Chapter 65
Wu Jiu always felt that Qi Hou must have eaten something wrong, otherwise he would speak in a weird way, not because Wu Jiu was afraid that Qi Hou would drop him, but because he was afraid that Qi Hou would say something strange again, so he quickly shut his mouth, Wisely pretended not to hear anything, and just nestled in Qihou's arms obediently.
But let him wrap his hands around Qihou's neck, Wu Jiu couldn't do this, because this movement was really strange, and Wu Jiao felt particularly nasty for no reason.
Marquis Qi entered the small bedroom with Wu Jiu in his arms, walked directly into the inner hall, put Wu Jiao on the couch, then pulled the quilt to cover Wu Jiao, stretched out his hand to cover Wu Jiao's forehead, tried it was his Body temperature, and then said: "Call the medical officer over."
The eunuch responded, and hurried to call the medical officer, Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Jiu, there is no need to call..."
Before he finished speaking, Qihou put his index finger on Wu Jiu's lips, because Wu Jiu was just talking, and almost put his index finger in his mouth, he was startled, and the content of his speech came to an abrupt end stopped.
Qi Hou laughed, squinted his eyes and said, "Shh...Second brother is talking to Gu again, huh?"
"Yeah" What a big head, does Qi Hou think he is the president who flirts with girls in idol dramas?so nasal...
Wu Jiu's face turned blue in an instant, and he turned his head slightly to keep Qihou's fingers from pressing on his lips, and taking advantage of the turning of his head, he quickly raised his hand to wipe his mouth.
Qi Hou sat down on the couch next to him, and said with a faint smile, "Second Brother came here when he was sick, and came up and scolded Gu all over the place. Thinking about it, whose attention is this? It's Cao GUI. Is that the bastard's idea?"
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, just now in front of his friend, Qihou's attitude was so ambiguous and gentle, once he turned his head, he wanted to "make trouble", although it was not Cao GUI's idea to scold Qihou, but It was indeed Cao GUI who came to find Wu Jiu.
After all, there are fundamental differences between Cao GUI, Gongsun Xipeng, Wang Zicheng's father, and Shi Su. Talk about Qihou's attack on Weiguo.
And what about the prince becoming a father?Because of succession issues, when the Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, Prince Chengfu ran to the State of Qi. As for what Marquis Qi said, it was an imperial decree, and he was determined not to disobey it, so naturally he would not come to Wu Jiu.
Needless to say, Gongsun Xipeng, he seems to be an honest person, but he is different from Shi Su, because after 20 years of following, Gongsun Xipeng values loyalty, stupid loyalty, and forbearance. He was entangled in the matter of attacking Weiguo, but he was determined not to go to Wu Jiao.
Then after all this is calculated, only Cao GUI is an old fritter. Cao GUI was in Liangfu Mountain at that time, and the incident of letting Qihou cut firewood is still vivid in his mind. A broken jar.
After thinking about it, Qi Hou understood, and said with a faint smile, "That bastard Cao GUI."
Wu Jiu said, "Jiu himself heard about it, please don't misunderstand General Cao."
When Qihou heard this, he said, "Oh?", and said with a smile, "It seems that Cao GUI still has some ability to let the second brother protect him like this? Sigh... Gu is really delicious."
Wu Jiu secretly looked at Qihou with an idiot expression again, wondering what exactly Qihou ate wrongly, his speech was very abnormal, sour, it made people get goosebumps all over, the most important thing was because of Qihou Being used to being moody, Wu Jiu didn't know which of his words was true.
Qihou smiled and said: "Forget it, Second Brother is good to rest. Tomorrow morning, the court will discuss the matter of digging the canal. Is Second Brother satisfied this time?"
Wu Jiu didn't take it well when he heard him speak, and every mouthful was sour and watery, which made Wu Jiu's skin crawl, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Qihou said with a smile: "There are two such virtuous ministers. How dare Gu not be wise? If you want to do whatever you want a little bit, even Bei who was scolded by the second brother can't find it. You should say it in front of the minister. What about the second brother?"
Wu Jiu coughed, quickly subdued and said, "Jiao just lost his composure for a while, please punish him."
As he said, he hurriedly wanted to get up from the couch, so he knelt down on the ground. Qihou quickly reached out to stop him, took Wu Jiu's arm, brought him back to the couch, and said, "Second brother, what are you doing? I didn't blame my second brother, I was just thinking..."
Smiling, Qi Hou stretched out his hand to smooth Wu Jiu's black hair, stroked it lightly in his hand, and said softly, "It's just... I've lived alone for so long, I really haven't heard such vehement advice from others."
Wu Jiao thought to himself, after all, didn't he blame himself for speaking too harshly?When he said that in a roundabout way, Wu Jiao secretly rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Jiao is impolite."
Qihou said with a smile: "I've said it all, I don't mean to blame my second brother, so I don't need to apologize anymore."
While they were talking, the medical officer outside trotted in, first asked Qihou and Wu Jiu, and then came to ask for pulse, Wu Jiu still had a low fever, so he prescribed medicine again, and asked the eunuch to make soup.
Marquis Qi didn't leave either, he asked Wu Jiu carefully about his condition, the medical officer gave the same answer, it was because Wu Jiu was in poor health, so he needed to be taken care of, he couldn't stand the cold, and he couldn't get angry, Can't be in a hurry.
If Wu Jiu's physical condition is so poor, it's not because Young Master Jiu vomited blood in the city of Linzi angrily when he was fighting for the throne with the Marquis of Qi, it's because of Gongsun Xipeng.
Qihou ordered Gongsun Xipeng to stop Young Master Jiu from entering the city in Linzi City. Young Master Jiu saw that he was only a wall away from the Hou position, but he was unable to enter the city, and was ridiculed by Gongsun Xipeng. He only wanted to be the Marquis of Qi all his life. Now There is no fate, and he vomits blood naturally.
Others thought they just vomited blood and fainted, but they were actually pissed off, and Wu Jiao filled in the vacancy. Young Master Jiu was so pissed off, can the body that Wu Jiao filled in get better?
In addition, everyone escorted Wu Jiao to quickly retreat back to Lu State. The road was bumpy and tiring, and there was no way to heal it, so the root cause of the disease remained. The general trend of Jiu is gone, and Qi has a new Marquis, so no one is allowed to treat Wu Jiu's illness, and the root of the disease has settled.
In those days, wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold, if you take the wrong medicine, you can die directly. Chinese medicine is not very developed. It is not easy for Wu Jiu to develop such a body.
The medical officer prescribed the medicine, Qi Hou took the medical officer to ask about the situation in the outer hall, Wu Jiu was lying on the "dragon bed", feeling that the bed was bigger than the other rooms, the bedroom was indeed the bedroom, otherwise there would be so many people Even if you break your head, you have to fight for the position.
Wu Jiu rolled around on it, rolled up the quilt and hugged it in his arms. The quilt was also softer than his own, and it was still fragrant, with a faint scent of medicine and flowers.
Wu Jiu was rolling on the bed, but Qi Hou had finished asking, walked in from the outside, just in time to see him rolling around, still hugging the quilt, rolling and rolling, tucked it into his arms and hugged him tightly, as if Like a child.
Qihou couldn't hold it back, and even laughed out loud with a "puchi", Wu Jiao was startled, sat up quickly, and pushed the quilt, as if it was the quilt that was entangled with Wu Jiao just now, rather than Wu Jiao tossing the quilt.
Qihou held back a smile and walked in, he didn't know that the second brother still had such a childish side.
Qihou came in, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Second brother, remember to stay in bed these days, don't stay in bed, and you will be well for a few days."
Wu Jiu said, "The court meeting tomorrow..."
Qi Hou said: "This is not good, the second brother is still in the care, and I will bring your opinion to the ministers, so the second brother doesn't have to go, the body is important, you know?"
Hearing his gentle and watery words, Wu Jiu felt a little shivering, so he quickly responded, "Yes."
Qi Hou said again: "The soup and medicine will come in a while, the second brother will rest for a while."
Qi Hou helped Wu Jiu lie down, covered him with a quilt, and then sat down in front of the desk next to him, looked at the documents, and did not leave.
Wu Jiu felt a little stressed all of a sudden, isn't Marquis Qi going to leave?What have you been doing here?
