pity.
Qi Guan's heart was not convinced, and he cried all day long.
Confucius was not in a very good mood, and his anger was a little big.
Meng Pi learned that Qi Guan's family accidentally "flashed" the baby, and his younger brother and sister were in a bad mood, so he sent his little daughter over, wanting to comfort the two.
Qi Guanshi got up in the morning to make breakfast, and accidentally fell and caused a miscarriage. Since it is not yet full-term, the aborted baby cannot be raised at all.
OK! Brother Meng Pi sent her little daughter, a girl who was still breastfeeding, and gave her comfort. The Qiguan clan has no milk, but Fang Jishi's two concubines do, so they raised the girl.
Confucius had a niece, and his mood gradually improved.
It is precisely for this reason that the later Confucius liked his niece more than his own daughter. After all! This niece appeared when he was in a bad mood, soothed the wounds in his heart and brought him joy.
With two little babies, Fang Jishi stayed at home all day, taking care of his daughter, with a smile on his face.
On Lu Palace's side, he just went to visit him when he came back.
When Lu Zhaogong learned that Jin Zhaogong was willing to see him, he was very happy and immediately prepared to go to the Jin Kingdom.
Fang Jishi didn't care about Lu Zhaogong's affairs, pretended not to know, and was dedicated to taking care of the baby at home.
Because! He couldn't tell Lu Zhaogong about Jin Zhaogong's physical condition. Jin Zhaogong's physical condition cannot be revealed to anyone, so as not to spoil his good deeds.
But? If he didn't tell Lu Zhaogong the true situation, he was worried that Lu Zhaogong would rely too much on Jin Zhaogong and rely on the Jin Kingdom.
Lu Zhaogong has always had ambitions, and he wants to get rid of the shackles of Ji Pingzi and other three major families and become a real king, but he is worried that he can't find a backer.
It can well be imagined! Jin Zhaogong took the initiative to show goodwill, he couldn't ask for it!
Fang Jishi was most worried that Lu Zhaogong relied too much on Jin Zhaogong, and the result would be in vain. So! He didn't dare to get involved in this matter, so he could only let it develop naturally.
The news that Jin Zhaogong invited Lu Zhaogong was not conveyed by Fang Jishi. But! The envoys of the Jin State came to convey it.
For the sake of a smooth transition of power, the Jin State had to take the initiative to show favor to the surrounding vassal states. So! Only then did he send an envoy to "invite" Lu Zhaogong.
Of course! Not openly that kind of invitation, but indirectly.
Outcome! The Lu Zhao Guild was wrong and insisted on going to the Jin Kingdom to pay a visit.
In 527 BC, in the fifteenth year of Lu Zhaogong, Lu Zhaogong visited Jin Zhaogong.
Jin Zhaogong was very happy when he saw Lu Zhaogong's arrival, and met him in the warmest way. And then! Engage in confidential conversations with them several times as your body allows. In public, he also took him with him many times to show his closeness.
"Lu Gong! I understand you! As a king, he can't preside over state affairs, and the power is concentrated in the hands of the three major families such as Ji Pingzi, so his mood is understandable! ......" When talking in private, Jin Zhaogong made a deeply touched look and said.
"Yes! Oh, yes! I'm sitting on a needle mat all day, and I'm anxious! Lu Zhaogong said busily.
"My father-in-law was preparing for me to take over power before he was alive, and it took me five years to hand over all the power! After my father-in-law died, I was able to take over the whole ......"
"Yes! Oh, yes! Lu Zhaogong said impatiently: "What am I? I am Ji Pingzi's father, Ji Wuzi, who supported me to ascend the throne. Alas! What can I do? He didn't kill me, he was already merciful......"
Lu Zhaogong seemed to have found a confidant, and he vomited it quickly, and spit out all the bitterness in his heart.
Jin Zhaogong was also very moved when he saw that Lu Zhaogong took himself sincerely. But? Now he can't protect himself! And how can we help him?
If there is no problem with his body, he is willing to help the other party. Furthermore! He also saw that Lu Zhaogong had a personality and integrity, and he was a person worth associating. If he is in charge of state power, he can still govern a country well.
