Since the Marquis of Qi lost his enterprising spirit and greedy for pleasure, although the strength of the Qi State has not declined, the threat has greatly decreased. It's just that under the governance of Guan Zhong, the state of Qi is still prosperous and rich.

For this situation, Wang Yong is not at ease. Because the foundation of Qi is very thick, and Guan Zhong's meticulous governance over the past 40 years, the strength of Qi can be said to be much higher than that of other countries, and the only one who can defeat Qi is Huai.

However, Huai can be said to be enemies on all sides in Bangzhou, and it is good to win the war, but the consequences of losing are very serious. Although the state of Qi has lost its enterprising spirit, as long as the Marquis of Qi regroupes, it will soon recover.

Therefore, Huai Guo did not relax his vigilance against Qi State, according to Wang Yong's idea, it was to let Qi State continue to slide into the quagmire.

Wang Yong then ordered the intelligence network of Huai State to give eye medicine to the five sons of Qi State, blow the wind, and push the boat down the river, so that these five sons could have a good fight.

Qi country, Linzi.

Since the founding of the first Qi Marquis here, it has experienced more than 200 years of wind and rain, and the mottled city walls tell the glorious history of the city.

This is a rare long-lived person of the Qi Hou clan, and he is also assisted by the famous minister, and the national strength of the Qi country is at its peak. But now Linzi looks like the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

The Marquis of Qi was critically ill, the palace door was closed, and there were five sons who were qualified to succeed to the throne.

Originally, the eldest son had no loss and was the most promising to inherit the position of the Marquis of Qi, and the Marquis of Qi also promised that the prince would be the crown prince without loss, and the mother of the eldest son without loss was the daughter of the Weiguo Office, but the Marquis of Qi did not officially issue the edict at the beginning.

But the Qi Hou people are not old-hearted, Gongzi Zhao's mother Zheng Ji is young and beautiful, and she is empathetic, and the Qi Hou who waits is very comfortable.

When people get old, they will become more and more confused, and their ears will be soft, so after being happy again, Zheng Ji softly pleases Qi Hou, and Qi Hou does prefer Gongzi Zhao. So he was persuaded by Zheng Ji to change Gongzi Zhao to the crown prince.

Since then, Gongzi Wuwu is naturally unwilling, Huaiguo's secret agents are naturally clear, and Gongzi Wuwu is also fond of extravagance, forgetting righteousness, he will definitely not do well as Qi Hou, which is too in line with the interests of Huaiguo, so he let the secret agent assist him and give him advice to make good friends with Yi Ya and Erection.

Yi Ya and Ji Diao are both greedy for profit, with the help of Huaiguo spies, Gongzi quickly befriended the two without loss, and promised that they would be reused in the future. As for another favorite minister of the Marquis of Qi, Wei Kaifang supported Gongzi Zhao because he hated Wei Guo.

And the other sons are also not fuel-efficient lamps, and they all have their own henchmen and secretaries to support them. Unwilling to give up the position of Marquis of Qi.

Originally, according to the normal procedure, Qi Hou was seriously ill, so he naturally wanted to inform the inside and outside, so that Prince Zhao was ready to ascend the throne, but Yi Ya and Ji Diao, as Qi Hou's close attendants, had been bought by Gongzi without loss, how could they agree to Prince Zhao's accession to the throne, immediately cut off the inside and outside, and sent someone to inform Gongzi that there was no loss.

Childe has no loss and has an internal response, and he takes the advantage of being the first to strike first. But the other sons also reacted quickly, and immediately sent people to rob it, and the entire Linzi became a battlefield.

Gongzi announced that the Marquis of Qi had promised him the crown prince, and he was the eldest son, and the position of the Marquis of Qi should be inherited by him. And the other few people were not convinced, saying that Qi Hou was a joke at the beginning, and without an edict, you are just talking nonsense.

Bang Zhou is indeed the primogeniture inheritance system, and the Marquis of Qi has no son-in-law, that is, the eldest son inherits. In this case, there are really many Qi Guo offices that support him.

The entire Qi country fell into war, and no one cared about the sick Qi Marquis in the palace. In order to obtain the position of Marquis of Qi, Gongzi gave a big reward to the aristocratic office that supported him.

