Chapter 264: Gu Qinghan's life experience
The court of Qi was lively, a large table of wine and food was placed, the nobles in the palace celebrated, and the people in the palace naturally followed suit.
for the upcoming celebrations.
People from all over the world will come, and Quanzhou, the capital of Qi State, will be flooded with a large number of people, and it will definitely be full of people and lively. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Qi State has not ushered in such a major event.
All the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the people of Qi seemed to be slightly blown away by a breeze, and the sunlight pierced a hole through the clouds, as if an exit had been found, but I didn't know when this exit would be closed again.
The new emperor held a ceremony to celebrate his accession to the throne, and the reform process of the Qi State centered on Quanzhou temporarily slowed down, and the people who radiated to the following naturally followed suit and began to be lazy.
Emperor Qi Lu Nong is entangled in affairs, so he has no time to take care of these for the time being, and there is no way to know whether he will settle accounts after the autumn.
In short, a festive-like atmosphere of excitement and jubilation permeated in the Qi Kingdom, and they even expected that after this grand event, the Qi Emperor's mind would be changed, so that he could understand the people's feelings and no longer make the people of the government and the opposition panic.
People of insight privately commented that the new emperor was eradicating dissidents, and that when the old emperor was in power, many ministers were autocratic, and local forces were divided and the pattern was chaotic, making it impossible for the new emperor to concentrate power in his own hands.
Therefore, in response to this change, it is purely His Majesty to take back power, as long as His Majesty takes back all the power, then there will be no further reform.
The strength of Qi is quite strong among several countries, and the soldiers who are called into the army rely on fishing to make a living before entering the army, and they are all neat and strong, so the strength of the army is very strong.
Over the years, unlike other countries, there have been disasters from time to time, and the weather has always been smooth. There is also food and grass, and the army is also strong, so there is no reason not to do something.
In Qi Nong's view, the state of Qi is powerful, but if power cannot be concentrated in his hands, then when he goes out to fight and expand his territory, he will not be able to perfectly command the three armies and convince them.
If he is not convinced, his quest will not succeed and his ambitions will not be realized. The reason why his father passed the throne to him was so that he could expand the territory of Qi, and if he didn't succeed, then everything he did would be meaningless.
The change is ostensibly as the people see it.
Re-plan the area of partition and eliminate the people who used to be vegetarian in the corpse position.
Those who are found to have taken bribes and perverted the law will be dismissed from their posts and investigated, and they will be punished. The beheading of those who should be beheaded, the exile of those who should be exiled, and the imprisonment of those who should be imprisoned will not be tolerated.
In addition to the guilty ones being rectified, all those who disagree with Yu Qinong's decisions will also be punished together, and such people are more killed, because Qinong does not want him to be obstructed by the same group of people in the future, anyway, they are all old ministers, pedantic and inflexible, and it is useless to keep them, it is better to solve them as soon as possible.
For this reason, Qinong set up a special picket guard, and corrected wherever it was found, and these people were all close ministers of Qinong.
Because of this grand event, the progress of the picketing slowed down, and they were also recalled to Qi Nong's side, which is why the people felt relieved.
Without him, these pickets are too ruthless.
Not to mention anything else, the picketing that started in Quanzhou, the capital of Qi State, was the first to rectify a few big corrupt officials, and it was very happy and popular, but the Gu family was really loyal and courageous.
In order to dissuade His Majesty from trying this policy, the old lady of the Gu family crashed into the palace and died in the hall, and ended up being hastily buried in a thin-skinned coffin.
The Gu family of Qi is known as the hundred-year-old Gu family, it is the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, the family has a large population and is very prosperous, and the old lady Gu of this generation is even sitting in the position of the prince and young master, but he still did not escape in this catastrophe.
Because of the reason why the old man of the Gu family crashed to his death in the palace, His Majesty was angry, and the pickets suspected that the Gu family was related to the embezzlement case they were investigating.
Before the Gu family could even bury their own old lady, they fell into a crisis of being thoroughly investigated. The sons of the Gu family and the side house were put into prison during this endless intentional inspection and sentenced to death.
The period was less than half a month. The speed of action is unbelievable, and the other ministers who still want to walk around for the Gu family are also unable to protect themselves.
After the big tree of the old lady of the Gu family fell, the so-called tree fell and scattered, and the Gu family, which was originally quite prestigious in the capital of Qi State, declined like this.
Gu Qinghan, the youngest son of the Gu family, happened to be absent from Kyoto, and he was lucky to escape, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being hunted down.
Qi Guo issued a wanted warrant, if Gu Qinghan's trace is found, report it immediately, cut the grass without roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.
Therefore, Gu Qinghan escaped from the Qi State and followed the caravan all the way to the Wei State to wander.
This Gu Qinghan was the young man who described a beggar that Qi Shu met on the street. Later, Gu Qinghan was included in the mansion of the old prince Ji Ci because of his outstanding pen and ink and good handwriting, which was also a coincidence.
