Chapter 161: Hard (2)
They looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Think about it for me, isn't this the truth? What has Lu Chen done for the Luo family in the past few years since he became the suzerain?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay again, Lu Hong gave a sinister smile, and said, "What Lu Chen did was for himself, and he didn't think about our family at all. Think about it, everyone, clean and honest! Yes, Lu Chen is a An upright official, however, he is only innocent. Has he ever thought about the future of my Luo family? He has offended so many important officials in the court. Lu Chen's own selfish desires let us other Luo family members look at the faces of others and be punished everywhere. It's embarrassing, is this what the suzerain of the Luo family should do?"
When he said this, many people in the Luo family began to sympathize. Lu Chen is a bookworm. Although he is tall, he is very brainy. He never considers how many people he has offended. I'm dealing with corrupt officials, so it's hard to avoid offending people. Lu Chen is never afraid of this, but the people of the Luo family are different. Many people are offended by Lu Chen, so they look for opportunities to embarrass other members of the Luo family , the people of the Luo family have suffered a lot. At first, they resented each other and felt that they were very hateful.
But people's thinking always has a certain slavishness. From resenting the other party's greed and hatred, they gradually began to complain about Lu Chen. If their suzerain turned a blind eye, it would not be like this. As an official, there are some frictions to some extent, just muddle along.
Now that Ruo Hong said that, he just hit everyone's slavishness, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Luo Hong said again: "Think about it again, after Lu Chen came to power, what did he do to my family? A dog of the Dou family?! My family and the Dou family are inseparable. Doesn't Lu Chen know that? But he abandoned the dignity of my Ruo family and flattered Dou Qi in everything, as if the Dou family was superior and my Ruo family should serve them tea and water. I have to pick it up!"
As soon as he said this, others immediately said: "Yes, yes, it was the same last time. It was obvious that our Luo family made great contributions in attacking Yongguo Fangcheng, but in the end all the credit was taken away by Dou Qi, and Lu Chen let us Don't try to grab credit, this stubborn Lu Chen is not worthy to be our suzerain!"
"That's right! He doesn't deserve it!"
"It doesn't consider the interests of our family at all!"
"That's right, he, Lu Chen, only thinks about himself!"
Seeing that the wind direction of the crowd was one-sided, Luo Hong smiled sinisterly, raised his hand, and signaled for everyone not to be confused, and said: "Everyone, everyone! Everyone in my family, please don't be confused! Listen to what I say to Hong Hong !"
Everyone slowly calmed down, and all looked at Luo Hong, who said: "Now, the current situation, I think you can see clearly, Lu Chen is in prison, and my family is facing a serious injury that has never been seen in eternity. The authorities framed my family indiscriminately, there must be someone who made a hindrance, you say, who is it!?"
When he said this, the people of the Luo family immediately responded, "Who else can it be, a member of the Dou family!"
"That's right, Doujia people!"
"That's right, it's from the Dou Family, it must be Dou Qi!"
Luo Hong said: "That's right, there are treacherous ministers like Dou Qi by the king's side, and my Luo family has an indisputable suzerain like Luo Luchen. My Luo family is now in danger! My country of Chu is also in danger now." Everyone from the Luo family is a good man from our country of Chu, the King of Chu is bewitched by Dou Qi, how can we sit idly by?!"
What Luo Hong said was impassioned, as if he was a loyal minister, but others didn't know, in fact, Luo Hong was going to jump the wall in a hurry. Now that Luo Luchen was in prison, and Wu Jiu asked Cao Xiao to confront him, Luo Hong was the one who was really corrupt.
Speaking of which, Ruo Hong is Ruo Luchen's uncle. He is a generation older than Ruo Luchen. He thought he would be the suzerain, but when his elder brother passed away, he actually left the position of suzerain to the fledgling Ruo Lu Chen and Ju Hong were naturally very unwilling.
Over the years, Luo Hong has used the name of Ruo Luchen to bluff outside, because he is the uncle of Ruo Luchen and the younger brother of the previous patriarch of the Ruo family, so he has seen the family emblem of the Ruo family and knows what is on the big seal Marking, forging a big seal, is no problem at all. In the name of Lu Chen, I don't know how many bribes I have received.
The king of Chu suddenly started to take care of this matter. Luo Hong was actually very nervous. Lu Chen was put into prison. Luo Hong felt that he would definitely defend himself. Can't get rid of it.
So Luo Hong thought about it, just do nothing and keep going, and if he succeeds, he can push Wu Jiu off the throne of King Chu and support a puppet in the throne, then they will also overthrow the Dou family together.
Luo Hong thought very well, that's why he came here to incite people from the Luo family.
The people from the Luo family looked at Luo Hong and said, "What do you think should be done?"
Luo Hong smiled coldly, and said: "What should we do? Of course... Qing Jun is on the sidelines! Dou Qi's demonic words confuse the public, Dou Qi is not dead, our country of Chu is in trouble, the king is bewitched by Dou Qi, how can the people of our Luo family sit idly by?" Ignore it, you must take care of it!"
When he said this, many people became agitated. In fact, it was not for the side of the Qing emperor, nor for loyalty, but because the conflict between the Dou family and the Luo family began very early. Such conflicts evolved into feuds, just like Shu China, like Pakistan, is becoming more and more difficult to resolve.
Now when they heard that Dou Qi was going to be pushed down from the stage, everyone immediately responded.
Someone said hesitantly: "It's just... Dou Qi has too much power, and the king loves him a lot, how can we push him down?"
Hong Hong smiled and said, "Don't you remember how you, General Fist, persuaded the late king back then?"
Remonstrance...
All the people were clamoring for a while. Back then, General Fuquan used military remonstrance to persuade the King of Chu. The King of Chu was forced to listen to his opinion.
Fengquan was loyal, and the matter of breaking his leg and remonstrating became a good story. Because the king of Chu thanked him for his persuasion and loyalty, he did not dislike General Fendquan because of his disability, but entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
Moreover, General Fuquan has also been admired by the people of Chu State.
At this time, Ju Hong proposed the name of General Fuquan, not because he wanted to break his leg, but because he wanted to persuade him.
Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, admonishing, this is not something everyone can do, if one is careless, it will be an abyss, and you will never be able to turn over.
Someone seemed to be afraid and said: "This... this matter, I am afraid it will be very difficult. The King of Chu has been on the throne for some time, and Yin Huanlie in the palace has become Lu Yangchuang's confidant. Wu Dao's swordsman is said to be superb in martial arts, with so many soldiers and so many masters, how can he... be able to persuade him?"
That person didn't seem to dare to say the word "remonstrance".
On the other hand, Luo Hong had already thought about it, and he looked at ease and was not afraid of his ears, and said: "Everyone, we can invite the king to go out of the palace. When the king comes back from disaster relief, he should sacrifice to the sky to thank God. Why don't we take advantage of it?" Take this opportunity to carry out military remonstrance!"
Only then did everyone think of military remonstrance, but after the word military remonstrance was uttered, everyone was shocked. After all, the hearing was too shocking. It sounded like military remonstrance, but maybe it was...rebellion!
Everyone looked at each other, and Luo Hong immediately said: "Now my Luo family is in danger, Wang Shangming is getting closer to Dou Qi, my family is loyal, but there is no way to go, it is better to make a big deal and take a fight, it is better than looking at people." The face, the one who lives in idyllic ways, is finally wiped out by others!"
Everyone listened, seemed a little shaken, and said, "It's just... how will the army get out?"
Luo Hong smiled and said: "Lu Chen is in prison, why don't we take advantage of him in prison and mobilize the troops of the Luo family? Although our soldiers and horses of the Luo family are not as strong as Ruo Ao's six soldiers, but the sacrifice to heaven At that time, there were no soldiers to guard them, and all soldiers had to listen to orders outside the venue. When the time comes, we will..."
When he said this, he didn't go on. When everyone heard it, they felt that there was something to be said.
Wu Jiu made trouble until midnight yesterday, and couldn't get up in the morning, but today he was going to the morning court, Wu Jiao was completely self-inflicted, he was so dazed that he couldn't open his eyes.
Qi Hou was refreshed, after holding it in for so long, Wu Jiao brought it to his mouth again, isn't he refreshed?