After getting the promise of no loss from the son, these nobles and ministers supported the son without loss. Childe's strength increased rapidly, and he defeated all four of his younger brothers in a row. The last four younger brothers could only escape from Linzi with the help of Huai intelligence officers and flee to other vassal states.

Gongzi won the victory without loss, and it was only at this time that everyone remembered the Qi Hou in the palace, but at this time, the Qi Hou was already cold, and even the corpse was already rotting.

Gongzi made people collect the bones of Qi Hou without loss, and then couldn't wait to take the throne of Qi Hou. It's just that after he became the Marquis of Qi, he found out that dang

At the beginning, in order to gain the support of the nobles, the prince made promises without loss, and gave too many benefits and rights to those nobles.

If all of them are subordinate, he, the Marquis of Qi, is almost a puppet.

As soon as he thought of this, the prince was unwilling to lose anything, he was now the Marquis of Qi, not a son, why did he bow to those nobles, so the position of the Marquis of Qi was not in vain?

And at this time, the secret agent of Huaiguo, who had advised him at the beginning, admonished: "The king is the Marquis of Qi, and the grace is from the top, how can he force the king to be sealed?"

Immediately, the Marquis of Qi found all kinds of excuses to directly deny the rights of interests and rights that he had promised, and this time, it made those nobles and scholars angry.

Okay, we paid money and effort to help you drive away those brothers of yours and help you ascend to the position of Marquis of Qi, but now it's okay, we don't recognize people, right, you wait for us!

Gongzi did not take those nobles and scholars to heart, and still favored Yi Ya and Erection, wantonly exploited the countrymen, and enjoyed extravagantly.

On the other side, Gongzi Zhao ran to the Song Kingdom with the help of Huaiguo's secret agents. When Qi Hou was still alive, he felt that Gongzi Zhao was young, and his elder brothers were not fuel-efficient lamps, so he invited Song Gong to protect Gongzi Zhao and help him ascend the throne, plus his mother was the daughter of Zheng Guo's office, so Gongzi Zhao sent someone to contact his mother Zheng Guo.

The Duke of Song immediately agreed, and the Song State at this time became stronger and stronger after years of development, and immediately agreed to help Gongzi Zhao regain the position of Marquis of Qi. So the Duke of Qi contacted Zheng Guo, Cao Guo, and Yi Guo to escort Gongzi Zhao back to China.

The nobles of the Qi State were immediately happy when they heard that the Song Duke had joined forces with the Zheng State, the Cao State, and the Yi State to attack the Qi State. No loss, don't you think that if you succeed Qi Hou, you will be able to lose your credibility? This lets you know how awesome!

Gongzi was furious when he learned that the allied forces of the Song State and other countries were coming, and directly sent a large army to fight the Song State. As a result, since he ascended the throne, he has favored Yi Ya and erected a mess, and these two people have wantonly accepted bribes, exploited the people, and caused anger and resentment.

As a result, the morale of the army was low, and the morale of the Song State and other countries was high, and there was the secret support of the nobles, as a result, the army of the Qi State was defeated, and the combined forces of Song, Zheng, Cao, and Di were like a bamboo.

Gongzi Zhao ascended the throne with the help of the Song State and the Zheng State, the Yi State, and the Cao State. Although the nobles of the Qi State defected, the things that these nobles did at the beginning did not forget Gongzi Zhao.

Gongzi Zhao is not a magnanimous person, not to mention that these nobles first betrayed him, and then betrayed Gongzi without loss, how dare Gongzi Zhao trust them.

So Gongzi Zhao used the power of Song State, Zheng State and other countries to purge the court of Qi State, and only then did he sit firmly on the position of Marquis of Qi.

......

In the winter of the forty-third year of Huan Gong, Huan Gong was ill, and the close servants Yi Ya and erected Diao to isolate the palace gate, the five princes of Qi competed for the throne, Huan Gong starved to death, and the princes stopped the corpse and attacked each other regardless of the armor. On the sixty-seventh day, the son ascended the throne without loss and buried the Duke of Huan.

In March, Song, Zheng, Cao, Yi and other countries escorted Gongzi Zhao back to Song, the Qi army was defeated, Qi Hou had no loss, and Gongzi Zhao ascended the throne.
