Ji You decided to get rid of his own brother. He sent a messenger from the palace to order Shuya in the name of Duke Lu Zhuang to wait for instructions at the home of the doctor and Wu outside the city. Shuya felt a little stunned, because Zhuang Gong had never given a similar order. He was a little worried, but he didn't hesitate to set off in the car.

The relentless autumn rain kept falling, just like the gray mood of the uncle's teeth. Uncle Ya felt for a moment that he had committed a heinous crime, and the crime was not punishable; For a while, I felt that what I said was nothing, and that it was superfluous to worry about fear. Xuanche left the south gate of Qufu and then turned west, and Shuya came to the Wuwu house all the way up and down.

Knowing what was about to happen, he invited his uncle to the main room; The two sat opposite each other, not saying a word.

By this time it was already completely dark, and there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the ground and "lulu" cars outside the door. The witch goes out to greet the guests. Ji You braved the rain and walked out of the car, handed a vial to the witch, and then whispered a few words in his ear. The witch couldn't believe the authenticity of Ji You's words, he was almost frightened; But Ji You motioned for him to look at the car window; The witch looked sideways, and the curtain of the Xuanche was suddenly pulled open from the inside—there was actually another person who came with Ji You.

By this time, it was already dark, and by the dim light of the front of the car, the witch saw that the man had half of his face exposed, and smiled mysteriously at him. The witch didn't hesitate any longer, he saluted Ji You with a solemn face, turned around and walked into the door quickly.

It turned out that the person was Lu Zhuanggong's personal eunuch servant. The waiter entered the palace to serve Lu Zhuang Gong since he was a child, and the two grew up together, close to each other, as a monarch and minister outside, and as a brother inside. The squire never flattered the prince and the ministers, nor did he flatter his ministers, he was like an emotionless robot, faithfully and silently guarding his monarch. Once, Qing's father drank too much and inadvertently said something disrespectful to Lu Zhuanggong; The waiter immediately took the case, pointed at his nose and scolded, and Qingfu, the first minister of the Lu State, apologized again and again, and became no temper at all.

So the people of Lu regarded the servant as the shadow and spokesperson of Lu Zhuanggong. It was only when he saw him come in person that he knew that what Ji You said was true.

The witch walked into the side room, ordered the servant to fetch a wine lord, poured the liquid from the bottle into it, and then carried it into the room, and brought the poisoned wine to his uncle. Shuya was pacing back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back, and he saw that the other party was stunned for a moment, but immediately regained his composure.

The witch said: "The prince has an order: 'Drink this, there will be a future in the country of Lu; Otherwise, there will be no queen! Shuya took the poisoned wine, lowered his head and paused slightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Is it true that if you tell the truth, you will be given death?" The courtiers are unwilling! O prince, do you think that killing one person can save a country? Impossible! ”

Uncle Ya drank the poisonous wine, and then, as usual, strode out of the gate and boarded the car. The poison set on very quickly, the uncle had severe pain in the abdomen, his throat felt salty, and his nostrils began to bleed. He curled up in the carriage, biting his wrist, trying not to let out a moan. When the car rode to Kuiquan, which was not far from the capital, Mide heard a "bang" sound from the carriage, and he immediately stopped and jumped down to check, but saw that Shuya had fallen in the car and died.

The whole office was very secretive about the death of the uncle, and everyone remained horribly silent. Shuya's eldest son, Gongsun Zi, was made heir. Duke Lu Zhuang sent the prince to mourn, and after the prince arrived, he casually delivered a well-written eulogy for his father.

After Qing's father attended Shuya's funeral, he hid at home and said that he was ill, and the affairs of the entire country were handed over to Ji You alone.

On the fifth day of August in the autumn, Duke Lu Zhuang died of illness, and the prince ascended the throne, which was like a king; The waiter killed himself and was buried.

There was once an attendant named Yu Renqiu, who was a slave of pure blood, about the same age as the prince, and he was handsome and strong. When he was a child, he was sent to the prince as a companion.

The young prince and the young prince mingled all day long, and the relationship was quite close for a while. But as the prince grew up, he developed a stronger and stronger sense of respect and inferiority in his heart, and he gradually distanced himself from him. However, the prince still trusted him very much, and later gave him a beautiful job of raising horses.

The aristocrats of the Lu State were particularly fond of competitive competitions such as wrestling, some of which were reserved for slaves; The victor is satisfied and may be given freedom; The vanquished are depressed, and if they don't get it right, they will be sold to the mountains to mine. Both Yu Renqian and Qingfu's slave Shen Hu are the favourites for the championship in various competitions.

During the lifetime of Duke Lu Zhuang, the office once replaced the door panel for the south gate of the capital (i.e., Jimen), which became an excuse for the nobles to hold a competition to celebrate the completion of the project. The crown prince took this event very seriously, and he summoned him and told him that if he could win the competition, he would burn his Danshu (slave certificate) and make him his personal guard. Overjoyed, he opened his arms to embrace the prince, but the prince raised his head arrogantly and stretched out his hand to make a "don't come near me" gesture.

He ran out in a puff of smoke, almost knocking the prince's sister Princess Xiao, who was walking with her head down. Princess Shinoh blames him for acting recklessly and not looking like an adult at all. But the man stretched out his arms and lifted her up three times and shouted, "The prince wants to release me!" And make me his guard! I can finally ride on the chariot and gallop across the field! ”

Princess Xiao said, "He! Can you take me for a ride? My brothers said that women could not ride in chariots, and they refused to take me! "Of course you can!" I'll take you wherever you want to go! ”