Qi Hou woke up early, squeezed Wu Jiu's cheek, and said with a smile: "Little slacker, wake up, it's time to go to court."
Wu Jiu couldn't open his eyes, so he shook his head. Qihou pinched his cheek and then his nose. Wu Jiu grabbed him carelessly, and just happened to be by Ziqing's side, and brought the imperial robe. Qing gave her a hug.
Ziqing let out an "Ah", startled, and threw herself on the couch, trying to support himself so as not to overwhelm Wu Jiao, who thought he was hugging Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiao was sleepy-eyed, and kissed Ziqing on the cheek "What!", Ziqing was stunned, his face flushed instantly, Qi Hou was also blinded, and then he was very angry for a moment.
Wu Jiu didn't know that he was holding Ziqing in his arms, and he was still reminiscing about the sweet dream of last night. He dreamed that he had done Qihou, and Qihou turned into soft fingers, crying and begging the king of Chu to be gentle. This dream is really too magical So Wu Jiu was still immersed in it, unable to extricate himself for a long time, and at this moment he was still mumbling, saying: "Little beauty, let the widow sleep for a while..."
Qi Houqi was about to smoke from the top of his head, so he quickly pushed Wu Jiu's hand away, let Ziqing stand up, and pinched Wu Jiu's nose, Wu Jiao was still dreaming, but he was woken up by suffocation, feeling that he couldn't breathe Carefree, forced to open his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qihou's gloomy face. Wu Jiu didn't know what he had done, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Huh? It's morning... What's wrong with your face, it's so dark?"
Qi Hou was furious, and said: "I still ask Gu what's wrong, second brother, tell yourself, what good things have you done?"
Wu Jiu knew it all, with a confused look on his face, Ziqing was afraid of getting burned, so he quickly left the court robe and ran out.
Wu Jiao was almost late because Marquis Qi bullied the "handicapped" and couldn't run away due to Wu Jiu's bad legs, so he pushed Wu Jiu aside. When he woke up early in the morning, Wu Jiu's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red, looking pitiful of.
Qi Hou hurriedly dressed him, and he was almost late for the court.
Because of Wu Jiu's bad legs, Marquis Qi found an opportunity to go to court. He pushed Wu Jiu's wheelchair from the small bedroom to the road bedroom. The courtiers were ready and all lined up in the main hall of the road bedroom.
Everyone saw Wu Jiu sitting in a wheelchair, they had actually seen it yesterday, they heard that he was injured during emergency rescue, so they hurriedly bowed down to pay respects.
Qihou took advantage of the time when everyone was saluting, picked up Wu Jiu, let him sit on the mat, then pushed the wheelchair aside, and sat next to him, that seat was naturally for the female lead of the state of Chu, Qihou Sitting down, Shi Shiran is very "stylish".
Wu Jiao glared at him, but Qi Hou didn't leave, he just sat on the table and said, "Second brother will come down in a while, and Gu will see you off."
Wu Jiu couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the officials were all concerned about Wu Jiu's condition, so they didn't pay attention to Marquis Qi.
The officials concerned about Wu Jiu's situation, and Luo Hong stood on the hall, gave the Luo family a few winks, then stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Hong thinks that the disaster is under control now because Heaven is merciful, your majesty should go to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to heaven, to honor God."
As soon as he said this, the family members of the family who had negotiated with each other immediately stood up, and they all agreed, saying: "Yes, yes, God has mercy."
Wu Jiu smiled, looked at the Luo family members, but didn't speak immediately.
Unexpectedly, Peng Zhongshuang stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the flood has just passed, and there are still many refugees who are displaced and have no food to eat. Zhong Shuang thought that the money for sacrifices is too much, so it is better to postpone it. Now use these money. Into the relief of refugees."
When he said this, Luo Hong immediately said: "Master Peng, as Le Yin, you are an official of the sacrificial ceremony, but you disrespect the heavens. If the gods blame you, can you bear it?!"
Peng Zhongshuang said: "Zhong Shuang respects God, and God naturally knows that the refugees are now displaced, how many wives are scattered, died of starvation, sickness, sacrifices are grand, and a lot of money needs to be spent. It is better to invest these funds in relief first, and wait for the refugee relief. Afterwards, it’s not too late to perform sacrifices.”
Luo Hong wanted to lure Wu Jiu out of the palace. If there was no sacrifice, then Wu Jiu would not be able to leave the palace. The army of the Ruo family would not be able to compare with Ruo Ao's six soldiers, and it would be impossible to kill all of them in the palace and come to the Qing emperor's side, so Wu Jiu was sure. You have to leave the palace.
Luo Hong said anxiously: "Doctor Peng, what you said is not what a Le Yin should say."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said to Wu Jiu, "Your Majesty, Le Yin disrespected the heavens, and should be investigated and prosecuted by him. Please learn from me!"
When he said this, many people from the Luo family stood up and said in unison: "Doctor Peng is disrespectful to heaven, he should be dismissed!"
Dou Qi squinted his eyes, and felt that when Lu Chen was imprisoned, the people of the Luo family seemed to be going crazy. What Peng Zhongshuang said was indeed reasonable. Every sacrifice would cost a lot of money and material resources. It is better to give relief and subsidize the people first.
Before Dou Qi could speak, Wu Jiu had already smiled and said, "You're right, I also think that Peng Zhongshuang shouldn't be this Le Yin."
When he said this, Peng Zhongshuang was quite calm, but Pan Chong was taken aback. He was about to stand up to speak, but Peng Zhongshuang held him down and shook his head at him. Pan Chong was very anxious.
Luo Hong and his party were really happy, and they responded immediately, but Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Peng Zhongshuang is such a great talent, I also think that he should not be a Le Yin, just in time, you have mentioned this issue, Luo Hong. Sacrifice is good, but it needs a presiding person, and the widow also thinks that Peng Zhongshuang is suitable..."
He said, under the dumbfounded eyes of Ruo Hong and the Ruo family, he said loudly, "Peng Zhongshuang listens to the order!"
Peng Zhongshuang quickly stood up, knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Zhongshuang is here."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "I have appointed you as Zhunling Yin to preside over the sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs, Peng Zhongshuang, don't let me down."
As soon as he said this, all the people in the Luo family went crazy, looking at me and looking at you, of course they didn't mean that, what they meant was to dismiss Peng Zhongshuang and send him to prison, not to dismiss Peng Zhongshuang and give him a promotion.
Pan Chong was also dumbfounded, he agreed to be Le Yin, why did he suddenly change to Ling Yin, although what Wu Jiao said was accurate, that is to say, it was not official, but it was Ling Yin!
Ling Yin of Chu State, Dou Bobi did it back then, Dou Qi did it, and the deceased Baoshen did it too.As for Peng Zhongshuang, a young bookworm who only knew how to offend others, the King of Chu even made him the Prime Minister of Chu State.
Everyone was dumbfounded, Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Peng Zhongshuang, what do you think?"
Peng Zhongshuang knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Zhong Shuang thinks... Zhong Shuang deserves it all."
When he said that, everyone was even more upset, and Wu Jiao laughed, very happy and hearty, and said: "Well said, the matter of worshiping the heavens in the southern suburbs is left to you. Is there anything else to report?"
Luo Hong originally wanted to pull Peng Zhongshuang down, but he didn't know that although Peng Zhongshuang fell off Le Yin's horse, he changed into a taller horse and became Ling Yin!
Luo Hong and the members of the Luo family were afraid to speak for a moment, fearing that Wu Jiu would make use of the topic again, so they kept their mouths shut and said nothing. Although they did not speak, they were even more angry in their hearts, thinking that Ling Yin should belong to their Luo family The people of Chu are better now. The king of Chu uses Dou Qi more, and Le Yin is from the Peng family, that is, from Shen Guo in the past. He has nothing to do with the old Chu people of the Luo family. It is determined to want to remonstrate.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Since there is nothing to do, let's dismiss the court and order Yin to come with the widow."
Everyone hurriedly kowtowed, and then walked out of the bedroom. Qi Hou picked up Wu Jiu, put him on the wheelchair, and pushed Wu Jiu back to the small bedroom.
