Lu Buchen seemed to have been prepared, and said unhurriedly: "Your lord, the minister and Ji Hui have aunts and cousins, when he came to join the Qi country, the minister did not suspect that he had him, so he took him in." Later, I heard about the things in the pickaxe capital, and I was about to question him, but Ji Hui first found out the news and had fled. Now, the minister doesn't know where he is. How do I hand over someone? ”

It's a bunch of nonsense! Ji Xie pinched the corner of the desk tightly, his knuckles turned white from excessive force, and he almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Is it?" That Qi Hou is really useful-heart-good-bitter! ”

Ji Hou understood, waved his hand, and the warriors in front of the palace rushed forward, took down Lu Buchen, and shouted angrily: "The king has a life, Lu Buchen protects the rebel prince Hui, and he is guilty of the same crime, and he will be temporarily detained." ”

Ji Xie was extremely angry, and said to the Central Plains princes who were about to move: "If you want to be guilty of the same crime as Lu Buchen, just plead!" ”

Seeing that Qi Hou was dragged down before he could shout, the princes of the Central Plains were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Ji Xie looked at them like this, and then he felt a little relieved in his heart. His stern gaze swept over everyone under the stairs one by one, and then fell on Song Li's son.

"Song Gong has always been okay?" King Zhou Yi asked coldly.

Zi Kui was transferred out of the ranks, knelt down and said: "Thanks to the king Hongfu, the minister has always been fine." I haven't seen him for many years, but the king's demeanor is still the same, and the ministers are very relieved. King Meng's edict, the minister was the Song Dynasty, and he was impressed in his heart and from the bottom of his heart. ”

There are two meanings to this. The first is to miss the old, when Ji Xie was a prince when he was a child, he studied in the palace school, in addition to the children of the royal family, the princes from all over the country will also send their children to accompany him. So Zi Kunci and him are a bit of a classmate. Secondly, it is very powerful, the biggest sin of Zi Kun is to kill his uncle and seize the throne, but since the king of Zhou has recognized him as the official Duke of Song, this article can no longer be pursued.

King Zhou Yi touched a soft nail, snorted in his nose, glanced at Ji Hou and said: "I heard that Ai Qing married a new lady, and she was so tired that Ji Hou's beloved daughter committed suicide, how do you explain this?" ”

"The king," Zi Qi worshiped and kowtowed again: "When the minister was a son, he asked Ji Hou for marriage, but Ji Hou did not promise at that time. After the minister ascended the throne, the Song Palace was unattended, so he asked the Marquis of Qi to marry the princess as his wife. But for some reason, Ji Shizi also sent his sister to Shangqiu that day. The minister didn't mean to embarrass Princess Jiang, but Mrs. Yan can only have one person! had to put forward a wish to accept her as Mrs. Ru, but Princess Shaojiang was angry and left angrily. The minister really didn't know that she would hang herself to death, and she really felt ashamed to think about it, after all, she died because of the minister, and she gave her life in vain, and it was a pity! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Ji Hou also pointed at Song Ligong and scolded: "It is clear that you sent someone to say after you ascended the throne, and you are willing to marry Shao Jiang as your wife, and the dowry that you asked for back then is still in the Ji Palace!" How can you not count? ”

"There's really no such thing!" Zi Kun Xi looked stunned: "At that time, the minister clearly asked to marry Ji Hou's concubine. Now that the minister is already the Duke of Song, how can he marry a concubine as his wife? It doesn't make sense! ”

"You ------ you ------" Ji Hou was so angry that he pointed at him and was speechless. Ji Xie was a little embarrassed, everyone knew that Ji Hou only had one concubine, that is, Ji Jiang, the favorite concubine who was now in Qiuliao Palace. He really didn't know that there was such a play. In this way, it is not good for him to embarrass Song Ligong, lest others say that he is embarrassed and in love. It's important to get to the end of this matter quickly!

"That's it!" Ji Xie raised his sleeves and stopped: "Since this matter is your furniture, it is inconvenient to openly argue with each other in the court. Ji Hou lost his beloved daughter, it has nothing to do with you Song Guo, no matter what, Song Gong, you have to show an attitude! ”

Zi Kun Ci knew that he had roughly passed the test, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a deep sigh: "No! The minister was also heartbroken that Princess Jiang had died young, and he was willing to cede Ji Guogao and Fang to apologize. ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes present bowed slightly, feeling that the matter had come to this point, and Song Guoken was already very sincere in cutting the two cities, not to mention that Shaojiang's death was in the final analysis, or Ji Hou himself rushed to end this family to cause trouble. People have backed down so far, what are you going to do?

Ji Hou Tie blushed and didn't squeak, and Lu Hou, Chen Hou, Cai Hou and others had already gone up to comfort him. The general idea is that people die and cannot be resurrected, and now that Song Gong is willing to retreat to this point, it is not easy for the two countries to form a grudge, and everyone will have to mix in the Central Plains in the future, so it is better to reconcile. You and I said one sentence, Ji Hou was dizzy, and then looked at King Zhou Yi's appearance that he didn't care about himself, and understood that it was unrealistic to stew Song Qi and the two gentlemen together, so he had to do one first.

"That's it!" Ji Hou waved his sleeves impatiently: "Then so be it!" ”

"Young master, I heard that there was a heated debate in the court today, why did you not say a word?" In the study of the East Palace, Ji Hu asked curiously with wide eyes. According to his understanding, his master, as the prince of the country, always has to express his opinion on such a big matter.

