spring and autumn officials

The Son of Heaven convened an impromptu court meeting to discuss with the royal family, ministers and officials whether to assist the Qi State. Gongsun Wuzhi, as the grandson of the Qi State, could not participate in the court meeting. He could only stay in the palace house and wait for the court meeting. result.

He walked up and down the house restlessly, his pacing speed getting faster and faster, like a spinning top spinning endlessly.

Not long after Gongsun Wuzhi left Luoshi, he happened to meet the Qi people who came to Luoshi for help. Hearing that the Shanrong people besieged the Peiqiu hunting ground, he was very anxious.

Gongsun Wuzhi couldn't rest for a moment, he paced for half an hour, at this moment, he suddenly heard a "squeak", someone came in from the outside of the house, it was an eunuch, and whispered in Meng Yang's ear Whispered a few words, then backed out.

Gongsun Wuzhi thought it was the result of the court meeting, so he said anxiously: "Meng Yang! What, the emperor plans to send troops or not? To help or not?"

Meng Yang's face was not very good-looking, he was usually serious, but now he was even more serious, he shook his head.

Gongsun Wuzhi was surprised and said: "What? The emperor doesn't intend to help our country of Qi?"

Meng Yang said: "It's not the result of the court meeting, but the obituary from Qi."

"What..." Gongsun Wuzhi was stunned immediately, and said blankly, "Ou, obituary...? Is, whose obituary is it?"

An obituary means to report a funeral.Whenever a person with high status in the princes and countries dies, they will come to Luoshi. The Spring and Autumn Period is an era of etiquette.

The obituary that can reach Master Luo must be a person of high rank. When the obituary suddenly came from Qi State, Gongsun Wuzhi almost couldn't stand up for a moment, and asked again: "Who is... who is it?"

Meng Yang said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty... is gone."

Gongsun Wuzhi staggered, his knees felt weak, and he was about to fall to the ground immediately. Meng Yang stepped up, with quick eyes and quick hands, and hugged Gongsun Wuzhi, saying: "Gongsun, my condolences."

Gongsun Wuzhi breathed out quickly, and murmured, "How...how could this be..."

Although Gongsun Wuzhi was eyeing the position of the king of Qi, but to be honest, Qihou Lufu treated him very well. Gongsun Wuzhi had no intention of urging Qihou Lufu to die early. When he first heard the news of Qihou's death, his mind went blank.

Meng Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Gongsun, I have something to say, and I want to ask Gongsun what it means."

Gongsun Wuzhi said blankly: "What?"

Meng Yang's voice was slightly hoarse, and he said, "Does Gongsun want to become the king of Qi?"

"I..." Gongsun Wuzhi didn't expect Meng Yang's question to be so blunt. His mind was in a mess and he murmured, "Now I'm in Luoshi, and the prince Zhu'er is not only justified, but also he is in Linzi, the capital city. I'm afraid I have already taken advantage of the geographical advantage, and besides... besides, I am not as good as Taifu Qi in terms of fame..."

When Gongsun Wuzhi said this, he had nothing to say.

Meng Yang squinted his eyes and said, "I don't care about anyone else, I just ask Gongsun...whether you want it or not."

"Report!"

The door of the Zhichao Hall was suddenly pushed open, and the black back held a piece of lambskin in his hand, strode into the Zhichao Hall, breathing very rapidly, and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven... Qi Guo is here!"

Everyone was still discussing the matter of reinforcements to the Qi State just now, when they suddenly received the news of the Qi State's obituary, they felt a thump in their hearts.

Zhou Gong Hei Jian stood up immediately, crossed the crowd, took the obituary in Hei Bei's hand, opened it and looked at it, his face was quite ugly, he cupped his hands and said, "I am reporting to the Son of Heaven, Qi Gong died of illness in Peiqiu."

"what!?"

"Duke Qi is gone!?"

"Is it a good thing the Shanrong people did?!"

"Shanrong people really deceived me that there is no one in Dazhou!"