Wu Jiu pretended to be asleep in silence, and Qi Hou read the documents in silence. After a while, the eunuch reported that the soup was ready.
Qihou hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring it in."
He said, looking back, he happened to see Wu Jiao sitting up from the couch, maybe he was a little sleepy, when he heard that the soup was ready, he wrinkled his face with a reluctant look on his face.
When Qihou saw it, he laughed and said, "Drink the medicine obediently, and eat two pieces of dried fruit in a while."
Just as Wu Jiao fell asleep, he rubbed his eyes in a daze. At this moment, he saw a person walking in from the outside holding a decoction respectfully. It wasn't some eunuch. Wu Jiao took a closer look, good guy, It's a trial friend.
Shenyou stretched out his hands to hold the decoction, and walked in respectfully from outside. Qihou also saw him and said, "Shenyou, why are you here? You have become an eunuch?"
Shenyou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, You came here specially to deliver soup and medicine to the Young Master. Just now, what Young Master said, enlightened you, and made You feel how short-sighted your previous opinion was. After listening to the Young Master, You have benefited a lot, after thinking about it, I must thank the young master for his enlightenment, so I personally brought the soup and medicine."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was very impressed. This friend of the interrogator's flattery almost hit his back, and there was a sound of "dong dong dong".
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "Why, Doctor Zhong agrees with Jiu's point of view?"
Shenyou immediately said: "You only have the king and the state of Qi in your heart, so when you heard that the state of Wei has acted shamelessly and messed up your position, you would advocate war with the state of Wei. , It’s not the same, you admire the young master from the bottom of your heart, and want to plead guilty to the young master for your recklessness just now.”
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but Qi Hou said: "Okay, friend Shen, you also put down the medicine for the sake of our great Qi country, you should avoid it first, the young master needs to calm down and take care of you, when the court meeting tomorrow , and then you can talk about your own thoughts with all the gentlemen."
"Yes, friend Shen understands, that friend will leave first."
As Shenyou said, he put down the medicine bowl, and then retreated respectfully. Wu Jiao watched as Shenyou retreated, frowned, and glanced at Qihou.
Qihou's posture clearly does not want to punish Shenyou. This Shenyou is a flatterer. When Qihou wants to attack Weiguo, Shenyou supports Qihou to attack Weiguo. Anyone who says not to fight will be anxious, but Just now, Wu Jiu "sorred" Qi Hou for a while. The interrogator saw that Qi Hou was not angry, but treated Wu Jiu with gentleness. He immediately changed his strategy and began to say that the strategy of digging the canal was good, as if the one who said Wu Jiu was a The spies of the State of Lu are not like him at all.
This is obviously a typical sycophantic sycophant, where there is interest and which side to pour.
Qi Hou took the medicine bowl and walked over, sat on the edge of the couch, handed the medicine bowl to Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, drink it while it's hot, it will be colder and the medicine will lose its effect, and it will be even more bitter."
Wu Jiu had no choice but to bring it over, close his eyes, and drank the medicine. Qihou hurriedly handed over the dried fruit, took the empty bowl, put it aside, and said with a smile: "What is the second brother Guzhi thinking...The friend Shen, A sycophant is not a good person at first glance, this gentleman likes to listen to others sycophanting him, he is quite confused, isn't he?"
When Wu Jiao heard this, the dried fruit almost rolled down his throat, coughed twice, and then said: "Jiao..."
Qi Hou raised his hand to stop his words, and said, "Second brother, don't deny it in a hurry, I know, that's what you think."
Qihou smiled, put the empty bowl on the case with a "do" sound, and then said with a smile: "Friend Shen, he is a rare loyal minister."
Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou strangely, Qi Hou smiled and said: "You Shenyou has been watching Gu's face all his life, because he wants to seek benefits from Gu, he is an old Qi, and he wants to plot Interest, so I only say that he is a loyal minister. If he wants to fight anyone, he will say that it is good to fight, and he will say that it is right to fight. If he only wants to collect taxes, he will think of a way to name the tax collection. Let’s just talk about this battle. If Qi State loses, then the crime is not Gu’s, but Juyou’s, because he strongly recommended Gu Xing’s soldiers to attack Wei State, second brother, do you understand?”
Wu Jue looked at Qihou intently, Qihou laughed and said: "To put it simply, Shenyou is capable, talented, and accomplished, but he spent eight percent of his ability on shooting orphans. He has the interests he wants, and he also has the loyalty in return for his interests, but his loyalty is a little slippery, and Gu also has places to use him, occasionally listening to Listen to good things, second brother, who doesn't like to hear good things?"
Wu Jiu listened to Qihou's words, and understood in his heart that Qihou was not impulsive and confused at all, but he understood too much in his heart. He wanted to fight Weiguo, and this battle must be fought. No matter what method, Weiguo challenged Qihou's bottom line was broken.
Just when Qihou was furious, everyone told Qihou that he could not fight and could not fight, and naturally he was even more angry.Qihou is no longer a boy. He has been Qihou for two lifetimes, and he has never seen any battle that he cannot fight. Although this battle may not be victorious, it will definitely damage the country of Wei.
Only Shenyou stood up for the fight. Although Qihou knew that Shenyou was just following his own words and guessing his own meaning, but with Shenyou's support, many ministers would also look at Qihou's face when they were discussed in the court. The battle is settled.
Marquis Qi doesn’t trust friends, but for kings, they like to be flattered by others. Looking around, there are so many kings in history, which one is not headstrong and conceited, and Marquis Qi is not immune, especially the higher he stands , the more unavoidable.
Fortunately, Marquis Qi can distinguish clearly what flattery is.
Wu Jiu didn't speak, and Qihou said again: "This man, Shenyou, has a very sharp tongue, didn't the second brother see it just now? He is still useful. If the canal project is successful, the state of Wei will definitely negotiate a peace alliance with Gu. When the time comes Let Shenyou go to negotiate with the big bank, he is quick-spoken, and let him challenge Weiguo, isn't that good?"
Wu Jiu thought for a while, then said, "Why doesn't your lord let Jiu go to negotiate?"
Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu, smiled, and said, "Because I'm lonely."
Wu Jiu's scalp was numb, thinking about Qihou talking, he suddenly had another convulsion.I saw Qihou gently caressing Wu Jiu's hair, hooking a strand of Wu Jiu's hair behind his ears and pinning it up, and said with a smile: "Gu is speaking the truth, the second brother is so transparent and intelligent. Gu wants to tie you by my side all the time, so I can feel at ease. Besides, the second brother is not in good health, so I don’t feel at ease when I ask you to go to the peace talks... Another point, did the second brother forget Wei Wei? What kind of person is Hou? We were almost put under house arrest by Marquis Wei last time. Regardless of whether Marquis Wei is in good faith or not, there are risks. Also clear."
When Wu Jiu heard this, Marquis Qi thought so long-term.
Qihou helped him tidy up his hair, and said: "Okay, second brother, don't worry about those things. I told you that you are worrying about it, but second brother still doesn't admit it. After drinking the medicine, lie down and sleep obediently. I will call again after dinner." Get up, take care of yourself for a few days, and taking care of your body is the real thing."
Wu Jiu was relieved when he heard what Qi Hou said so clearly, and he lay down honestly. Qi Hou covered him with a quilt, and then said in a low voice: "Go to the small bedroom next door. I won't disturb your rest. If you have something to do, call Si People come to know the lonely."
Wu Jiao felt a little wrong, why Qihou's attitude was so wrong, except for his own mother, no one had spoken to him so gently when he was sick, it was very wrong.
However, Wu Jiao didn't know if the decoction had the effect of sleeping. He felt sleepy listening to Qi Hou's gentle and deep words, so sleepy he nodded, didn't speak, just closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Hou said that the dinner was called Wu Jiao, so Wu Jiao slept very sweetly, and fell asleep recklessly, until he was so hungry that he didn't open his eyes.
When I opened my eyes, Marquis Qi was still not in the palace, and there were eunuchs and maids guarding beside him. This was different from Wu Jiu's house. Wu Jiu only had Ziqing and Yan'e by his side, and two people were enough. As a result, this As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a group of eunuchs and maids on the left and right, all staring at Wu Jiao to sleep.
