spring and autumn officials

Prince Zhu'er made such a big mess out of Wu Jiang's birthday banquet, the grandson and grandson didn't feel anything, but Zheng Bowusheng, with an ugly face, a splitting headache, and almost fainted on the spot.

Zheng Bozhen had always suffered from head ailments, and now in the bedroom, the medical officials knelt on the ground, but they couldn't cure Zheng Bo's head ailments, and prescribed countless decoctions, all of which were old prescriptions. Changed again, when Zheng Bo saw these prescriptions, he had already memorized them fluently, and swept his sleeves angrily, "Pacha!", and directly swept all the ornaments on the table, knocking over the floor.

When Jizhong came in from the outside, he heard the sound of shouting and smashing things inside. The eunuch hurried over and said in a stack, "Master Ji, go and have a look quickly, your majesty lost his temper!"

The medical officers couldn't cure Zheng Bowei's head disease. In fact, the head disease was mostly Zheng Bowei's "psychological reason". , Too much pressure, busy with official duties, and rarely rest, as time goes by, a slight disturbance can easily trigger a headache, and now this headache is already a chronic illness.

As for Zheng Boweisheng, as the monarch, others thought that the monarch of Zheng Guo was the monarch of a big country, and he was bound to be much more nourishing and chic than a small country that lived in a gap. tidy.

Just like right now, it is clearly the mess of the crown prince Zhuer and the women of Qi State. They should be ugly, and the worst is Qi State. But now the most ugly thing is not others, but Zheng Guo's face.

Both the grandson and grandson were not in a hurry, after all, Zheng Bowu had promised this matter himself, and even the grandson and grandson just didn't want to marry, but Zheng Bo's face was severely slapped.

Ji Zhong walked in, waved his hands, and the medical officers who were kneeling on the ground quickly got up, scrambled and ran out of the bedroom, and ran for their lives.

For a while, only Zheng Bo and Ji Zhong were left in the bedroom.

Zheng Bowusheng was leaning on the soft mat, it was winter, and a brazier was lit next to it, making a slight crackling sound, Zheng Boweisheng leaned on the soft mat, put his hand on his forehead and gently rubbed it.

Ji Zhong's eyes were sharp, and he saw the incense cauldron rolling on the ground at a glance, walked up immediately, put the incense cauldron on the ground and the ashes scattered on the ground, turned around and left the bedroom, handed the incense cauldron to the eunuch, and said softly : "How many times have I said it? When you have a headache, you are most afraid of fragrance, but if you burn incense for a little bit, you will get dizzy. Get rid of it quickly, and don't do it again."

"Yes, I'm going right now, my lord." The eunuch responded one after another, and hurried away with Xiang Ding and Ashes in his arms.

Ji Zhong quickly returned to his bedroom, Zheng Bozhen was still the same as before, with a headache slightly frowning, his voice was hoarse, and he said lightly: "Qi Guo is doing well, to be so embarrassing to Gu."

Ji Zhong said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhong privately thinks that this is not Qi Gong's original intention."

"What?" Zheng Bowu raised his eyelids and said, "You still speak for the people of Qi?"

Sacrifice Zhong respectfully said: "Zhong is not speaking for the people of Qi, but for the sake of the king. The state of Qi should be responsible for the matter between the prince of Qi and the daughter of the country, but... the Duke of Qi must not know about this matter, I, Zheng Guo, have always been in an alliance with Qi State, which has made the surrounding small countries fearful. If we break face with Qi State because of this incident, I am afraid... many people will applaud. Now my Zheng State is not good-looking. Wouldn’t it be more disadvantageous to lose an ally? If you take advantage of Qi’s loss this time, your majesty asks for some benefits from Qi, that’s all.”

It has to be said that Ji Zhong's conditioning was very clear, and he was not arrogant.It's not that Zheng Bo is ignorant of this truth, but Zheng Bo came to the throne at the age of 13, and it has been some years now. After being a monarch for so many years, he naturally became arrogant and became more and more impatient.

Zheng Bowusheng said again: "Even if Gu understands this truth, do other people understand this truth? If Gu does not challenge Qi, others will think that Gu will suffer from being dumb. Besides, the wedding is coming soon. , all the envoys from various countries have entered Old Zheng City, and now we are seeing off guests, where will we put the face of Zheng Guo?"

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of face.

Ji Zhong thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, Zhong has a way."

Zheng Bowusheng said, "You tell me."

Jizhong cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "The weather is cold now, and the La Festival will be held soon. The envoys of these countries have already entered Laozheng City. If we send them back again, it will be ugly. How about... Your Majesty invites the emperor and other countries. The envoys are hunting for the La Festival. Every year, the La Festival is the biggest event in all countries. Your Majesty can just show the powerful military strength of our Zheng State to the other countries. After the envoys have seen our Zheng State’s military performance, who will dare to laugh at your majesty? Woolen cloth?"

The ancients were very fond of hunting, especially the pre-Qin people.First of all, hunting was one of the few entertainment programs in the pre-Qin period. Horses and fine wine were the best match. Many celebrities in history, including Duke Huan of Qi, the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, liked hunting very much.On the other hand, hunting at that time was not just a recreational activity for playing with things and losing one's morale, it could also demonstrate the prestige of a great country.

Every year in the twelfth lunar month, all countries hold hunts. Hunts are also a kind of military exercise. The bigger the momentum and the fuller the momentum, the more it can demonstrate the national prestige of a big country.