Peng Zhongshuang walked from the outside to the small bedroom. Because of the long distance, he took some time, but soon came over, bowed to the ground and said: "Thank you, my king, for your kindness!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Peng Qing, do you think that this Ling Yin is a good one? You have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility when you take office. If you fail to complete the task, you will not be able to sit in this position. "
Peng Zhongshuang didn't have much expression on his face, he was still very calm, and said: "Zhong Shuang was born to share the worries of the king, please give orders from the king."
Wu Jiu was very satisfied with Peng Zhongshuang's attitude, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's about offering sacrifices to heaven..."
It had been more than an hour since Peng Zhongshuang came out of the bedroom, and it was already time for lunch. Peng Zhongshuang entered the room where the scholar-bureaucrats had their meals and rest. Immediately, a bunch of people came to fawn on him. Congratulations to Peng Zhongshuang on his appointment as a new official Yin Gaowei.
Don't look at the meal time, but the cooks specially left a lot of good dishes for Peng Zhongshuang. Peng Zhongshuang was surrounded by people and sat down to eat, but he was so cold and hard that the scholars and bureaucrats were devastated , kicked the steel plate, and soon fell apart.
When the literati and bureaucrats dispersed, "Bang!", one person took a picture of the case and sat next to Peng Zhongshuang.
Peng Zhongshuang ate slowly, and looked up, it was Pan Chong.
Pan Chong changed his official robe, don't look at him going to court today, it is actually time for him to take a bath, but after Pan Chong went down to court, he did not leave immediately, but stayed in the palace.
Pan Chong said, "Congratulations, Master Ling Yin."
Peng Zhongshuang looked at him and said, "Da Sima, I don't really congratulate you, there is a sour taste in my words."
Pan Chong said, "Sour smell? What kind of sour smell?"
Peng Zhongshuang gave a rare smile, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "Elder Sima must have felt that Zhong Shuang has always been lower than you, but now that he is suddenly higher, I feel uncomfortable."
Pan Chong said: "Hey, don't be shameless, who doesn't like it? I am the great Sima, in charge of the military power in the world, and you are just a submissive Yin."
Seeing that he still didn't admit it, Peng Zhongshuang laughed and said, "Lord Sima, my king happens to have something to do, so I asked Zhong Shuang to discuss it with you. I wonder if you'll have the time."
Pan Chong said, "Today I will take a rest."
Peng Zhongshuang said: "It's nothing, it's okay to go to your house."
Pan Chong had no choice but to bring Peng Zhongshuang back to the mansion, but he didn't expect Peng Zhongshuang to be so shameless that he "used power for personal gain", which made Pan Chong's back ache before he started talking about serious things.
The matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens in the southern suburbs has already been put on the agenda. The person in charge of the sacrifices is Le Yin in the past and Peng Zhongshuang, the Ling Yin today. How grand.
The matter of offering sacrifices to heaven had already been arranged, and officials at all levels were busy. Wu Jiu was actually very busy in the palace these days, not busy with all kinds of annoying business, but busy with healing his legs.
Wu Jiu injured his back. The position of the back can be big or small. Some people hurt their cervical spine and are paralyzed for the rest of their lives. Wu Jiu is lucky, it’s not serious, but his body is weak and he doesn’t recover very quickly. Still can't walk on my own.
Wu Jiao was a little anxious, after all, he was about to sacrifice to heaven, if his legs didn't recover, then there would definitely be many people looking for Wu Jiao's troubles, so Wu Jiao was more anxious.
Although taking decoction can also recover, but the recovery is relatively stable and a bit slow. Wu Jiu wanted to go faster. Tang Wu suggested that nine acupuncture can be given. The effect of nine acupuncture is good. It can be combined with decoction to open up the acupoints. In fact, it is acupuncture. .
Tang Wu said, "It's just a little pain."
When Qi Hou heard that Wu Jiu wanted to give nine injections, he repeatedly asked Tang Wu if there were any disadvantages. Tang Wu said: "There are no disadvantages, but some people react more, some react less, and some people feel pain." It’s unbearable, and some people feel no pain at all, but the more painful it is, the more effective it is.”
Medical treatment in this era is still underdeveloped, and even veteran medical officials don't know much about nine needles, so Marquis Qi didn't have much contact with it. Wu Jiu thinks it's feasible, after all, acupuncture is quite popular in modern times.
Wu Jiao was going to ask Tang Wu to give him nine needles, Tang Wu went to prepare, there were still five or six days before the sacrifice to heaven, and it happened to be five or six days in a row.
It only needs to be pierced for less than half an hour every day, pay attention to keep warm, don't catch cold, don't eat stimulating food, etc., there is nothing to pay attention to.
It just so happens that Wu Jiao is the one who is more sensitive to the pain of acupuncture. Tang Wu received the acupuncture on the first day, and he felt fine and tolerable, but on the third day, the painful Wu Jiao felt his whole muscle twitching. The technique was quite accurate, there was no bleeding at all, all of them were stuck on the acupuncture points, and Wu Jiu broke out in cold sweat due to the pain.
Seeing that Wu Jiao was sweating in pain, Qihou hurriedly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "Second Brother, does it hurt so much? Let Tang Wu take the needle."
Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Don't get up, don't get up, don't give up halfway, it hurts a little bit, I can bear it, besides, pain doesn't work, it's good to have feeling in the leg, it's better than no pain .”
Although Qihou knew that it was a good thing to feel pain, Wu Jiao's face was covered with sweat and his clothes were soaked in pain. After half an hour, his lips were bitten.
After Tang Wu took the needle, he wiped the eye of the needle lightly with a hot handkerchief, and there was no trace of blood, and all of them were stuck in the right place, but Wu Jiu's skin was fair, with little red dots on it, which were very obvious.
Qihou hurriedly put his arms around Wu Jiao, helped him look, and pinched Wu Jiao's leg, not to mention, although the pain was unbearable, but the effect is getting better and better, Wu Jiao's leg can already bend by itself , just standing or not standing up.
Seeing how hard he was working so hard, Qihou bowed his head and kissed Wu Jiu's lips, saying, "Second Brother, Gudu's heart aches."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "If the widows can't afford to suffer, then how can we make those restless people look good when offering sacrifices to heaven?"
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother is already pretty enough."
Wu Jiu couldn't hold back, and gave Qihou a blank look, but Qihou said sincerely: "Second brother, Gu is speaking the truth."
Wu Jiu only felt that his love words became more and more fluent, and they were particularly nasty.
Qihou helped him knead his legs, move his meridians, and said with a smile: "Second brother, get better soon, you look like this, I haven't eaten decent food for a few days, look, Gudu Qing reduced."
As Qihou said, he insisted on holding Wu Jiu's hand, stroking his abdomen, feeling a hard muscle in his hand, but Wu Jiu couldn't see where he had lost weight, and he still looked so tall. I didn't eat less, but said while eating that it was not as delicious as the second brother's cooking.
Wu Jiao thought for a while, Qi Hou accompanied him to the disaster-stricken places where he endured hardships, and indeed he hadn't eaten his own food for a long time, and Qi Hou helped a lot during this trip, so Wu Jiao smiled and said : "When the widow's leg is healed, I'll cook something delicious for you."
When Qihou heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Second brother, what's delicious?"
Wu Jiu said, "Anyway, you haven't eaten it, and it's delicious."
Qi Hou was scratched by his claws, his eyes were shining like Dabai, his eyes were blue, and he pestered Wu Jiao to ask what was delicious.
Wu Jiu originally planned to show off, but Qi Hou couldn't hold back Qi Hou kept asking, he was pestering him like a big dog, Wu Jiu said helplessly, "Fruit wood roast duck."
Qi Hou didn't understand, but said: "Fruit wood roast duck? Although I don't know what it is, it sounds delicious. Second brother's craftsmanship must be right."
In the next few days, Wu Jiu also got nine needles every day, and soon it was the day of the sacrifice. People in the Zhou Dynasty would sacrifice from morning to noon. Although it is Spring and Autumn, the tradition of Zhou people is still followed. The day's team set off in a mighty way.
Wu Jiu still couldn't get up in the morning, he lay on the couch, wrapped in a quilt, tired in spring and autumn, and now it was just autumn, Wu Jiu didn't like to get up even more, he insisted that the quilt was dragging him, so Ziqing and Tang Wu couldn't see the trouble, all together Hou felt helpless for a while.