Ning Ze and Qi Shu, who were waiting in the carriage, were chatting about the political affairs of the Qi State, and happened to talk about this matter when analyzing the current situation of the Qi State.
"We both know that it is not easy for Qi to convene the important task of various countries this time, but how can you conclude that he wants to draw a clear line?" Qi Shu lay on the carriage, the remaining soft mattress felt a little prickly and a little hot, and the scabbed wound regrew new skin and was very itchy.
"Because the new emperor of Qi State, Lu Nong, is extremely conceited, so he does not look at weak countries in his eyes, such as Zhao State, which is close to him, if he guesses correctly, the first object of Qi State will be Zhao State."
When he saw Qi Shu twisting his body unnaturally, Ning Ze took out something from his side, and then got up and gently pulled out the mattress under Qi Shu and replaced it with other cushions, in order to make Qi Shu feel better.
After the slightly refreshing and slightly cool cushion was placed under him, Qi Shu obviously felt much more comfortable, and he no longer felt itchy and unbearable.
"Lord Wang, you haven't been to Qi Country, how do you know what kind of person Lu Nong is?" Qi Shu seemed to feel a little unbelieving, so he clearly questioned it, after all, how could hearsay be true?
"Even if he hasn't been to Qi before, just by what he did, you can tell that he is definitely a bad person, stupid." Ning Ze's tone was doting and coquettish, making Qi Shu, who had just asked the question, want to pump himself.
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Shu looked at the roof of the carriage with a serious face, not looking at the bewildered expressions on the faces of the people around him.
"What did Lu Nong do after he ascended the throne?"
Qi Shu subconsciously shook her head, she didn't even know very well what the situation was in the court of the Wei State, how could she know the dynamics of the Qi State?
"Actually, to put it simply, after Lu Nong ascended the throne, he executed many corrupt ministers, but he also killed many old ministers and people who opposed him.
Because these ministers opposed his drastic implementation of the new policy, Lu Nong even punished several of their clans.
Many of them were heroes, prestigious and talented people of the Qi State, how could they wantonly torture and kill them if it were not for extreme conceit? To establish a new order on the ruins of the old order, and thus lead the people he has cultivated to expand the territory to the outside world, I guess this is the ultimate goal of Lu Nong.
How could someone who had become accustomed to stability choose to follow him? So Lu Nong simply killed them all. Ning Ze's face was very deep when he said these words, because Lu Nong's ruthless methods were not a good thing in his opinion, after all, the world was stable, and no one wanted to cause any trouble for no reason, but if someone provoked this, it would definitely be difficult to end.
At the very least, it will never end without experiencing a bloody storm.
"Hmm." Qi Shu felt a little frightened, he didn't expect that the new monarch of Qi was such a cold-hearted person, and he could feel the jealousy in Ning Ze's words when he was talking about him.
"Do you remember that Gu Qinghan you once met on the street?"
"Uh-huh?" Qi Shu turned his head and glanced at him strangely, who is Gu Qinghan? After thinking about it a little, it seems to be a little impressed, but I can't remember it, and I can't remember it.
Ning Ze smiled a little when he saw her trying to remember, and his white fingers lightly put the belt on Qi Shu's chest to his side.
"If you don't remember, don't remember, don't think about it, that Gu Qinghan is a famous family in Quanzhou, the capital of Qi State, after being destroyed by Lu Nong's order, only Gu Qinghan escaped, and now he is hiding in Wei State, and he is in Shaoliang.
Guess where he's now? ”
Qi Shu was a little inexplicable, but after thinking about it, in order to cooperate with Ning Ze, he still casually said an answer.
"Prime Minister Fei's family?"
"Do you think Prime Minister Fei Cheng will be the one who takes in the hot potato? After all, Qi has issued a wanted warrant, if it is found that Prime Minister Fei has taken in criminals from other countries without permission, do you guess he still wants to sit in the position of prime minister. ”
"There are so many high-ranking families in Shaoliang, you just let me guess how I can guess?" Qi Shu said with disgust.
"Do you remember what you were going to do when you weren't going to go to the county seat of Guangchuan before?" Ning Ze thought about it, so many people Qi Shu couldn't guess it, so it was better to prompt her directly.
"Isn't there a recruitment document for Old Prince Ji? Me, huh? The Gu Qinghan you are talking about can't go there, right? "How could the old prince Ji Ci take in the exiled fugitives of the Qi Kingdom? Impossible.
"Yes, the old prince was entrusted by Liu Guogong to prepare it for you, but you didn't go, so the old prince casually recruited a person with a beautiful handwriting, so that Gu Qinghan mixed in."
"He must have changed his name, right?"
"As far as I know, no." Ning Ze said with a smile, how did Qi Shu, who turned his head to look at him, think that this smile was a little bad.