The moment Wu Jiu opened his eyes, several eunuchs and maids asked with their eyes if they had any orders.
Wu Jiu suddenly felt that it was scary to be stared at while sleeping, so he turned over and sat up. An eunuch hurried over, put a cloak on Wu Jiu, and said, "My lord, are you up yet?"
Wu Jiu said, "Do you want dinner?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "My lord, it's time for breakfast."
"what?"
Wu Jiao was startled, it turned out that it was not night, but morning, and he fell asleep in the hallway, Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiu was sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake him up.
Moreover, there was a court meeting early this morning, and Marquis Qi left early, leaving the eunuch to take care of Wu Jiao, let Wu Jiao sleep a little longer, put the breakfast on the fire to warm up, and wait for Wu Jiao to wake up before eating.
When Wu Jiu heard this, the court proceedings had already begun, and he slept soundly enough.
The eunuch waited on Wu Jiu to wash and dress, and then brought him breakfast, which he ate in the small bedroom. Wu Jiao felt as if he had suddenly become an "emperor", with so many people surrounding him, it was actually quite awkward .
Wu Jiu stayed in the small dormitory because Marquis Qi refused to let him go and insisted on recovering from his illness before leaving. Ziqing and Yan'e instantly seemed unemployed because there were too many eunuchs and maids in the dormitory. I took a little vacation.
Yan'e was very free that day. Seeing the flowers in the garden in full bloom, she suddenly thought that the young master's scented tea and fruit tea seemed to be running out, so she thought that while she was free, she would quickly pick some flowers and dry them for storage.
Yan'e was pulling flowers in the garden with a small basket, because the weather was good, Yan'e was young and liked to play, while picking flowers, she used small flower branches to push out a bunch of small wreaths, just thinking it was fun, when she suddenly heard someone behind her Laughter, startled, and quickly turned around to take a look.
It turned out to be Marquis Xing.
Xing Hou was wearing a gorgeous robe and a white jade crown on his head. He did not know when he stood behind Yan E. Xing Hou was a martial arts practitioner. Yan E didn't understand these things at all, so naturally he didn't notice him coming.
Yan'e was taken aback, Xing Hou quickly said: "I'm sorry, I was reckless and scared Miss Yan'e."
Yan'e heard him speak politely and politely, and felt very strange, after all, she was a slave, who would call herself a girl.
Yan'e asked Xing Hou a gift, and then wanted to run away with the basket, but Xing Hou smiled and said, "What is this girl, she is so beautiful."
Yan'e looked down and saw that Xing Hou was referring to the little wreath on her hand, so Yan'e could only say: "The servant girl made it up by herself, I made Xing Gong a joke."
Xing Hou smiled and said, "No, no, Miss Yan'e is ingenious, this weave is so beautiful, can you give it to me?"
Yan E looked at the simple garland in her hand, and then at Xing Hou. Xing Hou smiled sincerely. Yan E really didn't understand, but such a garland was worthless, so she gave it to Xing Hou.
Marquis Xing held it in his hand, with a look of liking in every possible way, and said: "Thank you, Miss Yan'e, I will take this back to Xing Country later."
The two of them were speechless for a while, Xing Hou said at this time: "I heard that Mr. Qi is ill, but I just went to the Mr.'s side, why didn't I see anyone, does Miss Yan'e know where Mr. Qi is?"
Yan E said: "Back to Mr. Xing, the young master is in the small bedroom. Because the young master has been feverish for several days, the emperor has already taken the young master to the small bedroom to raise him. If Xing Gong is visiting sick, he can go to the small bedroom."
When Xing Hou heard this, he was a little taken aback, and said, "Small bedroom?"
Xing Kingdom also has small sleeping palaces, and every country has small sleeping palaces. The emperor has four small sleeping palaces, and the princes have two small sleeping palaces. They are all places to sleep and rest, which is the standard for kings.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once said a very famous saying - How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch.
Although there is no Zhao Kuangyin in this era, Zhao Kuangyin just summed up the king's heart. Which king's couch can let others sleep?
Although Xing Hou is the monarch of a small country, he was a little taken aback when he heard this at first, and then he smiled and said: "I really admire Qi Gong, he is open-minded, I really admire it."
Yan E didn't understand Xing Hou's words, she looked at Xing Hou strangely, Xing Hou smiled again and said: "Then I will go to visit the sick first, and I will bid farewell to Miss Yan E first."
Yan'e hurriedly saluted, watched Xing Hou leave, and only after Xing Hou walked away, said in a low voice, "That's strange."
Xing Hou walked to Qi Hou's small sleeping hall, he let someone know, and went in. When he entered, Qi Hou happened to be there, and he was talking to Wu Jiu about the court meeting.
The matter of digging the canal was basically passed by the court. Naturally, people like Wang Zicheng, father, grandson, Xipeng, Cao GUI and Shi Su agreed, and there were also the slick tongue of Shenyou. As a result, the ministers also agreed, but the problem was solved. in sight.
Guo Guo is a small country, and they absolutely dare not provoke Wei Guo. I am afraid that the Wei Guo will attack them in turn, so we must not start digging ditches from Guo Guo.
Then only the state of Jin is left, and you can't go to the land of the Wei state to dig ditches.
However, the relationship between Jin State and Qi State is not good. If Jin State leases a piece of land to Qi State to dig a canal to flood Wei State, Jin State may not agree to such an offending thing.
It is very important who will be the envoy to the state of Jin and let the Marquis of Jin agree to borrow the land. Of course, in the court, for the sake of meritorious service, the friend of the trial has devoted himself to death, so he quickly asked Ying to persuade the Marquis of Jin.
However, Qi Hou only said that he would consider it, and did not immediately agree.
Wu Jiu didn't know who Shenyou was, after all, he had never memorized history, but Qihou knew, after all, he had lived his whole life.
Shenyou can also be regarded as a hero of the state of Qi. In Guanzi's book, the person Shenyou is also recorded. The name of Shenyou is listed after the five heroes of Duke Huan of Qi, and he is also a rare talent.
However, each of these talents has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, there is also a talent recorded in the tube alongside Shenyou, and that person is called Wei Kaifang.
Who is Wei Kaifang?That was a famous person in history, who starved to death the Spring and Autumn Overlord Duke Huan of Qi together with Diao, the eunuch of Yi Ya.Wei Kaifang was the son of Wei State, and later defected to Qi State.
Some people are treacherous and treacherous, but they are really talented, and Shenyou is not considered treacherous, they just like to flirt.
Shenyou is talented and eloquent, but he is a little slippery. Qihou can be regarded as a person who can recognize people and make good use of them, and make use of their strengths to avoid weaknesses. Shenyou is a great official. The Daxingren are the same, except that Wu Jiu was a special envoy at that time, but Shenyou was not a special envoy, he was engaged in diplomacy and was subordinate to Gongsun Xipeng.
In his previous life, Marquis Qi asked Shenyou to be in charge of diplomacy, which happened to be Jin, so asking Shenyou to negotiate with Jin was actually a good choice, but Qihou felt that he was not sure, and wanted to be more sure. In fact, he had a choice in mind.
At this time, the person who chose him came to the door by himself.
I heard the eunuch say: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xing is asking to see you."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi smiled and said, "Please come in quickly."
Xing Hou quickly walked in from the outside, clasped his fists and said, "Qi Gong, Qi Gongzi."
Wu Jiu was still on the couch, he got up quickly and saluted, saying: "Jiao has seen Mr. Xing."
Xing Hou hurriedly said: "Sit down quickly, I heard that Mr. Qi is ill, and I came here to visit him. How can I make Mr. Qi tired? Sit down quickly."
Qi Hou personally supported Wu Jiu to sit down, and let Wu Jiao sit on the couch. In fact, Wu Jiu's buttocks were going to be numb. He found a chance to stand up for a while, but was gently and considerately pushed down by Qi Hou.
Wu Jiu had no choice but to sit down, Qi Hou covered him with a quilt, and said to Xing Hou with a smile: "Xing Gong took the time to visit the sick today, Gu is really grateful."
Xing Hou said with a smile: "Young Master Qi and I hit it off right away, so naturally I'm here to visit the doctor. How can I be grateful to say that Duke Qi is serious."