In the end, Wu Jiu didn't get up either, and it was Marquis Qi who carried Wu Jiu into the chariot with the quilt rolled up. Naturally, ordinary literati and bureaucrats couldn't see Wu Jiu's appearance, but it was like Ling Yin, Peng Zhongshuang, Da Sima Pan Chong, and others. Mo Ao, Douqi, etc., all saw it.
Dou Qi worriedly asked the king if he was sick, but in fact the king just had a disease that he didn't want to get out of bed, and Wu Jiao swore that it was the quilt who did it first.
Wu Jiu was in a daze, and finally woke up in the black car, opened his eyes with a confused look on his face, looked at the roof of the car for a long time, then sat up in surprise, and said: "What's going on? What time is it? !"
Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu quietly, and said with a smile, "You little slob, do you still know? You're going to the altar soon."
Wu Jiu was taken aback. He opened the curtain of the car and saw that it was already in the suburbs. He was so frightened that he hurriedly arranged his clothes. Wu Jiu was carried out by Qihou lying in the quilt, so naturally he was not wearing court robes. Tang Wu waited on him, and everyone was in a hurry to dress Wu Jiu neatly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the black car came to a stop slowly, Wu Jiu had already changed into a well-dressed appearance, as noble as a black swan.
Qihou got out of the car first, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he carried Wu Jiu out of the car, put him on the wheelchair, and slowly pushed him into the altar.
Da Sima's team was very majestic, with neat soldiers lined up on both sides, respectfully welcoming the King of Chu, and the team went all the way to the main hall of the altar.
Marquis Qi pushed Wu Jiu forward slowly, and the scholar-bureaucrats lined up on both sides knelt down and kowtowed one after another. From the lower-ranked ones, all the way in, the closer to the hall of sacrifice, the higher the ranks.
Until the gate of the sacrificial hall, the guard team stopped here, and the ordinary scholar-bureaucrats also stopped here. They had no right to enter the majestic sacrificial hall. The senior officials followed Wu Jiu and walked into the magnificent hall.
As Wu Jiu entered the main hall, the scholar bureaucrats stood up one after another, and Peng Zhongshuang, who was the host of the sacrifice, also entered the main hall to ask Wu Jiu if he could start.
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Let's begin."
Peng Zhongshuang looked at the time and saw that the time for offering sacrifices to heaven would soon come, so he said loudly, "I respectfully invite my king to step on the altar!"
As he said this, there was the sound of music playing next to him, Qihou pushed Wu Jiu, and was about to walk up to the altar, but at this moment, he suddenly heard "Wait a minute!"
Everyone was a little surprised, and they all followed the voice and looked at the speaker. You must know that offering sacrifices to the heavens is a solemn event, an extremely serious and grand event. There is nothing more solemn than offering sacrifices to the heavens in a country, even if the new king ascends the throne. cannot.
However, at this moment, when the time for offering sacrifices to the sky was just right, someone suddenly made trouble and dared to say "wait a minute", if the time was missed, it would be a serious crime of losing one's head.
Everyone looked over and saw a commotion in the crowd, and then a man wearing a scholar-official robe came out, it turned out to be Luo Hong from the Luo family.
When Luo Hong came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why he was slow to shout, after all, the sacrifice to the heaven was recommended by Luo Hong, but now he called to stop the sacrifice to the heaven.
Wu Jiu turned his head, looked at Luo Hong, squinted his eyes, and said, "Doctor Luo bothering Jitian, what does that mean?"
Luo Hong immediately said: "Luo Hong didn't mean to be disrespectful to God, but because Luo Hong respected God too much, that's why he called to stop."
Wu Jiu laughed, and said, "Oh? Is Doctor Ru still right?"
However, Luo Hong ignored Wu Jiu and walked forward suddenly, stepping up the steps of the altar.
The crowd immediately let out a gasp of "Ho!!", which was disrespectful. The king of Chu State had not yet set foot on the altar, nor had the priests set foot on the altar. , and stepped onto the altar.
Everyone's eyes widened in fright, looking at the crazy Luo Hong.
Dou Qi said coldly: "Jian Hong! What are you doing? Are you going to rebel!?"
Luo Hong laughed, he didn't listen to dissuasion, walked up the altar step by step, reached the top, and then waved his hand, the crowd gasped again, and many black people poured out from all around the hall. Armored soldiers came. Although those soldiers were wearing black armour, they were not the Chu army, but the autonomous army of the Ru family.
The Luo family's army quickly surrounded the entire hall, "Boom!!!" There was a loud noise, and the door of the hall was directly closed. Two teams of black armor quickly surrounded from both sides, and all the courtiers were imprisoned at once. In the hall.
Everyone opened their eyes wide in fright and said, "Jian Hong! You are rebelling!"
Luo Hong stood condescendingly on the altar and said with a smile, "No, this is not a rebellion. Luo Hong is just following the will of God. Take a look, what has our King of Chu done for us Chu people?"
After Luo Hong said this, Dou Qi immediately shouted: "Luo Hong! Presumptuous!"
But Luo Hong ignored him, looked down at Wu Jiu contemptuously, as if looking down at a lowly ant, and said with a smile: "The current king of Chu has no heirs, but he has adopted a wild species from nowhere to be his prince. This is disrespect! Disrespect! One of the crimes!"
He paused, looking at Wu Jiu's calm eyes, Luo Hong was suddenly very angry, and continued impassionedly: "The second thing is to fight endlessly and tyrannically! Since the king of Chu came to the throne, there have been constant battles, big and small, which made me The people of Chu State were displaced and complained, and it was obvious that he was a tyrant!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"tyrant!"
"Tyrant! There is no pardon!"
The people of the Luo family had already discussed it. Now that they saw the army of the Luo family surrounding the main hall, the ministers looked frightened, so they naturally wanted to cater to Luo Hong and shouted immediately.
Wu Jiu's expression was still calm, and he said, "Go on, Doctor Ruo, I guess the widow's crimes are not limited to these two?"
Seeing that he was so "arrogant", Luo Hong immediately said: "Appointing traitors and framing Zhongliang, this is the third! Since the king of Chu came to power, he has suppressed talents and appointed mobs. Looking at my entire court of Chu, it is already filthy. Look at it. Today's Da Sima is born lowly and humble; today's Ling Yin is the remnant of Shen Guo, and his heart can be punished; today's Mo Ao is even forming a clique for personal gain, trying to use fighters to control the government! And the King of Chu is indiscriminate, so credulous Villain, it’s really chilling to abandon me and other loyal ministers!!”
After Luo Hong finished speaking, the people of the Luo family responded immediately, saying, "Yes! I feel disappointed!"
"That's right! Kill Dou Qi!"
"Kill Dou Qi, Lord Qing!"
"Everyone in the Dou Family deserves to die! Kill Dou Qi! And that Peng Zhongshuang, what ability is there, why should he be Ling Yin!"
Dou Qi looked around, his eyes bloodshot with anger, but in comparison, Peng Zhongshuang was much calmer, still facing his paralyzed face, he seemed to have no reaction.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Is there anything else? Let's talk about it in one breath."
Luo Hong immediately said: "Of course! There is also the fourth and most important point of the crime. The current king of our Chu country is actually a paralyzed man with a disability! If this matter spreads, the princes will definitely accuse us of Chu. Giving pointers is simply embarrassing our country of Chu and our scholar-bureaucrats!! Such a paralyzed person is not worthy to be the king of our country of Chu!"
Dou Qi said in a cold voice: "Luo Hong! Don't forget how your majesty was injured. Your majesty was sympathetic to the victims and went to the disaster area to check it out. That's why he was seriously injured. However, you are overgeneralizing and confusing the public. What is your intention! ?”
However, Luo Hong ignored Dou Qi, and just attacked Wu Jiu as a cripple.
At this time Wu Jiu suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter was very clear and clear, and amidst the chaotic crowd and noisy noise, it was exceptionally clear and pleasant.
Wu Jiu laughed, and Ju Hong shouted: "Tyrant! You are dying, how can you still laugh..."
He was talking, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly choked up his throat, because everyone saw that the king of Chu, who was dressed in a black court robe and was as noble as a black swan, suddenly put his hands on the wheelchair, With a light push, he stood up lightly.
