Chapter 394: The Art of Vertical and Horizontal Fighting
The capital of Qi State, Linzi.
In the palace, the Marquis of Qi Lu Pestle was meeting with the ministers to meet the envoys of Wu from afar, Kong Qiu and Bo Kuo.
Kong Qiu handed over Qingji's handwritten letter as soon as possible, and asked Lu Qijiu to take a look at Qingji's apology full of true feelings.
At the same time, Kong Qiu took a gift slip and read it aloud: "In order to apologize, the monarch of my country should present a gift to the Marquis of Qi to congratulate the Qi State on the great defeat of the Jin people and the joy of defeating the alliance of the princes!" ”
"The congratulatory gifts are as follows: 10,000 taels of gold, 10 pairs of jade, 100,000 pairs of jade, 100,000 stones of rice, 1 pair of rhinoceros horns, 1 stone of agate, 1 pair of coral......"
Hearing this, including the Marquis of Qi and Lu Pestle, the monarchs and ministers of Qi couldn't help but face covetousness.
Greedy!
Rao is the wealth of the Qi country, and there is no shortage of gold and jade in the treasury of Lu Pestle and Mortis, but things such as rhinoceros horn and agate belong to the native products of the Wu country, which is not available in the Qi country.
As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, and Lu Pestle can naturally see its value.
"Ahem!"
Lu Pestle immediately coughed lightly and said, "Good! Wu Hou's sincerity, the widow already knew, asked Confucius to tell Wu Hou on behalf of the widow. ”
"When the State of Qi was in danger, the State of Wu sent troops to the south, and it was difficult to help the war, which is understandable."
"Thank you Qi Hou for your understanding!"
Kong Qiu hurriedly bowed and said.
His task has been completed.
After all, this time Wu Guo had a lot of blood!
Fortunately, Qingji doesn't pay attention to these things outside his body.
Wu has had a prosperous economy and a rich treasury in recent years, so a little congratulatory gift can still be obtained.
"Confucius, Yan Ziwei entered Qi with you. Dare to ask, where is Yan Zi? ”
Lu Zhu frowned.
"Back to the Marquis of Qi, when the foreign ministers came, Yan Ziyan said that the mountains and rivers of Wu State, the scenery was pleasant, and he wanted to see it quickly, so he lingered and forgot to return."
Kong Qiu replied with a smile.
"I see."
Lu Pestle didn't care.
Because the envoy to another country has a lot of authority, after completing his mission, he can travel in other countries.
It's a commonplace.
After Kong Qiu and Bo Gu retreated, Lu Pestle dispersed and was about to leave the main hall, but was stopped by Xiang Guotian begging.
"Xiangguo, what's the matter?"
Lu asked puzzled.
Tian Qi seemed to have something unspeakable, and said again and again: "King, the minister has a matter, I don't know if I should tell the king?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Hearing this, Tian Qi immediately bowed down and said: "The king, the ministers are afraid, Yan Zi has not returned for a long time, and he has also thrown himself into Wu's heart." ”
"Sangkook is joking."
Lu Zhujiu waved his hand, smiled, and said: "Xiangguo, don't hide it, among the ministers of my Qi country, anyone may rebel against Qi and switch to another country." ”
"However, only Yan Zi, the widow thinks it is impossible!"
Seeing Lu Pestle swearing like this, Tian Qi did not panic at all, and said, "The king doesn't know anything. Regarding Yan Ying's rebellion against Qi and Wu, it is not groundless. ”
"The minister has a certificate, he is a house slave in Yan Ying's house, and he made Wu with Yan Ying, because he couldn't bear to see Yan Ying's rebellious behavior, so he fled all the way to Linzi, and was accepted by the minister yesterday."
"Where's that man?"
Lu Qijiu asked with a frown.
"It's outside the temple right now."
"Xuan!"
With Lu Pestle's order, a young man in cloth who was covered in bruises and low spirits entered the hall with low eyebrows.
