spring and autumn officials

The figure said: "The Lord asked you to lurk beside Qi Lu, not for you to be an eyeliner, but for you to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Qi Lu, do you understand?"

Fu'er said calmly, "Yes, I understand."

The figure said again: "Only when Qi Lu is dead can the lord be safe and sound, rest easy and worry-free. Don't forget, who saved you, your life was given by the lord, and you are the lord." dog."

Fu'er still said calmly, "Yes, I understand."

The figure spoke for the third time, and said, "Go away if you understand, remember, don't reveal my identity."

"Yes, my minister understands."

Fu'er opened his mouth three times, and the three times were exactly the same promise, then he folded his hands and slowly backed away, disappearing into the night, and when he got away from the figure, Fu'er's face changed, and he returned to his slender and weak appearance, silently He went to the house where he stayed.

The sky has brightened up, today is the morning court, Qi Lu needs to go to the court, Yan Yangjian and Chi'er entered the imperial room to wait on Qi Lu to wash and change clothes.

Today, a delegation of princes entered the Luo division, and the emperor got up and left the imperial room, so he needed to make some preparations in advance.

At this time, there are only three people in the imperial room, Qi Lu, You Yangjian and Fu'er, who are waiting for Qi Lu to wash.Yan Yangjian doesn't talk much on weekdays, and always has a "cold" face, but his hands and feet are very nimble, but today he is a little hesitant, looking at Fu'er several times, wondering if he has something to say.

Qi Lu noticed Yang Yang's attitude and said, "Xiao Yang, what's the matter? Do you have anything to say?"

Li Yangjian still hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Go back to Taifu, rested last night, the minister saw Fu'er left the house, and returned about half an hour later."

Fu'er was combing Qi Lu's hair, and the delicate wooden comb almost fell to the ground, almost breaking Qi Lu's hair, which made his heart skip a beat, and he squinted his eyes indiscriminately.

I didn't expect that I was so careful yesterday, but I was discovered by Yan Yangjian. When he went back yesterday, there was no movement at all, so I didn't know that he would be exposed in front of Qi Lv at this moment.

Fu'er's complexion flickered, and then he put on a weak and innocent look, and said: "I'm afraid the housekeeper may have misread it. I was in the room all night yesterday, and I rested early."

Yan Yangjian wanted to refute Fu'er, but it was getting late, there was still a mission to visit Luoshi today, so there must be no delay, I'm afraid it would lose face to the Luoshi royal family.

Qi Lv then said, "We'll discuss it when I come back from the court."

Today, during the court meeting, the Qi State sent a mission to worship. In the Fan Kingdom, the princes of the Qi State Zhuer not only caused scandals with the daughters of the Qi State, but also intended to murder Qi Lu.

There is a red birthmark on Qi Lu's body, which is not actually a birthmark, but a pattern of ink. Apart from Qi Lu, the current Qihou Lufu, and Qihou's younger brother Yi Zhongnian all have the same pattern of ink, so Qi Lv's real identity should be that Qihou Lufu and Yi Zhongnian's younger brothers did not run away.

Now Qi Hou Lufu is in power in the State of Qi, and he has also elected the crown prince, who is the eldest son of Qi Hou Lufu, Zhu'er. Qi has the custom of establishing a chief, so it is a matter of peace of mind for Zhu'er to sit on the position of the crown prince.

However, Qihou Lufu doesn't like the eldest son Zhu'er, nor does he like the prudent and intelligent second son Jiu, and he doesn't like the youngest son Xiaobai who will become the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period in the future, but he especially likes his nephew, the younger brother Yizhong Nian's son, Gongsun Wuzhi.

Although Gongsun Wuzhi is a Gongsun, he has the same status as Zhu'er, the prince. His food, clothing, housing and transportation are only higher than the prince's standard, not lower than the prince's standard. Qi Hou Lufu also said that he would make Gongsun Wuzhi the king of Qi after he left. , so the prince Zhu'er has always seen Gongsun Wuzhi as particularly displeasing to the eye, and has always been in crisis.

The position of Prince Zhu'er is not satisfactory. In addition, he has no great ability, no achievements, no kindness and righteousness, and does not know how to win people's hearts, so it is even more precarious.Therefore, when the prince Zhu'er found out that Qi Lu was actually a direct descendant of Jiang Taigong and a noble son of the Lu family of Qi State, he became murderous.As Qihou Lufu's younger brother, once Qi Lu's identity is exposed, Qi Lu also has the right to inherit Qi.

The most important thing is that Qi Lu is well-known. This year, he helped the young emperor to pacify the barbarians and the princes. He has become a celebrity in the world and is well-known. The prince's position is probably in jeopardy.

Therefore, the prince Zhu'er thought of a "smart plan" at that time, falsely accusing Qi Lu of having an affair with the country's daughter, and wanted to get rid of Qi Lu and the country's daughter together, but in the end the matter was exposed, and a joke of Qi was made .

Qi Lu was the victim, and the emperor asked Qi Guo to give an explanation on this matter. Isn't that right? Qi Hou Lufu sent envoys to apologize to Qi Lu and offered tribute.

The envoy of Qi State this time is none other than Gongsun Wuzhi, the nephew that Qi Hou Lufu loves to see very much!

Gongsun Wuzhi strode into Zhichao from outside the hall, followed by the tall, hard-faced eunuch Meng Yang.

Gongsun Wuzhi cupped his hands and said: "The envoys of the Qi State pay homage to the Son of Heaven, my king Wannian!"