Wu Jiu stood up from the wheelchair
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay again, Lu Hong gave a sinister smile, and said, "What Lu Chen did was for himself, and he didn't think about our family at all. Think about it, everyone, clean and honest! Yes, Lu Chen is a An upright official, however, he is only innocent. Has he ever thought about the future of my Luo family? He has offended so many important officials in the court. Lu Chen's own selfish desires let us other Luo family members look at the faces of others and be punished everywhere. It's embarrassing, is this what the suzerain of the Luo family should do?"
When he said this, many people in the Luo family began to sympathize. Lu Chen is a bookworm. Although he is tall, he is very brainy. He never considers how many people he has offended. I'm dealing with corrupt officials, so it's hard to avoid offending people. Lu Chen is never afraid of this, but the people of the Luo family are different. Many people are offended by Lu Chen, so they look for opportunities to embarrass other members of the Luo family , the people of the Luo family have suffered a lot. At first, they resented each other and felt that they were very hateful.
But people's thinking always has a certain slavishness. From resenting the other party's greed and hatred, they gradually began to complain about Lu Chen. If their suzerain turned a blind eye, it would not be like this. As an official, there are some frictions to some extent, just muddle along.
Now that Ruo Hong said that, he just hit everyone's slavishness, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Luo Hong said again: "Think about it again, after Lu Chen came to power, what did he do to my family? A dog of the Dou family?! My family and the Dou family are inseparable. Doesn't Lu Chen know that? But he abandoned the dignity of my Ruo family and flattered Dou Qi in everything, as if the Dou family was superior and my Ruo family should serve them tea and water. I have to pick it up!"
As soon as he said this, others immediately said: "Yes, yes, it was the same last time. It was obvious that our Luo family made great contributions in attacking Yongguo Fangcheng, but in the end all the credit was taken away by Dou Qi, and Lu Chen let us Don't try to grab credit, this stubborn Lu Chen is not worthy to be our suzerain!"
"That's right! He doesn't deserve it!"
"It doesn't consider the interests of our family at all!"
"That's right, he, Lu Chen, only thinks about himself!"
Seeing that the wind direction of the crowd was one-sided, Luo Hong smiled sinisterly, raised his hand, and signaled for everyone not to be confused, and said: "Everyone, everyone! Everyone in my family, please don't be confused! Listen to what I say to Hong Hong !"
Everyone slowly calmed down, and all looked at Luo Hong, who said: "Now, the current situation, I think you can see clearly, Lu Chen is in prison, and my family is facing a serious injury that has never been seen in eternity. The authorities framed my family indiscriminately, there must be someone who made a hindrance, you say, who is it!?"
When he said this, the people of the Luo family immediately responded, "Who else can it be, a member of the Dou family!"
"That's right, Doujia people!"
"That's right, it's from the Dou Family, it must be Dou Qi!"
Luo Hong said: "That's right, there are treacherous ministers like Dou Qi by the king's side, and my Luo family has an indisputable suzerain like Luo Luchen. My Luo family is now in danger! My country of Chu is also in danger now." Everyone from the Luo family is a good man from our country of Chu, the King of Chu is bewitched by Dou Qi, how can we sit idly by?!"
What Luo Hong said was impassioned, as if he was a loyal minister, but others didn't know, in fact, Luo Hong was going to jump the wall in a hurry. Now that Luo Luchen was in prison, and Wu Jiu asked Cao Xiao to confront him, Luo Hong was the one who was really corrupt.
Speaking of which, Ruo Hong is Ruo Luchen's uncle. He is a generation older than Ruo Luchen. He thought he would be the suzerain, but when his elder brother passed away, he actually left the position of suzerain to the fledgling Ruo Lu Chen and Ju Hong were naturally very unwilling.
Over the years, Luo Hong has used the name of Ruo Luchen to bluff outside, because he is the uncle of Ruo Luchen and the younger brother of the previous patriarch of the Ruo family, so he has seen the family emblem of the Ruo family and knows what is on the big seal Marking, forging a big seal, is no problem at all. In the name of Lu Chen, I don't know how many bribes I have received.
The king of Chu suddenly started to take care of this matter. Luo Hong was actually very nervous. Lu Chen was put into prison. Luo Hong felt that he would definitely defend himself. Can't get rid of it.
So Luo Hong thought about it, just do nothing and keep going, and if he succeeds, he can push Wu Jiu off the throne of King Chu and support a puppet in the throne, then they will also overthrow the Dou family together.
Luo Hong thought very well, that's why he came here to incite people from the Luo family.
The people from the Luo family looked at Luo Hong and said, "What do you think should be done?"
Luo Hong smiled coldly, and said: "What should we do? Of course... Qing Jun is on the sidelines! Dou Qi's demonic words confuse the public, Dou Qi is not dead, our country of Chu is in trouble, the king is bewitched by Dou Qi, how can the people of our Luo family sit idly by?" Ignore it, you must take care of it!"
When he said this, many people became agitated. In fact, it was not for the side of the Qing emperor, nor for loyalty, but because the conflict between the Dou family and the Luo family began very early. Such conflicts evolved into feuds, just like Shu China, like Pakistan, is becoming more and more difficult to resolve.
Now when they heard that Dou Qi was going to be pushed down from the stage, everyone immediately responded.
Someone said hesitantly: "It's just... Dou Qi has too much power, and the king loves him a lot, how can we push him down?"
Hong Hong smiled and said, "Don't you remember how you, General Fist, persuaded the late king back then?"
Remonstrance...
All the people were clamoring for a while. Back then, General Fuquan used military remonstrance to persuade the King of Chu. The King of Chu was forced to listen to his opinion.
Fengquan was loyal, and the matter of breaking his leg and remonstrating became a good story. Because the king of Chu thanked him for his persuasion and loyalty, he did not dislike General Fendquan because of his disability, but entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
Moreover, General Fuquan has also been admired by the people of Chu State.
At this time, Ju Hong proposed the name of General Fuquan, not because he wanted to break his leg, but because he wanted to persuade him.
Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, admonishing, this is not something everyone can do, if one is careless, it will be an abyss, and you will never be able to turn over.
Someone seemed to be afraid and said: "This... this matter, I am afraid it will be very difficult. The King of Chu has been on the throne for some time, and Yin Huanlie in the palace has become Lu Yangchuang's confidant. Wu Dao's swordsman is said to be superb in martial arts, with so many soldiers and so many masters, how can he... be able to persuade him?"
That person didn't seem to dare to say the word "remonstrance".
On the other hand, Luo Hong had already thought about it, and he looked at ease and was not afraid of his ears, and said: "Everyone, we can invite the king to go out of the palace. When the king comes back from disaster relief, he should sacrifice to the sky to thank God. Why don't we take advantage of it?" Take this opportunity to carry out military remonstrance!"
Only then did everyone think of military remonstrance, but after the word military remonstrance was uttered, everyone was shocked. After all, the hearing was too shocking. It sounded like military remonstrance, but maybe it was...rebellion!
Everyone looked at each other, and Luo Hong immediately said: "Now my Luo family is in danger, Wang Shangming is getting closer to Dou Qi, my family is loyal, but there is no way to go, it is better to make a big deal and take a fight, it is better than looking at people." The face, the one who lives in idyllic ways, is finally wiped out by others!"
Everyone listened, seemed a little shaken, and said, "It's just... how will the army get out?"
Luo Hong smiled and said: "Lu Chen is in prison, why don't we take advantage of him in prison and mobilize the troops of the Luo family? Although our soldiers and horses of the Luo family are not as strong as Ruo Ao's six soldiers, but the sacrifice to heaven At that time, there were no soldiers to guard them, and all soldiers had to listen to orders outside the venue. When the time comes, we will..."
When he said this, he didn't go on. When everyone heard it, they felt that there was something to be said.
Wu Jiu made trouble until midnight yesterday, and couldn't get up in the morning, but today he was going to the morning court, Wu Jiao was completely self-inflicted, he was so dazed that he couldn't open his eyes.
Qi Hou was refreshed, after holding it in for so long, Wu Jiao brought it to his mouth again, isn't he refreshed?
Qi Hou woke up early, squeezed Wu Jiu's cheek, and said with a smile: "Little slacker, wake up, it's time to go to court."