Now that the weather is already cold, and it just entered the "twelfth lunar month" of hunting, if Mr. Zheng Bowu could invite everyone to participate in the hunting to show the prestige of the country, then which envoy would dare to chew his tongue behind his back?Don't they all control their mouths and dare not say a word?

When Zheng Bowu heard this, he made sense, nodded, and said: "This is a way. I will leave it to you to invite the emperor to hunt."

Ji Zhong said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Zhong will not disgrace his life."

Zheng Bowusheng sighed, rubbed his forehead again, and said: "Everyone has no vision at all. If they are all as sweet as Jiqing, I don't know how much trouble they can save."

Ji Zhong smiled slightly, went forward and knelt down on the edge of the soft mat, gently rubbed the forehead of Zheng Boyu to relieve his headache, and said with a half-truth and half-fake smile: "If all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the state of Zheng can relieve your worries, Doesn't Zhong have any use for it?"

Ji Lin sat waiting in the bedroom, while Qi Lu went to the dining room, saying that he had his own way to know the secret of the birthmark.Ji Lin waited for a while, but was not very relieved. After all, the crown prince Zhu'er framed Qi Lu repeatedly, and also framed Qi Lu for having an affair with a daughter of the Qi State, and also wanted to poison Qi Lu. This shows that the birthmark is a big problem.

The emperor thought over and over, and finally stood up. He was about to follow Qi Lu to the dining room, but Yu Yu suddenly walked into the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Emperor, Gongsun Wuzhi has woken up."

That day, Gongsun Wuzhi was poisoned and woke up once in a daze, but soon fell into a coma and never woke up. After a few days like this, the prince said that it was not a problem because Gongsun Wuzhi's bones were never good. Only by being overbearing will Gongsun Wuzhi remain in a coma.

Gongsun Wuzhi finally woke up, how did he know that he missed a "good show", but this good show was the entanglement between his own sister and the political opponent Prince Zhu'er, and he didn't know that Gongsun Wuzhi would listen to it. What emotion.

Ji Lin felt that if Gongsun Wuzhi knew that the crown prince Zhu'er had harmed his own sister, and that he carried the hatred of placing the eunuch Meng Yang'an beside him to do fine work, the combination of the new and old hatred would probably lead to the prince Zhu'er's death in the future. Life will not be easy.

When the emperor thought of this, a smile could not help showing on his lips, that's right, the life of the prince and his sons cannot be made easy, if he framed Taifu Qi twice, how could his life be easy?

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven said, "Let's go and visit Qi Gongsun with the widow."

Ji Lin simply didn't go to the dining room, but went to visit the palace where Gongsun Wuzhi stayed and recuperated.Before Ji Lin entered the hall, he wished he could hear Gongsun Wuzhi's voice from eight zhang away.

"Meng Yang, my grandson is thirsty! Bring me some water!"

"It's too cold, Gongsun, I'm still sick, so you give me such cold water? Why do you care?!"

"Bah bah, it's too hot, do you want to burn Gongsun to death? You're so clumsy, what can I ask you to do?"

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows, stepped into the hall with his loose clothes lifted, and said: "It seems that the widow is worrying about Qi Gongsun for nothing, and Qi Gongsun just woke up, and his energy is tense."

Because Gongsun Wuzhi knew that Meng Yang was a secret agent arranged by the prince and his sons, according to his temperament of not being disadvantaged, the anger in his stomach was full of anger, and when he woke up, he naturally wanted to vent his anger.

When Gongsun Wuzhi saw Ji Lin, he quickly saluted. Ji Lin waved his hand and said, "There is no need to salute. Gongsun is injured, so let's heal."

Gongsun Wuzhi thanked him, seemed to remember something, and said, "Yes, Wuzhi heard from Meng Yang that the Son of Heaven and Grand Tutor Qi were inquiring about the birthmark."

Ji Lin didn't expect to hear about the birthmark from Gongsun Wuzhi, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Could it be that Gongsun Qi also knew about Taifu Qi's birthmark?"

Gongsun Wuzhi scratched the back of his head and said, "Returning to the Son of Heaven, in fact, ignorance doesn't know, but..."

Gongsun Wuzhi let out a big gasp, and said, "But this birthmark is so familiar, Wuzhi vaguely remembers it, and Widow Jun seems to have a similar birthmark..."

The "widowed monarch" in Gongsun Wuzhi's mouth is a modest name for his own monarch, which means that Qihou Lufu also has a similar birthmark.

When Ji Lin heard this, he frowned and said, "Marquis Qi?"

In Zheng Gong's dining room.

"Tai Tu, please forgive me, please forgive me! I say! I say, the villain said!" The servants of the prince's sons were covered in cold sweat, and they didn't dare to open their mouths, for fear that General Zhu Dan would throw the hot porridge Water poured into his mouth.

Qi Lu smiled faintly, thinking in his heart that people in the Spring and Autumn Period were relatively "simple" and didn't have so many tortures. Therefore, people in this era can't escape the torture of eating. It is very useful and has been tried repeatedly. .

Qi Lv put on a serious face on purpose, pretending to be an official, and said in a deep voice, "Say it!"

The servant didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "Birthmark, the birthmark is actually...it's actually red ink!"

Qi Lu frowned, and said, "Mount ink?"

The servant nodded repeatedly and said: "As far as I know, this is not a birthmark, but... but a red ink pattern. The king of Qi and his son Zhongnian each have the same red ink pattern, which is the same as the Taifu's. Your body is exactly the same, exactly the same! If my guess is correct, Taifu Qi, you are probably...I am afraid that you are the son of the former Duke of Qi, the younger brother of the monarch of Qi, and the current son of Qi!"