Qihou smiled and said, "Hey, is this in Mr. Xing's hands...?"
Xing Hou looked down, and said a little embarrassedly: "Just now I met Miss Yan'e in the garden. Seeing that she is making this up, I thought it looked good at the moment, so I begged for it with a shy face."
When Wu Jiu heard it, Marquis Xing actually liked flowers?I really can't see it.
Qi Hou squinted his eyes, his heart was clear, and he said with a smile: "Yan'e is naughty, please take care of Mr. Xing."
Xing Hou waved his hands again and again, and when he mentioned Yan'e, an indescribable smile appeared on his face, and said: "Miss Yan'e is ice-snow smart and gentle, she should be naughty at her age, not like me , soaking in government affairs every day, even if you want to be naughty, you don't have the idea."
Qi Hou laughed and said, "Xing Gong is right."
The two were chatting and laughing, Wu Jiao gave Qi Hou a strange look, always felt that Qi Hou wanted to cheat Xing Hou, that smile was very creepy.
Sure enough, I saw Qi Hou smiling and smiling, and suddenly stopped laughing. Those who didn't know thought he was going into shock suddenly, but Qi Hou sighed deeply, with a very sad expression on his face.
When Xing Hou saw it, he quickly said, "Duke Qi, is there something bothering you? If there is anything I can help, Duke Qi just ask."
Qi Hou also pretended to evade it, saying: "This is not very good. After all, it is about my Qi country. In fact, alas... it is really annoying."
When Xing Hou heard this, he said: "At that time, it was also an internal matter of our Xing country that someone secretly attacked our Xing country, but Qi Gong helped him out of righteousness. He didn't ask our Xing country for the money for the carriage, horses, food, grass, and troops. I admire this great benevolence and righteousness, and now that there is something wrong with the Qi State, I will definitely help it with all my strength, and I would like to ask Duke Qi to talk about it."
Qi Hou heard that Xing Hou was so righteous, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Then I will say it, but it is actually just some trivial things that are not worth mentioning."
As he said that, he talked about Wei Guo breaking the contract and provoking Qi Guo. Xinghou is the new king. Said: "This Marquis Wei, how can he do such a thing?"
The Marquis of Qi said faintly: "He, the Marquis of Wei, deceives no one in our country of Qi. If our country of Qi doesn't give him a look, wouldn't it be too weak and incompetent?"
Xing Hou immediately said: "It should be so."
At this time, Marquis Qi explained Wu Jiu's attention, Marquis Xing immediately showed joy, and said: "Young Master Qi is a great talent, I really admire him, this method is very tight, it is very tight, as expected, he will win without using troops. This is the great victory! Your son is a great talent!"
Wu Jiu was praised several times by him, and he was very sincere, so he felt a little embarrassed, Qi Hou continued to dig a hole and said: "It's a pity that no one in our country of Qi can implement such a good plan."
Xing Hou said: "This...how do you explain this?"
Marquis Qi told about the bad relationship between Qi and Jin, Xing Hou clapped his hands suddenly, and said: "This is easy to handle, I have always been on good terms with Duke Jin, and Duke Jin is selling my face, I will go with Duke Jin." Say, isn’t that enough? It’s a success!”
Wu Jiao said in his heart, very good, he took the bait, and there is no bait yet, Qihou is worthy of being the descendant of Jiang Taigong, Gou'er was so straight that he took the bait!
But Qihou showed a troubled expression, and said: "This... this is not very good, to trouble Mr. Xing so much."
Xing Hou waved his hand and said: "Duke Qi, don't bother me any more. Without the help of Duke Qi and Qi State's soldiers and horses, Xing State would have been defeated by the people of Qi. It is all thanks to Qi Gong that Xing State can have today's peace. , Now is the time for me to repay my favor, and the matter of negotiating with Master Jin, even though it is on me."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi smiled and said, "Duke Xing is so kind, it's really hard for our country of Qi to repay you. If Duke Xing wants anything, I have it for you, just ask for it."
Xing Hou was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, then he laughed and said, "There's no need for that."
Wu Jiao looked at Xing Hou and paused for a moment, he must have thought of something just now, but he didn't say it out.
Xing Hou thought about it for a while, and said: "The digging of the canal happens to be dug in spring, and the water rises in summer, and the power is the most powerful. Now it's spring. I don't think this matter can be delayed. I will set off to explain it to Duke Jin in a few days. , talk about peace this morning, don't miss the important thing."
Qihou stood up, bowed his hands and said: "I'm sorry for Mr. Xing. Tomorrow, I will be alone in the palace on the road. I will hold a banquet for Mr. Xing. Congratulate Mr. Xing, and success will come soon."
Xing Hou also cupped his hands and said: "Qi Gong is too polite, this matter is settled like this, I will go back and figure it out, then I will not bother Qi Gongzi to rest, so that I can recuperate, I will leave first."
Wu Jiu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xing, go slowly."
Xing Hou quickly backed out, Qi Hou watched Xing Hou go out with his hands behind his back, his back disappeared into the distance of the small bedroom, he smiled lowly, and said: "Xing Gong is indeed a gentleman, no one else can compare, if he just now He made a condition, and Gu Zhen didn't know whether to agree to him or not."
Hearing what Qi Hou said, Wu Jiu couldn't help asking: "Does your lord understand the conditions that Duke Xing wants to raise?"
Qi Hou came over, sat on the couch, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Wu Jiao's nose, Wu Jiao felt that his high nose bridge was about to be pinched into a flat nose bridge by him, and at some point Qi Hou added another pinch nose fault.
Qihou smiled and said: "Gu naturally knows, that is, the second brother, although he is ice-snow and smart, but he has never been enlightened, and has always been unable to understand the feelings of others."
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he thought that Qihou made himself sound like a lover?But Marquis Qi is indeed a saint of love, and there are nine wives.
I heard Qi Hou say: "Mr. Xing, I am afraid that just now he wanted to ask Gu Yan'e."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he was startled, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened a little, as if he could not regain his senses for a long time. When Qi Hou saw him like this, he laughed instantly, and came over and stretched out his hand to pinch Wu Jiao's neck. Cheek, said with a smile: "Second brother looks so cute."
Wu Jiu quickly rubbed his cheeks, and said, "This...Your Majesty, where did these words come from?"
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Gu just said that the second brother didn't understand, and the second brother really couldn't see it? Mr. Xing was interested in Yan'e. If it weren't for Mr. Xing being a gentleman, I'm afraid he would have taken Yan'e away."
Qi Hou paused, and then said: "Gu has always treated Yan'e as his own daughter. Second brother, if Xing openly begged for Yan'e from Gu, should Gu give it or not?"
Wu Jiu was at a loss for words for a while, and Qi Hou said again: "In my heart... I don't want to give it."
Wu Jiu listened, his eyelids twitched, his eyeballs turned back and forth, wondering whether Qihou really liked Yan'e, Qihou stared at Yan'e the first time he saw Yan'e, and wanted to accept Yan'e as a slave daughter.
When Wu Jiu thought about it, he felt that Marquis Qi was too heavy-handed, and he wanted to be a daughter or something...
Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiao was in a daze, and he didn't know what Wu Jiao was thinking, but he thought that Wu Jiao must have lost his mind, so he hurriedly woke Wu Jiao up and said, "Where is Second Brother thinking?"
Wu Jiu quickly said, "No."
Qi Hou said: "Gu really loves Yan'e from the bottom of his heart. Yan'e is obedient and loyal..."
This is not false, it was summed up by Qi Hou in his previous life. Although Yan E is timid, she will stand up at critical moments. Qi Hou is a person with clear grievances. From the matter of Guan Yiwu, he I always wanted to repay Yan'e, and wanted to make Yan'e a princess, but unfortunately Yan'e also missed the point and didn't agree.
Qi Hou said quietly: "It's not that Mr. Xing is bad. Mr. Xing is a gentleman, and he is much stronger than Gu, but Xing is the only country... Xing is located in the northern border, and it is a small country. Yan'e married in the past, if she was wronged in the past, then it's the best way to live."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu said, "Yan'e is still young, so I would like to ask her opinion on this matter, besides, whether she is wronged or not, I personally think that it is not the size of the country, the breadth of the land can be measured, if Mr. Xing is really A gentleman has only one wife, and he will die from one person, no matter how small the country is, his wife will not be wronged, isn't your majesty?"