Wu Jiu couldn't open his eyes, so he shook his head. Qihou pinched his cheek and then his nose. Wu Jiu grabbed him carelessly, and just happened to be by Ziqing's side, and brought the imperial robe. Qing gave her a hug.
Ziqing let out an "Ah", startled, and threw herself on the couch, trying to support himself so as not to overwhelm Wu Jiao, who thought he was hugging Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiao was sleepy-eyed, and kissed Ziqing on the cheek "What!", Ziqing was stunned, his face flushed instantly, Qi Hou was also blinded, and then he was very angry for a moment.
Wu Jiu didn't know that he was holding Ziqing in his arms, and he was still reminiscing about the sweet dream of last night. He dreamed that he had done Qihou, and Qihou turned into soft fingers, crying and begging the king of Chu to be gentle. This dream is really too magical So Wu Jiu was still immersed in it, unable to extricate himself for a long time, and at this moment he was still mumbling, saying: "Little beauty, let the widow sleep for a while..."
Qi Houqi was about to smoke from the top of his head, so he quickly pushed Wu Jiu's hand away, let Ziqing stand up, and pinched Wu Jiu's nose, Wu Jiao was still dreaming, but he was woken up by suffocation, feeling that he couldn't breathe Carefree, forced to open his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qihou's gloomy face. Wu Jiu didn't know what he had done, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Huh? It's morning... What's wrong with your face, it's so dark?"
Qi Hou was furious, and said: "I still ask Gu what's wrong, second brother, tell yourself, what good things have you done?"
Wu Jiu knew it all, with a confused look on his face, Ziqing was afraid of getting burned, so he quickly left the court robe and ran out.
Wu Jiao was almost late because Marquis Qi bullied the "handicapped" and couldn't run away due to Wu Jiu's bad legs, so he pushed Wu Jiu aside. When he woke up early in the morning, Wu Jiu's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red, looking pitiful of.
Qi Hou hurriedly dressed him, and he was almost late for the court.
Because of Wu Jiu's bad legs, Marquis Qi found an opportunity to go to court. He pushed Wu Jiu's wheelchair from the small bedroom to the road bedroom. The courtiers were ready and all lined up in the main hall of the road bedroom.
Everyone saw Wu Jiu sitting in a wheelchair, they had actually seen it yesterday, they heard that he was injured during emergency rescue, so they hurriedly bowed down to pay respects.
Qihou took advantage of the time when everyone was saluting, picked up Wu Jiu, let him sit on the mat, then pushed the wheelchair aside, and sat next to him, that seat was naturally for the female lead of the state of Chu, Qihou Sitting down, Shi Shiran is very "stylish".
Wu Jiao glared at him, but Qi Hou didn't leave, he just sat on the table and said, "Second brother will come down in a while, and Gu will see you off."
Wu Jiu couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the officials were all concerned about Wu Jiu's condition, so they didn't pay attention to Marquis Qi.
The officials concerned about Wu Jiu's situation, and Luo Hong stood on the hall, gave the Luo family a few winks, then stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Hong thinks that the disaster is under control now because Heaven is merciful, your majesty should go to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to heaven, to honor God."
As soon as he said this, the family members of the family who had negotiated with each other immediately stood up, and they all agreed, saying: "Yes, yes, God has mercy."
Wu Jiu smiled, looked at the Luo family members, but didn't speak immediately.
Unexpectedly, Peng Zhongshuang stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the flood has just passed, and there are still many refugees who are displaced and have no food to eat. Zhong Shuang thought that the money for sacrifices is too much, so it is better to postpone it. Now use these money. Into the relief of refugees."
When he said this, Luo Hong immediately said: "Master Peng, as Le Yin, you are an official of the sacrificial ceremony, but you disrespect the heavens. If the gods blame you, can you bear it?!"
Peng Zhongshuang said: "Zhong Shuang respects God, and God naturally knows that the refugees are now displaced, how many wives are scattered, died of starvation, sickness, sacrifices are grand, and a lot of money needs to be spent. It is better to invest these funds in relief first, and wait for the refugee relief. Afterwards, it’s not too late to perform sacrifices.”
Luo Hong wanted to lure Wu Jiu out of the palace. If there was no sacrifice, then Wu Jiu would not be able to leave the palace. The army of the Ruo family would not be able to compare with Ruo Ao's six soldiers, and it would be impossible to kill all of them in the palace and come to the Qing emperor's side, so Wu Jiu was sure. You have to leave the palace.
Luo Hong said anxiously: "Doctor Peng, what you said is not what a Le Yin should say."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said to Wu Jiu, "Your Majesty, Le Yin disrespected the heavens, and should be investigated and prosecuted by him. Please learn from me!"
When he said this, many people from the Luo family stood up and said in unison: "Doctor Peng is disrespectful to heaven, he should be dismissed!"
Dou Qi squinted his eyes, and felt that when Lu Chen was imprisoned, the people of the Luo family seemed to be going crazy. What Peng Zhongshuang said was indeed reasonable. Every sacrifice would cost a lot of money and material resources. It is better to give relief and subsidize the people first.
Before Dou Qi could speak, Wu Jiu had already smiled and said, "You're right, I also think that Peng Zhongshuang shouldn't be this Le Yin."
When he said this, Peng Zhongshuang was quite calm, but Pan Chong was taken aback. He was about to stand up to speak, but Peng Zhongshuang held him down and shook his head at him. Pan Chong was very anxious.
Luo Hong and his party were really happy, and they responded immediately, but Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Peng Zhongshuang is such a great talent, I also think that he should not be a Le Yin, just in time, you have mentioned this issue, Luo Hong. Sacrifice is good, but it needs a presiding person, and the widow also thinks that Peng Zhongshuang is suitable..."
He said, under the dumbfounded eyes of Ruo Hong and the Ruo family, he said loudly, "Peng Zhongshuang listens to the order!"
Peng Zhongshuang quickly stood up, knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Zhongshuang is here."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "I have appointed you as Zhunling Yin to preside over the sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs, Peng Zhongshuang, don't let me down."
As soon as he said this, all the people in the Luo family went crazy, looking at me and looking at you, of course they didn't mean that, what they meant was to dismiss Peng Zhongshuang and send him to prison, not to dismiss Peng Zhongshuang and give him a promotion.
Pan Chong was also dumbfounded, he agreed to be Le Yin, why did he suddenly change to Ling Yin, although what Wu Jiao said was accurate, that is to say, it was not official, but it was Ling Yin!
Ling Yin of Chu State, Dou Bobi did it back then, Dou Qi did it, and the deceased Baoshen did it too.As for Peng Zhongshuang, a young bookworm who only knew how to offend others, the King of Chu even made him the Prime Minister of Chu State.
Everyone was dumbfounded, Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Peng Zhongshuang, what do you think?"
Peng Zhongshuang knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Zhong Shuang thinks... Zhong Shuang deserves it all."
When he said that, everyone was even more upset, and Wu Jiao laughed, very happy and hearty, and said: "Well said, the matter of worshiping the heavens in the southern suburbs is left to you. Is there anything else to report?"
Luo Hong originally wanted to pull Peng Zhongshuang down, but he didn't know that although Peng Zhongshuang fell off Le Yin's horse, he changed into a taller horse and became Ling Yin!
Luo Hong and the members of the Luo family were afraid to speak for a moment, fearing that Wu Jiu would make use of the topic again, so they kept their mouths shut and said nothing. Although they did not speak, they were even more angry in their hearts, thinking that Ling Yin should belong to their Luo family The people of Chu are better now. The king of Chu uses Dou Qi more, and Le Yin is from the Peng family, that is, from Shen Guo in the past. He has nothing to do with the old Chu people of the Luo family. It is determined to want to remonstrate.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Since there is nothing to do, let's dismiss the court and order Yin to come with the widow."
Everyone hurriedly kowtowed, and then walked out of the bedroom. Qi Hou picked up Wu Jiu, put him on the wheelchair, and pushed Wu Jiu back to the small bedroom.