"Not only me, but also Zhou Gong didn't say a word?" Zhao Bohu blew the tea leaves in the tea bowl in his hand, and a trace of anxiety and panic appeared in Zhou Gongding's eyes when Qi Hou was dragged down. He's still determined! Such a big scene, I was stunned.

Although Ji Hu is only nine years old, he has been at the center of the power struggle for a long time, and he is still a little politically sensitive: "What? What's wrong here? ”

"Now in the court, Duke Zhou is obviously on the side of Qi and Wang Zihui, Ji Hou! Of course, for the sake of his daughter and grandson, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not deal with the queen and His Royal Highness the crown prince in the future, and seek to seize the throne and the throne of the prince. The two of them are fighting, and it is not bad for you to be the queen and the crown prince. After speaking, Zhao Bohu smiled bitterly, once upon a time, he actually figured out the power technique? Could it really be the situation?

"However, didn't the queen mother still promise Sister Bo Ji to Qi Shizi? If Qi Hou is really disposed of, what should I do with this family matter? Thinking of his sister Boji, Ji Hu still couldn't help but be concerned.

"This family affair is originally to appease the Marquis of Qi, if this time it can really force the Qi State to hand over the prince Hui, it is also a good thing. This person has repeatedly plotted against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if he can use the power of Ji Hou to get rid of him, why not do it? It's just that at the moment, when these two parties are fighting, there will be an injury, so let's avoid it. ”

"So, the young master asked to go to Fengyi to repair the ancestral temple in preparation for the big sacrifice next month?" Although Hojing is the royal capital, it is necessary to go to Fengyi to hold a large-scale festival, which is the birthplace of the ancestors of the Zhou people. King Zhou Yi wants to lead the princes of the Quartet to hold a big sacrifice this time, so naturally he wants people to stand forward.

Zhao Bohu smiled slightly: "It's not me, it's going with His Royal Highness the Prince, how about it?" ”

"That's a good idea!" Ji Hu jumped up happily: "Staying in the East Palace all day, I'm almost suffocated to death!" ”

Fortunately, the autumn harvest has passed, and the husbands have left their wives and children and fields to gather in the suburbs to serve in the construction site. This is a major national image project, on the day of the winter solstice, Zhou Tianzi will lead the princes to come here to worship the ancestors.

With the prince in charge, Zhao Bohu personally commanded, less than a month, the trumpet of labor disappeared, and a pampered high platform towered on the outskirts of Fengyi. The colorful flags on the stage are displayed, and the white marble railing sets off the bluestone steps, this scene makes people see the heart shake, and suddenly the pride of the vertical and horizontal.

After the completion of the project, according to the etiquette system, the prince should return to Hojing to restore his life, and solemnly invite King Zhou Yi to the ceremony. After Ji Hu reluctantly said goodbye to Zhao Bohu, he embarked on the journey back to the royal capital alone. In fact, Feng Ho and the two places are called two capitals, not too far apart, if the horse is whipped, there is a day and a half time to arrive. But Ji Hugui is the crown prince, and his actions must be steady, and the horses pulling the cart are bumpy, and he has been walking for more than three days before he can see the city wall of Hojing.

The city is still the same as it is familiar, but for some reason, an eerie atmosphere pervades the city. Ji Hu lifted the curtain of the car and found that both the soldiers defending the city and the ordinary people were looking evasively, as if they were afraid of touching his gaze. But as soon as their chariots and horses moved forward, they whispered and pointed behind them. Occasionally, one or two voices came into my ears, which was nothing more than "The king is also for the prince's ------".

Ji Hu lowered the curtain and said in his heart: What the hell is going on?

Entering the palace, the atmosphere is not just described by the word "weird". He just asked: "Why is the bronze tripod in front of this hall missing?" The attendants looked as frightened as if they had seen a ghost, and fell to the ground trembling, almost dropping their jaws.

Something big must have happened! Ji Hu forcibly suppressed the doubts in his stomach, and first went to the main hall to ask to see King Zhou Yi, but he was unexpectedly closed. The general of the imperial guard avoided the prince's questioning eyes with a weak heart, and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the king is not feeling well, and he has been exempted from the court for a while, and he has not seen anyone, please go to the middle palace to see the queen first!" ”

After speaking, he gave a salute, quickly turned around and walked away, as if he was afraid that Ji Hu would ask him a second sentence.

In the queen's middle palace, Ji Hu successfully visited the queen mother. Fanji looked as usual, and kindly asked his son how his errand in Fengyi was doing, but he was still used to it, and Ji Hu felt that his heart was a little settled.

Ji Hu was about to open his mouth to ask, and suddenly the chamberlain Jia came to pass the word: "The king summoned Niangniang to serve the sick!" ”

"Mother, what disease did my father have? The child also wants to visit Duxiao! ”

Fanji's eyes suddenly became a little suspicious, as if there was something difficult to say. She glanced at the deer sheep and said, "It's rare for the prince to come back, just have Ji Sang accompany me, you can stay and talk to the prince!" ”

As a queen, some words and things that cannot be put on the table are inconvenient to declare, so she has to entrust the credible people around her to say them. So, what doesn't Ji Hu understand? After sending off his mother, he turned around and asked, "Mama, what happened in the palace?" Why is everyone so mysterious? ”