When Qi Hou heard this, he was first deceived.
But let him wrap his hands around Qihou's neck, Wu Jiu couldn't do this, because this movement was really strange, and Wu Jiao felt particularly nasty for no reason.
Marquis Qi entered the small bedroom with Wu Jiu in his arms, walked directly into the inner hall, put Wu Jiao on the couch, then pulled the quilt to cover Wu Jiao, stretched out his hand to cover Wu Jiao's forehead, tried it was his Body temperature, and then said: "Call the medical officer over."
The eunuch responded, and hurried to call the medical officer, Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Jiu, there is no need to call..."
Before he finished speaking, Qihou put his index finger on Wu Jiu's lips, because Wu Jiu was just talking, and almost put his index finger in his mouth, he was startled, and the content of his speech came to an abrupt end stopped.
Qi Hou laughed, squinted his eyes and said, "Shh...Second brother is talking to Gu again, huh?"
"Yeah" What a big head, does Qi Hou think he is the president who flirts with girls in idol dramas?so nasal...
Wu Jiu's face turned blue in an instant, and he turned his head slightly to keep Qihou's fingers from pressing on his lips, and taking advantage of the turning of his head, he quickly raised his hand to wipe his mouth.
Qi Hou sat down on the couch next to him, and said with a faint smile, "Second Brother came here when he was sick, and came up and scolded Gu all over the place. Thinking about it, whose attention is this? It's Cao GUI. Is that the bastard's idea?"
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, just now in front of his friend, Qihou's attitude was so ambiguous and gentle, once he turned his head, he wanted to "make trouble", although it was not Cao GUI's idea to scold Qihou, but It was indeed Cao GUI who came to find Wu Jiu.
After all, there are fundamental differences between Cao GUI, Gongsun Xipeng, Wang Zicheng's father, and Shi Su. Talk about Qihou's attack on Weiguo.
And what about the prince becoming a father?Because of succession issues, when the Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, Prince Chengfu ran to the State of Qi. As for what Marquis Qi said, it was an imperial decree, and he was determined not to disobey it, so naturally he would not come to Wu Jiu.
Needless to say, Gongsun Xipeng, he seems to be an honest person, but he is different from Shi Su, because after 20 years of following, Gongsun Xipeng values loyalty, stupid loyalty, and forbearance. He was entangled in the matter of attacking Weiguo, but he was determined not to go to Wu Jiao.
Then after all this is calculated, only Cao GUI is an old fritter. Cao GUI was in Liangfu Mountain at that time, and the incident of letting Qihou cut firewood is still vivid in his mind. A broken jar.
After thinking about it, Qi Hou understood, and said with a faint smile, "That bastard Cao GUI."
Wu Jiu said, "Jiu himself heard about it, please don't misunderstand General Cao."
When Qihou heard this, he said, "Oh?", and said with a smile, "It seems that Cao GUI still has some ability to let the second brother protect him like this? Sigh... Gu is really delicious."
Wu Jiu secretly looked at Qihou with an idiot expression again, wondering what exactly Qihou ate wrongly, his speech was very abnormal, sour, it made people get goosebumps all over, the most important thing was because of Qihou Being used to being moody, Wu Jiu didn't know which of his words was true.
Qihou smiled and said: "Forget it, Second Brother is good to rest. Tomorrow morning, the court will discuss the matter of digging the canal. Is Second Brother satisfied this time?"
Wu Jiu didn't take it well when he heard him speak, and every mouthful was sour and watery, which made Wu Jiu's skin crawl, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Qihou said with a smile: "There are two such virtuous ministers. How dare Gu not be wise? If you want to do whatever you want a little bit, even Bei who was scolded by the second brother can't find it. You should say it in front of the minister. What about the second brother?"
Wu Jiu coughed, quickly subdued and said, "Jiao just lost his composure for a while, please punish him."
As he said, he hurriedly wanted to get up from the couch, so he knelt down on the ground. Qihou quickly reached out to stop him, took Wu Jiu's arm, brought him back to the couch, and said, "Second brother, what are you doing? I didn't blame my second brother, I was just thinking..."
Smiling, Qi Hou stretched out his hand to smooth Wu Jiu's black hair, stroked it lightly in his hand, and said softly, "It's just... I've lived alone for so long, I really haven't heard such vehement advice from others."
Wu Jiao thought to himself, after all, didn't he blame himself for speaking too harshly?When he said that in a roundabout way, Wu Jiao secretly rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Jiao is impolite."
Qihou said with a smile: "I've said it all, I don't mean to blame my second brother, so I don't need to apologize anymore."
While they were talking, the medical officer outside trotted in, first asked Qihou and Wu Jiu, and then came to ask for pulse, Wu Jiu still had a low fever, so he prescribed medicine again, and asked the eunuch to make soup.
Marquis Qi didn't leave either, he asked Wu Jiu carefully about his condition, the medical officer gave the same answer, it was because Wu Jiu was in poor health, so he needed to be taken care of, he couldn't stand the cold, and he couldn't get angry, Can't be in a hurry.
If Wu Jiu's physical condition is so poor, it's not because Young Master Jiu vomited blood in the city of Linzi angrily when he was fighting for the throne with the Marquis of Qi, it's because of Gongsun Xipeng.
Qihou ordered Gongsun Xipeng to stop Young Master Jiu from entering the city in Linzi City. Young Master Jiu saw that he was only a wall away from the Hou position, but he was unable to enter the city, and was ridiculed by Gongsun Xipeng. He only wanted to be the Marquis of Qi all his life. Now There is no fate, and he vomits blood naturally.
Others thought they just vomited blood and fainted, but they were actually pissed off, and Wu Jiao filled in the vacancy. Young Master Jiu was so pissed off, can the body that Wu Jiao filled in get better?
In addition, everyone escorted Wu Jiao to quickly retreat back to Lu State. The road was bumpy and tiring, and there was no way to heal it, so the root cause of the disease remained. The general trend of Jiu is gone, and Qi has a new Marquis, so no one is allowed to treat Wu Jiu's illness, and the root of the disease has settled.
In those days, wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold, if you take the wrong medicine, you can die directly. Chinese medicine is not very developed. It is not easy for Wu Jiu to develop such a body.
The medical officer prescribed the medicine, Qi Hou took the medical officer to ask about the situation in the outer hall, Wu Jiu was lying on the "dragon bed", feeling that the bed was bigger than the other rooms, the bedroom was indeed the bedroom, otherwise there would be so many people Even if you break your head, you have to fight for the position.
Wu Jiu rolled around on it, rolled up the quilt and hugged it in his arms. The quilt was also softer than his own, and it was still fragrant, with a faint scent of medicine and flowers.
Wu Jiu was rolling on the bed, but Qi Hou had finished asking, walked in from the outside, just in time to see him rolling around, still hugging the quilt, rolling and rolling, tucked it into his arms and hugged him tightly, as if Like a child.
Qihou couldn't hold it back, and even laughed out loud with a "puchi", Wu Jiao was startled, sat up quickly, and pushed the quilt, as if it was the quilt that was entangled with Wu Jiao just now, rather than Wu Jiao tossing the quilt.
Qihou held back a smile and walked in, he didn't know that the second brother still had such a childish side.
Qihou came in, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Second brother, remember to stay in bed these days, don't stay in bed, and you will be well for a few days."
Wu Jiu said, "The court meeting tomorrow..."
Qi Hou said: "This is not good, the second brother is still in the care, and I will bring your opinion to the ministers, so the second brother doesn't have to go, the body is important, you know?"
Hearing his gentle and watery words, Wu Jiu felt a little shivering, so he quickly responded, "Yes."
Qi Hou said again: "The soup and medicine will come in a while, the second brother will rest for a while."
Qi Hou helped Wu Jiu lie down, covered him with a quilt, and then sat down in front of the desk next to him, looked at the documents, and did not leave.
Wu Jiu felt a little stressed all of a sudden, isn't Marquis Qi going to leave?What have you been doing here?
Wu Jiu pretended to be asleep in silence, and Qi Hou read the documents in silence. After a while, the eunuch reported that the soup was ready.
Qihou hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring it in."