Peng Zhongshuang walked from the outside to the small bedroom. Because of the long distance, he took some time, but soon came over, bowed to the ground and said: "Thank you, my king, for your kindness!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Peng Qing, do you think that this Ling Yin is a good one? You have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility when you take office. If you fail to complete the task, you will not be able to sit in this position. "
Peng Zhongshuang didn't have much expression on his face, he was still very calm, and said: "Zhong Shuang was born to share the worries of the king, please give orders from the king."
Wu Jiu was very satisfied with Peng Zhongshuang's attitude, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's about offering sacrifices to heaven..."
It had been more than an hour since Peng Zhongshuang came out of the bedroom, and it was already time for lunch. Peng Zhongshuang entered the room where the scholar-bureaucrats had their meals and rest. Immediately, a bunch of people came to fawn on him. Congratulations to Peng Zhongshuang on his appointment as a new official Yin Gaowei.
Don't look at the meal time, but the cooks specially left a lot of good dishes for Peng Zhongshuang. Peng Zhongshuang was surrounded by people and sat down to eat, but he was so cold and hard that the scholars and bureaucrats were devastated , kicked the steel plate, and soon fell apart.
When the literati and bureaucrats dispersed, "Bang!", one person took a picture of the case and sat next to Peng Zhongshuang.
Peng Zhongshuang ate slowly, and looked up, it was Pan Chong.
Pan Chong changed his official robe, don't look at him going to court today, it is actually time for him to take a bath, but after Pan Chong went down to court, he did not leave immediately, but stayed in the palace.
Pan Chong said, "Congratulations, Master Ling Yin."
Peng Zhongshuang looked at him and said, "Da Sima, I don't really congratulate you, there is a sour taste in my words."
Pan Chong said, "Sour smell? What kind of sour smell?"
Peng Zhongshuang gave a rare smile, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "Elder Sima must have felt that Zhong Shuang has always been lower than you, but now that he is suddenly higher, I feel uncomfortable."
Pan Chong said: "Hey, don't be shameless, who doesn't like it? I am the great Sima, in charge of the military power in the world, and you are just a submissive Yin."
Seeing that he still didn't admit it, Peng Zhongshuang laughed and said, "Lord Sima, my king happens to have something to do, so I asked Zhong Shuang to discuss it with you. I wonder if you'll have the time."
Pan Chong said, "Today I will take a rest."
Peng Zhongshuang said: "It's nothing, it's okay to go to your house."
Pan Chong had no choice but to bring Peng Zhongshuang back to the mansion, but he didn't expect Peng Zhongshuang to be so shameless that he "used power for personal gain", which made Pan Chong's back ache before he started talking about serious things.
The matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens in the southern suburbs has already been put on the agenda. The person in charge of the sacrifices is Le Yin in the past and Peng Zhongshuang, the Ling Yin today. How grand.
The matter of offering sacrifices to heaven had already been arranged, and officials at all levels were busy. Wu Jiu was actually very busy in the palace these days, not busy with all kinds of annoying business, but busy with healing his legs.
Wu Jiu injured his back. The position of the back can be big or small. Some people hurt their cervical spine and are paralyzed for the rest of their lives. Wu Jiu is lucky, it’s not serious, but his body is weak and he doesn’t recover very quickly. Still can't walk on my own.
Wu Jiao was a little anxious, after all, he was about to sacrifice to heaven, if his legs didn't recover, then there would definitely be many people looking for Wu Jiao's troubles, so Wu Jiao was more anxious.
Although taking decoction can also recover, but the recovery is relatively stable and a bit slow. Wu Jiu wanted to go faster. Tang Wu suggested that nine acupuncture can be given. The effect of nine acupuncture is good. It can be combined with decoction to open up the acupoints. In fact, it is acupuncture. .
Tang Wu said, "It's just a little pain."
When Qi Hou heard that Wu Jiu wanted to give nine injections, he repeatedly asked Tang Wu if there were any disadvantages. Tang Wu said: "There are no disadvantages, but some people react more, some react less, and some people feel pain." It’s unbearable, and some people feel no pain at all, but the more painful it is, the more effective it is.”
Medical treatment in this era is still underdeveloped, and even veteran medical officials don't know much about nine needles, so Marquis Qi didn't have much contact with it. Wu Jiu thinks it's feasible, after all, acupuncture is quite popular in modern times.
Wu Jiao was going to ask Tang Wu to give him nine needles, Tang Wu went to prepare, there were still five or six days before the sacrifice to heaven, and it happened to be five or six days in a row.
It only needs to be pierced for less than half an hour every day, pay attention to keep warm, don't catch cold, don't eat stimulating food, etc., there is nothing to pay attention to.
It just so happens that Wu Jiao is the one who is more sensitive to the pain of acupuncture. Tang Wu received the acupuncture on the first day, and he felt fine and tolerable, but on the third day, the painful Wu Jiao felt his whole muscle twitching. The technique was quite accurate, there was no bleeding at all, all of them were stuck on the acupuncture points, and Wu Jiu broke out in cold sweat due to the pain.
Seeing that Wu Jiao was sweating in pain, Qihou hurriedly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "Second Brother, does it hurt so much? Let Tang Wu take the needle."
Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Don't get up, don't get up, don't give up halfway, it hurts a little bit, I can bear it, besides, pain doesn't work, it's good to have feeling in the leg, it's better than no pain .”
Although Qihou knew that it was a good thing to feel pain, Wu Jiao's face was covered with sweat and his clothes were soaked in pain. After half an hour, his lips were bitten.
After Tang Wu took the needle, he wiped the eye of the needle lightly with a hot handkerchief, and there was no trace of blood, and all of them were stuck in the right place, but Wu Jiu's skin was fair, with little red dots on it, which were very obvious.
Qihou hurriedly put his arms around Wu Jiao, helped him look, and pinched Wu Jiao's leg, not to mention, although the pain was unbearable, but the effect is getting better and better, Wu Jiao's leg can already bend by itself , just standing or not standing up.
Seeing how hard he was working so hard, Qihou bowed his head and kissed Wu Jiu's lips, saying, "Second Brother, Gudu's heart aches."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "If the widows can't afford to suffer, then how can we make those restless people look good when offering sacrifices to heaven?"
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother is already pretty enough."
Wu Jiu couldn't hold back, and gave Qihou a blank look, but Qihou said sincerely: "Second brother, Gu is speaking the truth."
Wu Jiu only felt that his love words became more and more fluent, and they were particularly nasty.
Qihou helped him knead his legs, move his meridians, and said with a smile: "Second brother, get better soon, you look like this, I haven't eaten decent food for a few days, look, Gudu Qing reduced."
As Qihou said, he insisted on holding Wu Jiu's hand, stroking his abdomen, feeling a hard muscle in his hand, but Wu Jiu couldn't see where he had lost weight, and he still looked so tall. I didn't eat less, but said while eating that it was not as delicious as the second brother's cooking.
Wu Jiao thought for a while, Qi Hou accompanied him to the disaster-stricken places where he endured hardships, and indeed he hadn't eaten his own food for a long time, and Qi Hou helped a lot during this trip, so Wu Jiao smiled and said : "When the widow's leg is healed, I'll cook something delicious for you."
When Qihou heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Second brother, what's delicious?"
Wu Jiu said, "Anyway, you haven't eaten it, and it's delicious."
Qi Hou was scratched by his claws, his eyes were shining like Dabai, his eyes were blue, and he pestered Wu Jiao to ask what was delicious.
Wu Jiu originally planned to show off, but Qi Hou couldn't hold back Qi Hou kept asking, he was pestering him like a big dog, Wu Jiu said helplessly, "Fruit wood roast duck."
Qi Hou didn't understand, but said: "Fruit wood roast duck? Although I don't know what it is, it sounds delicious. Second brother's craftsmanship must be right."
In the next few days, Wu Jiu also got nine needles every day, and soon it was the day of the sacrifice. People in the Zhou Dynasty would sacrifice from morning to noon. Although it is Spring and Autumn, the tradition of Zhou people is still followed. The day's team set off in a mighty way.
Wu Jiu still couldn't get up in the morning, he lay on the couch, wrapped in a quilt, tired in spring and autumn, and now it was just autumn, Wu Jiu didn't like to get up even more, he insisted that the quilt was dragging him, so Ziqing and Tang Wu couldn't see the trouble, all together Hou felt helpless for a while.