Gongsun Wuzhi shouted the slogan so loudly, with [-] points of respect, and a deep salute, which seemed particularly sincere.

The emperor didn't have a good temper when he saw Gongsun Wuzhi. After all, Gongsun Wuzhi had a "criminal record" before and peeked at Qi Lu taking a bath.

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "The envoys of the Qi State don't need to be too polite. What kind of attitude does Duke Qi have on the matter of the crown prince of the State of Qi? Presumably the envoys of the State of Qi have brought sincerity today?"

This trip is actually not a lucrative job, Gongsun Wuzhi, who is greedy for petty gain, doesn't want to come at all, but Qihou thinks highly of him, so he must let Gongsun Wuzhi come.

What attitude can Qihou Lufu have?Although the prince of Qi made such a big joke and caused trouble for the daughters of the country, the prince is still the prince, and this kind of scandal should not be spread. If the prince is dismissed at this time, what is the reason?The scandal was too nasty, and if it was spread out, not only would the crown prince lose face, but Qihou Lufu's face would also be swollen.

Therefore, Qi Hou Lufu planned to calm things down and asked Gongsun Wuzhi to bring generous gifts, bribe Qi Lv and the emperor, and wanted to make big things into small things.

When the emperor heard this, he sneered and said, "Why, envoy of the State of Qi, do you, Duke Qi, think that the widow is short of money, or that the widow's high officials are short of money?"

Qi Lu stared at the generous gift from Gongsun Wuzhi, full of gold, full of money, full of treasures, full of night pearls, and hearing the emperor's arrogant speech, his eyelids twitched and his heart almost bleeds. The heart said that the law is lacking, it is really short of money!

Gongsun Wuzhi said with a dry smile: "The emperor forgives me, please calm down!"

Ji Lin sat on the seat of the emperor, straightened his sleeves, and said, "If the Qi State cannot give you a satisfactory explanation, when the time comes, your prince and daughter of Qi State will still want to blame others for cholera. , don’t blame the widow for not hiding it for you.”

Gongsun Wuzhi was sweating all over his face, and he promised again and again: "Yes, please calm down, the Son of Heaven."

The emperor was very shameless and said directly: "Let's leave the court today."

After all, he left the mission of Qi State, didn't even look at those generous gifts, and left directly.

Qi Lu looked at the emperor's royal demeanor, and wished he could "wave his sleeves without taking away a cloud", and didn't pay attention to those treasures at all. Qi Lu's heart ached, he stood up silently, and prepared to Leaving Zhichao.

Seeing the emperor leaving, Gongsun Wuzhi wiped off his cold sweat, walked up a few steps quickly, and said to Qi Lu, "Teacher Qi, we are all acquainted, please speak a little kindly to the emperor in front of the emperor. "

Qi Lu smiled slightly and said: "The envoys of the Qi State don't have to worry, the emperor is very short-tempered, and tomorrow he will forget all the things he doesn't like. Tomorrow, in the Yanyin Hall, there will be a special meeting for the Qi State envoys." Yan Yin, I also ask the envoy to give me some face."

"Definitely!" Gongsun Wuzhi said, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, the emperor has a short temper?The Son of Heaven is probably the one who holds the most grudges!

Qi Lu left Zhichao and headed towards Luchao. Gongsun Wuzhi looked at Qi Lu's leaving back, smacked his lips, and seemed to think that Qi Lu's temperament and appearance were completely in line with his own. Taste, it's a pity that Gongsun Wuzhi learned a lesson, and he didn't dare to go forward to "obscene".

After Qi Lu left, Fu Er, the eunuch beside him, hurried into the palace of Zhichao again. It turned out that Qi Lu accidentally left the jade pendant on the seat of the upper court. Fu Er came back to get the jade pendant, took the jade pendant, and hurriedly leave in a hurry.

When Fu'er left, he accidentally bumped into Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun Wuzhi turned his head and saw that he was a slender and weak eunuch with a harmless face. He was beautiful and weak, and he apologized timidly to himself.

When Gongsun Wuzhi saw it, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, what's your name? Why do you look so kind?"

Before Fu'er could speak, Meng Yang, the eunuch behind Gongsun Wuzhi, said indifferently: "Gongsun, please move to the post house to stay at the post, the embassy is already waiting."

Gongsun Wuzhi was interrupted a good opportunity to strike up a conversation, so he said angrily, "What's the rush?"

He said, and when he turned his head, he saw that the little eunuch had already left Zhichao, and he couldn't help saying regretfully, "Why did you leave? Meng Yang, go and check for my grandson, the beautiful little eunuch next to Taifu Qi." Man, what's your name?"

Meng Yang smiled inscrutablely, and said: "Back to Gongsun, I will be busy with the reception of Feng Yanyin tomorrow. The court relationship between the Luoshi royal family must be taken care of by me. The master of the subject is a dude Gongsun who does not do practical things, and he really has no time to find beauties for Gongsun, please forgive him."

After all, Meng Yang took the lead to leave the ruling hall.

"Hey!" Gongsun Wuzhi chased after him, and said angrily: "Meng Yang!? Did you secretly scold me just now? Who doesn't do real things? You have the courage to speak out!"

Fu'er hurriedly left the main hall of Zhichao, and could still hear Gongsun Wuzhi's loud voice, gradually going away, Fu'er heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to Lu Chao.

After walking a few steps, a figure brushed past, passed by Fu'er, and said softly: "Tomorrow, I will drink with the wind and swallows, so I must do it."