He said, looking back, he happened to see Wu Jiao sitting up from the couch, maybe he was a little sleepy, when he heard that the soup was ready, he wrinkled his face with a reluctant look on his face.
When Qihou saw it, he laughed and said, "Drink the medicine obediently, and eat two pieces of dried fruit in a while."
Just as Wu Jiao fell asleep, he rubbed his eyes in a daze. At this moment, he saw a person walking in from the outside holding a decoction respectfully. It wasn't some eunuch. Wu Jiao took a closer look, good guy, It's a trial friend.
Shenyou stretched out his hands to hold the decoction, and walked in respectfully from outside. Qihou also saw him and said, "Shenyou, why are you here? You have become an eunuch?"
Shenyou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, You came here specially to deliver soup and medicine to the Young Master. Just now, what Young Master said, enlightened you, and made You feel how short-sighted your previous opinion was. After listening to the Young Master, You have benefited a lot, after thinking about it, I must thank the young master for his enlightenment, so I personally brought the soup and medicine."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was very impressed. This friend of the interrogator's flattery almost hit his back, and there was a sound of "dong dong dong".
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "Why, Doctor Zhong agrees with Jiu's point of view?"
Shenyou immediately said: "You only have the king and the state of Qi in your heart, so when you heard that the state of Wei has acted shamelessly and messed up your position, you would advocate war with the state of Wei. , It’s not the same, you admire the young master from the bottom of your heart, and want to plead guilty to the young master for your recklessness just now.”
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but Qi Hou said: "Okay, friend Shen, you also put down the medicine for the sake of our great Qi country, you should avoid it first, the young master needs to calm down and take care of you, when the court meeting tomorrow , and then you can talk about your own thoughts with all the gentlemen."
"Yes, friend Shen understands, that friend will leave first."
As Shenyou said, he put down the medicine bowl, and then retreated respectfully. Wu Jiao watched as Shenyou retreated, frowned, and glanced at Qihou.
Qihou's posture clearly does not want to punish Shenyou. This Shenyou is a flatterer. When Qihou wants to attack Weiguo, Shenyou supports Qihou to attack Weiguo. Anyone who says not to fight will be anxious, but Just now, Wu Jiu "sorred" Qi Hou for a while. The interrogator saw that Qi Hou was not angry, but treated Wu Jiu with gentleness. He immediately changed his strategy and began to say that the strategy of digging the canal was good, as if the one who said Wu Jiu was a The spies of the State of Lu are not like him at all.
This is obviously a typical sycophantic sycophant, where there is interest and which side to pour.
Qi Hou took the medicine bowl and walked over, sat on the edge of the couch, handed the medicine bowl to Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, drink it while it's hot, it will be colder and the medicine will lose its effect, and it will be even more bitter."
Wu Jiu had no choice but to bring it over, close his eyes, and drank the medicine. Qihou hurriedly handed over the dried fruit, took the empty bowl, put it aside, and said with a smile: "What is the second brother Guzhi thinking...The friend Shen, A sycophant is not a good person at first glance, this gentleman likes to listen to others sycophanting him, he is quite confused, isn't he?"
When Wu Jiao heard this, the dried fruit almost rolled down his throat, coughed twice, and then said: "Jiao..."
Qi Hou raised his hand to stop his words, and said, "Second brother, don't deny it in a hurry, I know, that's what you think."
Qihou smiled, put the empty bowl on the case with a "do" sound, and then said with a smile: "Friend Shen, he is a rare loyal minister."
Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou strangely, Qi Hou smiled and said: "You Shenyou has been watching Gu's face all his life, because he wants to seek benefits from Gu, he is an old Qi, and he wants to plot Interest, so I only say that he is a loyal minister. If he wants to fight anyone, he will say that it is good to fight, and he will say that it is right to fight. If he only wants to collect taxes, he will think of a way to name the tax collection. Let’s just talk about this battle. If Qi State loses, then the crime is not Gu’s, but Juyou’s, because he strongly recommended Gu Xing’s soldiers to attack Wei State, second brother, do you understand?”
Wu Jue looked at Qihou intently, Qihou laughed and said: "To put it simply, Shenyou is capable, talented, and accomplished, but he spent eight percent of his ability on shooting orphans. He has the interests he wants, and he also has the loyalty in return for his interests, but his loyalty is a little slippery, and Gu also has places to use him, occasionally listening to Listen to good things, second brother, who doesn't like to hear good things?"
Wu Jiu listened to Qihou's words, and understood in his heart that Qihou was not impulsive and confused at all, but he understood too much in his heart. He wanted to fight Weiguo, and this battle must be fought. No matter what method, Weiguo challenged Qihou's bottom line was broken.
Just when Qihou was furious, everyone told Qihou that he could not fight and could not fight, and naturally he was even more angry.Qihou is no longer a boy. He has been Qihou for two lifetimes, and he has never seen any battle that he cannot fight. Although this battle may not be victorious, it will definitely damage the country of Wei.
Only Shenyou stood up for the fight. Although Qihou knew that Shenyou was just following his own words and guessing his own meaning, but with Shenyou's support, many ministers would also look at Qihou's face when they were discussed in the court. The battle is settled.
Marquis Qi doesn’t trust friends, but for kings, they like to be flattered by others. Looking around, there are so many kings in history, which one is not headstrong and conceited, and Marquis Qi is not immune, especially the higher he stands , the more unavoidable.
Fortunately, Marquis Qi can distinguish clearly what flattery is.
Wu Jiu didn't speak, and Qihou said again: "This man, Shenyou, has a very sharp tongue, didn't the second brother see it just now? He is still useful. If the canal project is successful, the state of Wei will definitely negotiate a peace alliance with Gu. When the time comes Let Shenyou go to negotiate with the big bank, he is quick-spoken, and let him challenge Weiguo, isn't that good?"
Wu Jiu thought for a while, then said, "Why doesn't your lord let Jiu go to negotiate?"
Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu, smiled, and said, "Because I'm lonely."
Wu Jiu's scalp was numb, thinking about Qihou talking, he suddenly had another convulsion.I saw Qihou gently caressing Wu Jiu's hair, hooking a strand of Wu Jiu's hair behind his ears and pinning it up, and said with a smile: "Gu is speaking the truth, the second brother is so transparent and intelligent. Gu wants to tie you by my side all the time, so I can feel at ease. Besides, the second brother is not in good health, so I don’t feel at ease when I ask you to go to the peace talks... Another point, did the second brother forget Wei Wei? What kind of person is Hou? We were almost put under house arrest by Marquis Wei last time. Regardless of whether Marquis Wei is in good faith or not, there are risks. Also clear."
When Wu Jiu heard this, Marquis Qi thought so long-term.
Qihou helped him tidy up his hair, and said: "Okay, second brother, don't worry about those things. I told you that you are worrying about it, but second brother still doesn't admit it. After drinking the medicine, lie down and sleep obediently. I will call again after dinner." Get up, take care of yourself for a few days, and taking care of your body is the real thing."
Wu Jiu was relieved when he heard what Qi Hou said so clearly, and he lay down honestly. Qi Hou covered him with a quilt, and then said in a low voice: "Go to the small bedroom next door. I won't disturb your rest. If you have something to do, call Si People come to know the lonely."
Wu Jiao felt a little wrong, why Qihou's attitude was so wrong, except for his own mother, no one had spoken to him so gently when he was sick, it was very wrong.
However, Wu Jiao didn't know if the decoction had the effect of sleeping. He felt sleepy listening to Qi Hou's gentle and deep words, so sleepy he nodded, didn't speak, just closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Hou said that the dinner was called Wu Jiao, so Wu Jiao slept very sweetly, and fell asleep recklessly, until he was so hungry that he didn't open his eyes.
When I opened my eyes, Marquis Qi was still not in the palace, and there were eunuchs and maids guarding beside him. This was different from Wu Jiu's house. Wu Jiu only had Ziqing and Yan'e by his side, and two people were enough. As a result, this As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a group of eunuchs and maids on the left and right, all staring at Wu Jiao to sleep.
The moment Wu Jiu opened his eyes, several eunuchs and maids asked with their eyes if they had any orders.