"The villain Zhongli, see the monarch, see the country!"
The cloth-clothed young man named Zhongli hurriedly knelt down and shouted.
"Are you really Yanzi's slave?"
"Don't dare to deceive the monarch!"
Zhongli hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The villain is the slave of Yan Zi, and he follows the master to make Wu, but I don't think that Yan Zi actually made a ghost to send a god and show favor to Wu Hou." I will also send the map about the mountains and rivers of my Qi country to the Wu people! ”
"What?"
As soon as he heard this, Lu Jiujiu was immediately taken aback.
Mountains and rivers defense map, this is no joke.
The map may be marked with the number of troops stationed in each of the fortresses of the city gates, which is extremely important!
Yan Ying actually gave such a confidential thing to Qingji?
Lu Pestle is really unbelievable!
At this time, Tian Qi, who was standing under the majesty's platform, couldn't help but lower his head and laughed secretly.
What is going on, Tian Qi is naturally clear.
"Yan Ying has really betrayed Qi and surrendered to Wu?"
Until this time, Lu Pestle still had a skeptical attitude.
After all, Yan Ying is already a handful of people, and most of his body has been in the coffin, what is the benefit of rebelling against Wu at this time?
Isn't it an insult to his Yan Ying's first name?
……
Xiangguo Mansion.
In the side hall, Tian Qi was sitting opposite the court commander of Wu State.
The flickering lights reflected the somewhat sinister faces of the two.
"Tingwei, according to the orders of King Wu, the monarch and Yan Ying have a disagreement."
Tian Qi shook his head and said: "It's just that, with all due respect, although the monarch is suspicious by nature, he is not a stupid person, and he must not do anything to expel an old minister with high moral integrity." ”
In the huge Qi court, there is hardly anyone who knows Lu Qijiu better than Tian Qi.
Therefore, Tian Qi's opinion has a certain reference value.
"If the Yan clan flees to Wu by himself, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Qi doesn't have to be suspicious, and this matter will be settled."
Bo Biao smiled mysteriously.
"What do you mean by what Captain Tingwei said?"
"When I came, I had ordered someone to use Yan Ying's handwriting to forge a letter to his family, if Yan Ying ordered his son Yan Yu to move his family to Wu State, Xiang Guo thought, can this matter be done?"
"Shhh
Tian Qi couldn't help but gasp.
According to his understanding of Yan Yuan, this person only knows how to conform to the rules, and he agrees with the teachings of his father Yan Ying.
I'm afraid that after hearing the news of Yan Ying's rebellion against Qi and Wu, and seeing his father's family letter again, he will really do that kind of stupid thing!
What a poisonous plan!
Tian Qi glanced at Bo Yu deeply.
"Tian Xiang, there is one more thing, I hope to get Tian Xiang's full help."
"What?"
"My king wants to get the fields."
"What?"
Tian Qi couldn't help but glare, "Tingwei, King Wu's appetite is too great. Whether it's Yan Ying or Tian Sui Tho, they are all the ministers of my Qi country, and the king of Wu is all going to go, and the country of Qi will ...... in the future."
"Tian Xiang, this doesn't seem to be something you should consider Tian Xiang."
Bo Yan sneered: "Besides, getting rid of Yan Ying is a great thing for Tian Xiang. ”
"As for Tian Sui Tho, I heard that although Tian Sui Tho is of the same clan as Tian Xiang, it is just a partial branch and the relationship is estranged, Tian Sui Tho and Tian Xiang are close to each other?"
Tian Qi was immediately asked.
The relationship between him and Tian Sui Tho can be described as lukewarm.
Although he has a certain kinship, Tian Sui Tho, in order to prevent himself from going too long with Tian Qi's Tian family and making the monarch suspicious, he always alienates Tian Qi......
"Tingwei, I know what it is. Please rest assured! ”
"Good!"