In the end, Wu Jiu didn't get up either, and it was Marquis Qi who carried Wu Jiu into the chariot with the quilt rolled up. Naturally, ordinary literati and bureaucrats couldn't see Wu Jiu's appearance, but it was like Ling Yin, Peng Zhongshuang, Da Sima Pan Chong, and others. Mo Ao, Douqi, etc., all saw it.
Dou Qi worriedly asked the king if he was sick, but in fact the king just had a disease that he didn't want to get out of bed, and Wu Jiao swore that it was the quilt who did it first.
Wu Jiu was in a daze, and finally woke up in the black car, opened his eyes with a confused look on his face, looked at the roof of the car for a long time, then sat up in surprise, and said: "What's going on? What time is it? !"
Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu quietly, and said with a smile, "You little slob, do you still know? You're going to the altar soon."
Wu Jiu was taken aback. He opened the curtain of the car and saw that it was already in the suburbs. He was so frightened that he hurriedly arranged his clothes. Wu Jiu was carried out by Qihou lying in the quilt, so naturally he was not wearing court robes. Tang Wu waited on him, and everyone was in a hurry to dress Wu Jiu neatly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the black car came to a stop slowly, Wu Jiu had already changed into a well-dressed appearance, as noble as a black swan.
Qihou got out of the car first, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he carried Wu Jiu out of the car, put him on the wheelchair, and slowly pushed him into the altar.
Da Sima's team was very majestic, with neat soldiers lined up on both sides, respectfully welcoming the King of Chu, and the team went all the way to the main hall of the altar.
Marquis Qi pushed Wu Jiu forward slowly, and the scholar-bureaucrats lined up on both sides knelt down and kowtowed one after another. From the lower-ranked ones, all the way in, the closer to the hall of sacrifice, the higher the ranks.
Until the gate of the sacrificial hall, the guard team stopped here, and the ordinary scholar-bureaucrats also stopped here. They had no right to enter the majestic sacrificial hall. The senior officials followed Wu Jiu and walked into the magnificent hall.
As Wu Jiu entered the main hall, the scholar bureaucrats stood up one after another, and Peng Zhongshuang, who was the host of the sacrifice, also entered the main hall to ask Wu Jiu if he could start.
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Let's begin."
Peng Zhongshuang looked at the time and saw that the time for offering sacrifices to heaven would soon come, so he said loudly, "I respectfully invite my king to step on the altar!"
As he said this, there was the sound of music playing next to him, Qihou pushed Wu Jiu, and was about to walk up to the altar, but at this moment, he suddenly heard "Wait a minute!"
Everyone was a little surprised, and they all followed the voice and looked at the speaker. You must know that offering sacrifices to the heavens is a solemn event, an extremely serious and grand event. There is nothing more solemn than offering sacrifices to the heavens in a country, even if the new king ascends the throne. cannot.
However, at this moment, when the time for offering sacrifices to the sky was just right, someone suddenly made trouble and dared to say "wait a minute", if the time was missed, it would be a serious crime of losing one's head.
Everyone looked over and saw a commotion in the crowd, and then a man wearing a scholar-official robe came out, it turned out to be Luo Hong from the Luo family.
When Luo Hong came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why he was slow to shout, after all, the sacrifice to the heaven was recommended by Luo Hong, but now he called to stop the sacrifice to the heaven.
Wu Jiu turned his head, looked at Luo Hong, squinted his eyes, and said, "Doctor Luo bothering Jitian, what does that mean?"
Luo Hong immediately said: "Luo Hong didn't mean to be disrespectful to God, but because Luo Hong respected God too much, that's why he called to stop."
Wu Jiu laughed, and said, "Oh? Is Doctor Ru still right?"
However, Luo Hong ignored Wu Jiu and walked forward suddenly, stepping up the steps of the altar.
The crowd immediately let out a gasp of "Ho!!", which was disrespectful. The king of Chu State had not yet set foot on the altar, nor had the priests set foot on the altar. , and stepped onto the altar.
Everyone's eyes widened in fright, looking at the crazy Luo Hong.
Dou Qi said coldly: "Jian Hong! What are you doing? Are you going to rebel!?"
Luo Hong laughed, he didn't listen to dissuasion, walked up the altar step by step, reached the top, and then waved his hand, the crowd gasped again, and many black people poured out from all around the hall. Armored soldiers came. Although those soldiers were wearing black armour, they were not the Chu army, but the autonomous army of the Ru family.
The Luo family's army quickly surrounded the entire hall, "Boom!!!" There was a loud noise, and the door of the hall was directly closed. Two teams of black armor quickly surrounded from both sides, and all the courtiers were imprisoned at once. In the hall.
Everyone opened their eyes wide in fright and said, "Jian Hong! You are rebelling!"
Luo Hong stood condescendingly on the altar and said with a smile, "No, this is not a rebellion. Luo Hong is just following the will of God. Take a look, what has our King of Chu done for us Chu people?"
After Luo Hong said this, Dou Qi immediately shouted: "Luo Hong! Presumptuous!"
But Luo Hong ignored him, looked down at Wu Jiu contemptuously, as if looking down at a lowly ant, and said with a smile: "The current king of Chu has no heirs, but he has adopted a wild species from nowhere to be his prince. This is disrespect! Disrespect! One of the crimes!"
He paused, looking at Wu Jiu's calm eyes, Luo Hong was suddenly very angry, and continued impassionedly: "The second thing is to fight endlessly and tyrannically! Since the king of Chu came to the throne, there have been constant battles, big and small, which made me The people of Chu State were displaced and complained, and it was obvious that he was a tyrant!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"tyrant!"
"Tyrant! There is no pardon!"
The people of the Luo family had already discussed it. Now that they saw the army of the Luo family surrounding the main hall, the ministers looked frightened, so they naturally wanted to cater to Luo Hong and shouted immediately.
Wu Jiu's expression was still calm, and he said, "Go on, Doctor Ruo, I guess the widow's crimes are not limited to these two?"
Seeing that he was so "arrogant", Luo Hong immediately said: "Appointing traitors and framing Zhongliang, this is the third! Since the king of Chu came to power, he has suppressed talents and appointed mobs. Looking at my entire court of Chu, it is already filthy. Look at it. Today's Da Sima is born lowly and humble; today's Ling Yin is the remnant of Shen Guo, and his heart can be punished; today's Mo Ao is even forming a clique for personal gain, trying to use fighters to control the government! And the King of Chu is indiscriminate, so credulous Villain, it’s really chilling to abandon me and other loyal ministers!!”
After Luo Hong finished speaking, the people of the Luo family responded immediately, saying, "Yes! I feel disappointed!"
"That's right! Kill Dou Qi!"
"Kill Dou Qi, Lord Qing!"
"Everyone in the Dou Family deserves to die! Kill Dou Qi! And that Peng Zhongshuang, what ability is there, why should he be Ling Yin!"
Dou Qi looked around, his eyes bloodshot with anger, but in comparison, Peng Zhongshuang was much calmer, still facing his paralyzed face, he seemed to have no reaction.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Is there anything else? Let's talk about it in one breath."
Luo Hong immediately said: "Of course! There is also the fourth and most important point of the crime. The current king of our Chu country is actually a paralyzed man with a disability! If this matter spreads, the princes will definitely accuse us of Chu. Giving pointers is simply embarrassing our country of Chu and our scholar-bureaucrats!! Such a paralyzed person is not worthy to be the king of our country of Chu!"
Dou Qi said in a cold voice: "Luo Hong! Don't forget how your majesty was injured. Your majesty was sympathetic to the victims and went to the disaster area to check it out. That's why he was seriously injured. However, you are overgeneralizing and confusing the public. What is your intention! ?”
However, Luo Hong ignored Dou Qi, and just attacked Wu Jiu as a cripple.
At this time Wu Jiu suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter was very clear and clear, and amidst the chaotic crowd and noisy noise, it was exceptionally clear and pleasant.
Wu Jiu laughed, and Ju Hong shouted: "Tyrant! You are dying, how can you still laugh..."
He was talking, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly choked up his throat, because everyone saw that the king of Chu, who was dressed in a black court robe and was as noble as a black swan, suddenly put his hands on the wheelchair, With a light push, he stood up lightly.
Wu Jiu stood up from the wheelchair