Wu Jiu suddenly felt that it was scary to be stared at while sleeping, so he turned over and sat up. An eunuch hurried over, put a cloak on Wu Jiu, and said, "My lord, are you up yet?"
Wu Jiu said, "Do you want dinner?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "My lord, it's time for breakfast."
"what?"
Wu Jiao was startled, it turned out that it was not night, but morning, and he fell asleep in the hallway, Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiu was sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake him up.
Moreover, there was a court meeting early this morning, and Marquis Qi left early, leaving the eunuch to take care of Wu Jiao, let Wu Jiao sleep a little longer, put the breakfast on the fire to warm up, and wait for Wu Jiao to wake up before eating.
When Wu Jiu heard this, the court proceedings had already begun, and he slept soundly enough.
The eunuch waited on Wu Jiu to wash and dress, and then brought him breakfast, which he ate in the small bedroom. Wu Jiao felt as if he had suddenly become an "emperor", with so many people surrounding him, it was actually quite awkward .
Wu Jiu stayed in the small dormitory because Marquis Qi refused to let him go and insisted on recovering from his illness before leaving. Ziqing and Yan'e instantly seemed unemployed because there were too many eunuchs and maids in the dormitory. I took a little vacation.
Yan'e was very free that day. Seeing the flowers in the garden in full bloom, she suddenly thought that the young master's scented tea and fruit tea seemed to be running out, so she thought that while she was free, she would quickly pick some flowers and dry them for storage.
Yan'e was pulling flowers in the garden with a small basket, because the weather was good, Yan'e was young and liked to play, while picking flowers, she used small flower branches to push out a bunch of small wreaths, just thinking it was fun, when she suddenly heard someone behind her Laughter, startled, and quickly turned around to take a look.
It turned out to be Marquis Xing.
Xing Hou was wearing a gorgeous robe and a white jade crown on his head. He did not know when he stood behind Yan E. Xing Hou was a martial arts practitioner. Yan E didn't understand these things at all, so naturally he didn't notice him coming.
Yan'e was taken aback, Xing Hou quickly said: "I'm sorry, I was reckless and scared Miss Yan'e."
Yan'e heard him speak politely and politely, and felt very strange, after all, she was a slave, who would call herself a girl.
Yan'e asked Xing Hou a gift, and then wanted to run away with the basket, but Xing Hou smiled and said, "What is this girl, she is so beautiful."
Yan'e looked down and saw that Xing Hou was referring to the little wreath on her hand, so Yan'e could only say: "The servant girl made it up by herself, I made Xing Gong a joke."
Xing Hou smiled and said, "No, no, Miss Yan'e is ingenious, this weave is so beautiful, can you give it to me?"
Yan E looked at the simple garland in her hand, and then at Xing Hou. Xing Hou smiled sincerely. Yan E really didn't understand, but such a garland was worthless, so she gave it to Xing Hou.
Marquis Xing held it in his hand, with a look of liking in every possible way, and said: "Thank you, Miss Yan'e, I will take this back to Xing Country later."
The two of them were speechless for a while, Xing Hou said at this time: "I heard that Mr. Qi is ill, but I just went to the Mr.'s side, why didn't I see anyone, does Miss Yan'e know where Mr. Qi is?"
Yan E said: "Back to Mr. Xing, the young master is in the small bedroom. Because the young master has been feverish for several days, the emperor has already taken the young master to the small bedroom to raise him. If Xing Gong is visiting sick, he can go to the small bedroom."
When Xing Hou heard this, he was a little taken aback, and said, "Small bedroom?"
Xing Kingdom also has small sleeping palaces, and every country has small sleeping palaces. The emperor has four small sleeping palaces, and the princes have two small sleeping palaces. They are all places to sleep and rest, which is the standard for kings.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once said a very famous saying - How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch.
Although there is no Zhao Kuangyin in this era, Zhao Kuangyin just summed up the king's heart. Which king's couch can let others sleep?
Although Xing Hou is the monarch of a small country, he was a little taken aback when he heard this at first, and then he smiled and said: "I really admire Qi Gong, he is open-minded, I really admire it."
Yan E didn't understand Xing Hou's words, she looked at Xing Hou strangely, Xing Hou smiled again and said: "Then I will go to visit the sick first, and I will bid farewell to Miss Yan E first."
Yan'e hurriedly saluted, watched Xing Hou leave, and only after Xing Hou walked away, said in a low voice, "That's strange."
Xing Hou walked to Qi Hou's small sleeping hall, he let someone know, and went in. When he entered, Qi Hou happened to be there, and he was talking to Wu Jiu about the court meeting.
The matter of digging the canal was basically passed by the court. Naturally, people like Wang Zicheng, father, grandson, Xipeng, Cao GUI and Shi Su agreed, and there were also the slick tongue of Shenyou. As a result, the ministers also agreed, but the problem was solved. in sight.
Guo Guo is a small country, and they absolutely dare not provoke Wei Guo. I am afraid that the Wei Guo will attack them in turn, so we must not start digging ditches from Guo Guo.
Then only the state of Jin is left, and you can't go to the land of the Wei state to dig ditches.
However, the relationship between Jin State and Qi State is not good. If Jin State leases a piece of land to Qi State to dig a canal to flood Wei State, Jin State may not agree to such an offending thing.
It is very important who will be the envoy to the state of Jin and let the Marquis of Jin agree to borrow the land. Of course, in the court, for the sake of meritorious service, the friend of the trial has devoted himself to death, so he quickly asked Ying to persuade the Marquis of Jin.
However, Qi Hou only said that he would consider it, and did not immediately agree.
Wu Jiu didn't know who Shenyou was, after all, he had never memorized history, but Qihou knew, after all, he had lived his whole life.
Shenyou can also be regarded as a hero of the state of Qi. In Guanzi's book, the person Shenyou is also recorded. The name of Shenyou is listed after the five heroes of Duke Huan of Qi, and he is also a rare talent.
However, each of these talents has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, there is also a talent recorded in the tube alongside Shenyou, and that person is called Wei Kaifang.
Who is Wei Kaifang?That was a famous person in history, who starved to death the Spring and Autumn Overlord Duke Huan of Qi together with Diao, the eunuch of Yi Ya.Wei Kaifang was the son of Wei State, and later defected to Qi State.
Some people are treacherous and treacherous, but they are really talented, and Shenyou is not considered treacherous, they just like to flirt.
Shenyou is talented and eloquent, but he is a little slippery. Qihou can be regarded as a person who can recognize people and make good use of them, and make use of their strengths to avoid weaknesses. Shenyou is a great official. The Daxingren are the same, except that Wu Jiu was a special envoy at that time, but Shenyou was not a special envoy, he was engaged in diplomacy and was subordinate to Gongsun Xipeng.
In his previous life, Marquis Qi asked Shenyou to be in charge of diplomacy, which happened to be Jin, so asking Shenyou to negotiate with Jin was actually a good choice, but Qihou felt that he was not sure, and wanted to be more sure. In fact, he had a choice in mind.
At this time, the person who chose him came to the door by himself.
I heard the eunuch say: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xing is asking to see you."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi smiled and said, "Please come in quickly."
Xing Hou quickly walked in from the outside, clasped his fists and said, "Qi Gong, Qi Gongzi."
Wu Jiu was still on the couch, he got up quickly and saluted, saying: "Jiao has seen Mr. Xing."
Xing Hou hurriedly said: "Sit down quickly, I heard that Mr. Qi is ill, and I came here to visit him. How can I make Mr. Qi tired? Sit down quickly."
Qi Hou personally supported Wu Jiu to sit down, and let Wu Jiao sit on the couch. In fact, Wu Jiu's buttocks were going to be numb. He found a chance to stand up for a while, but was gently and considerately pushed down by Qi Hou.
Wu Jiu had no choice but to sit down, Qi Hou covered him with a quilt, and said to Xing Hou with a smile: "Xing Gong took the time to visit the sick today, Gu is really grateful."
Xing Hou said with a smile: "Young Master Qi and I hit it off right away, so naturally I'm here to visit the doctor. How can I be grateful to say that Duke Qi is serious."
Qihou smiled and said, "Hey, is this in Mr. Xing's hands...?"
Xing Hou looked down, and said a little embarrassedly: "Just now I met Miss Yan'e in the garden. Seeing that she is making this up, I thought it looked good at the moment, so I begged for it with a shy face."
When Wu Jiu heard it, Marquis Xing actually liked flowers?I really can't see it.
Qi Hou squinted his eyes, his heart was clear, and he said with a smile: "Yan'e is naughty, please take care of Mr. Xing."
Xing Hou waved his hands again and again, and when he mentioned Yan'e, an indescribable smile appeared on his face, and said: "Miss Yan'e is ice-snow smart and gentle, she should be naughty at her age, not like me , soaking in government affairs every day, even if you want to be naughty, you don't have the idea."
Qi Hou laughed and said, "Xing Gong is right."
The two were chatting and laughing, Wu Jiao gave Qi Hou a strange look, always felt that Qi Hou wanted to cheat Xing Hou, that smile was very creepy.
Sure enough, I saw Qi Hou smiling and smiling, and suddenly stopped laughing. Those who didn't know thought he was going into shock suddenly, but Qi Hou sighed deeply, with a very sad expression on his face.
When Xing Hou saw it, he quickly said, "Duke Qi, is there something bothering you? If there is anything I can help, Duke Qi just ask."
Qi Hou also pretended to evade it, saying: "This is not very good. After all, it is about my Qi country. In fact, alas... it is really annoying."
When Xing Hou heard this, he said: "At that time, it was also an internal matter of our Xing country that someone secretly attacked our Xing country, but Qi Gong helped him out of righteousness. He didn't ask our Xing country for the money for the carriage, horses, food, grass, and troops. I admire this great benevolence and righteousness, and now that there is something wrong with the Qi State, I will definitely help it with all my strength, and I would like to ask Duke Qi to talk about it."
Qi Hou heard that Xing Hou was so righteous, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Then I will say it, but it is actually just some trivial things that are not worth mentioning."
As he said that, he talked about Wei Guo breaking the contract and provoking Qi Guo. Xinghou is the new king. Said: "This Marquis Wei, how can he do such a thing?"
The Marquis of Qi said faintly: "He, the Marquis of Wei, deceives no one in our country of Qi. If our country of Qi doesn't give him a look, wouldn't it be too weak and incompetent?"
Xing Hou immediately said: "It should be so."
At this time, Marquis Qi explained Wu Jiu's attention, Marquis Xing immediately showed joy, and said: "Young Master Qi is a great talent, I really admire him, this method is very tight, it is very tight, as expected, he will win without using troops. This is the great victory! Your son is a great talent!"
Wu Jiu was praised several times by him, and he was very sincere, so he felt a little embarrassed, Qi Hou continued to dig a hole and said: "It's a pity that no one in our country of Qi can implement such a good plan."
Xing Hou said: "This...how do you explain this?"
Marquis Qi told about the bad relationship between Qi and Jin, Xing Hou clapped his hands suddenly, and said: "This is easy to handle, I have always been on good terms with Duke Jin, and Duke Jin is selling my face, I will go with Duke Jin." Say, isn’t that enough? It’s a success!”
Wu Jiao said in his heart, very good, he took the bait, and there is no bait yet, Qihou is worthy of being the descendant of Jiang Taigong, Gou'er was so straight that he took the bait!
But Qihou showed a troubled expression, and said: "This... this is not very good, to trouble Mr. Xing so much."
Xing Hou waved his hand and said: "Duke Qi, don't bother me any more. Without the help of Duke Qi and Qi State's soldiers and horses, Xing State would have been defeated by the people of Qi. It is all thanks to Qi Gong that Xing State can have today's peace. , Now is the time for me to repay my favor, and the matter of negotiating with Master Jin, even though it is on me."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi smiled and said, "Duke Xing is so kind, it's really hard for our country of Qi to repay you. If Duke Xing wants anything, I have it for you, just ask for it."
Xing Hou was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, then he laughed and said, "There's no need for that."
Wu Jiao looked at Xing Hou and paused for a moment, he must have thought of something just now, but he didn't say it out.
Xing Hou thought about it for a while, and said: "The digging of the canal happens to be dug in spring, and the water rises in summer, and the power is the most powerful. Now it's spring. I don't think this matter can be delayed. I will set off to explain it to Duke Jin in a few days. , talk about peace this morning, don't miss the important thing."
Qihou stood up, bowed his hands and said: "I'm sorry for Mr. Xing. Tomorrow, I will be alone in the palace on the road. I will hold a banquet for Mr. Xing. Congratulate Mr. Xing, and success will come soon."
Xing Hou also cupped his hands and said: "Qi Gong is too polite, this matter is settled like this, I will go back and figure it out, then I will not bother Qi Gongzi to rest, so that I can recuperate, I will leave first."
Wu Jiu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xing, go slowly."
Xing Hou quickly backed out, Qi Hou watched Xing Hou go out with his hands behind his back, his back disappeared into the distance of the small bedroom, he smiled lowly, and said: "Xing Gong is indeed a gentleman, no one else can compare, if he just now He made a condition, and Gu Zhen didn't know whether to agree to him or not."
Hearing what Qi Hou said, Wu Jiu couldn't help asking: "Does your lord understand the conditions that Duke Xing wants to raise?"
Qi Hou came over, sat on the couch, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Wu Jiao's nose, Wu Jiao felt that his high nose bridge was about to be pinched into a flat nose bridge by him, and at some point Qi Hou added another pinch nose fault.
Qihou smiled and said: "Gu naturally knows, that is, the second brother, although he is ice-snow and smart, but he has never been enlightened, and has always been unable to understand the feelings of others."
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he thought that Qihou made himself sound like a lover?But Marquis Qi is indeed a saint of love, and there are nine wives.
I heard Qi Hou say: "Mr. Xing, I am afraid that just now he wanted to ask Gu Yan'e."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he was startled, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened a little, as if he could not regain his senses for a long time. When Qi Hou saw him like this, he laughed instantly, and came over and stretched out his hand to pinch Wu Jiao's neck. Cheek, said with a smile: "Second brother looks so cute."
Wu Jiu quickly rubbed his cheeks, and said, "This...Your Majesty, where did these words come from?"
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Gu just said that the second brother didn't understand, and the second brother really couldn't see it? Mr. Xing was interested in Yan'e. If it weren't for Mr. Xing being a gentleman, I'm afraid he would have taken Yan'e away."
Qi Hou paused, and then said: "Gu has always treated Yan'e as his own daughter. Second brother, if Xing openly begged for Yan'e from Gu, should Gu give it or not?"
Wu Jiu was at a loss for words for a while, and Qi Hou said again: "In my heart... I don't want to give it."
Wu Jiu listened, his eyelids twitched, his eyeballs turned back and forth, wondering whether Qihou really liked Yan'e, Qihou stared at Yan'e the first time he saw Yan'e, and wanted to accept Yan'e as a slave daughter.
When Wu Jiu thought about it, he felt that Marquis Qi was too heavy-handed, and he wanted to be a daughter or something...
Qi Hou saw that Wu Jiao was in a daze, and he didn't know what Wu Jiao was thinking, but he thought that Wu Jiao must have lost his mind, so he hurriedly woke Wu Jiao up and said, "Where is Second Brother thinking?"
Wu Jiu quickly said, "No."
Qi Hou said: "Gu really loves Yan'e from the bottom of his heart. Yan'e is obedient and loyal..."
This is not false, it was summed up by Qi Hou in his previous life. Although Yan E is timid, she will stand up at critical moments. Qi Hou is a person with clear grievances. From the matter of Guan Yiwu, he I always wanted to repay Yan'e, and wanted to make Yan'e a princess, but unfortunately Yan'e also missed the point and didn't agree.
Qi Hou said quietly: "It's not that Mr. Xing is bad. Mr. Xing is a gentleman, and he is much stronger than Gu, but Xing is the only country... Xing is located in the northern border, and it is a small country. Yan'e married in the past, if she was wronged in the past, then it's the best way to live."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu said, "Yan'e is still young, so I would like to ask her opinion on this matter, besides, whether she is wronged or not, I personally think that it is not the size of the country, the breadth of the land can be measured, if Mr. Xing is really A gentleman has only one wife, and he will die from one person, no matter how small the country is, his wife will not be wronged, isn't your majesty?"
When Qi Hou heard this, he was first deceived.