"Shan Rong, these mediocre dogs!"

When Qi Lu heard this, his heart was shocked. It stands to reason that when Qihou Lufu passed away, Duke Huan of Qi, the future leader of the Spring and Autumn Period, was indeed still young, so it was his eldest brother, the prince Zhu'er, who successfully ascended the throne. The Qi State ushered in a turbulent time. Zhuer tyranny/government, and Gongsun Wuzhi usurped the throne. After Gongzi Jiu and Gongzi Xiaobai competed for the throne, Gongzi Xiaobai finally came to the throne as Duke Huan of Qi.

However, Qi Lu did his calculations, and Qihou Lufu passed away too early, many years earlier than expected, and the current son Xiaobai was only three or four years old.

Qi Lu frowned slightly. It must be because of the emperor's confrontation with Shanrong that the Shanrong people jumped the wall in a hurry, and the battle between Shanrong and Qi State also kicked off ahead of schedule.

Qi State has the habit of winter hunting, not only Qi State, in fact, ancient people like hunting, especially men with prominent reputation, status and status in ancient times, they like hunting even more, and throughout the long history, historical celebrities who died in hunting Not less.

Prince Zhu'er was usurped to death by Gongsun Wuzhi while hunting, and Gongsun Wuzhi was beheaded by doctor Yong Ti while hunting, and Sun Ce, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, was also assassinated and died while hunting.

Qi Hou Lufu was hunting in Peiqiu, and the Shanrong people took the opportunity to besiege Peiqiu. Qi Hou Lufu was injured and depressed, and died. The days of Qi can be described as changing.

Just now, the officials were still discussing whether to help the Qi State, but now that the Qi State has come, it seems that there is no need to discuss this situation anymore. The monarchs of the Qi State have all died. Take advantage of the confusion.

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, made a quick decision, and said in a deep voice, "Guo Gong, Zhu Dan."

"Father Ji is here!"

"The humble general is here!"

The two of them went out immediately, and Ji Lin said again: "Pass down the decree of the widow, that Duke Guo and General Zhu lead the army to disturb the sight and hearing of the Shanrong people, and rescue Peiqiu."

"Father's edict!"

"Humble general order!"

The emperor accepted Guogong Jifu and Zhu Dan as the vanguard, and the army was about to move out. After all, the Shanrong people were already in Peiqiu. If it took a long time, they would be deeply rooted in Qi and they would be difficult to deal with.

Hei Jian immediately stood up and said: "My king, Hei Jian asks for orders to organize food and grass for the army for military supplies!"

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Duke Zhou has always been careful. I can rest assured that I will entrust the matter of food and grass to Duke Zhou."

Due to the sudden changes in Qi State, Heijian no longer has to go to Qi State as an envoy. After the dispersal of the dynasty, he began to prepare for the issue of food and grass. The army is about to start. Without food, everything is useless. Time is tight, and the task of Duke Zhou is very urgent. , can not delay for a moment.

The high officials left the hall one after another with gloomy faces after leaving the court. Duke Zhou Heijian walked in a hurry. As soon as he walked out of the hall, he heard someone calling his name. He turned his head and saw that it was Duke Guo Ji's father.

Ji's father walked up to Hei Jian, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Duke Zhou, Ji's father will go to war in three days. Today... I wonder if I can come to Zhou Gong's mansion tonight."

Duke Zhou Heijian looked at Father Ji in surprise, and said, "What are you doing at my house?"

Father Ji scratched the back of his head again, and said, "I'm going to discuss with Duke Zhou about the supply of food and grass!"

Hei Jian thought that Father Ji would say something else, and he still had some hope in his heart, but when he heard Father Ji's words so incomprehensible, he immediately glanced at Duke Guo angrily, and said that he really wanted to Too much, after all, Guo Gong is an idiot.

Unexpectedly, Father Ji of Guo Gong laughed suddenly, took Hei Jian's palm, and said: "I just made a joke, because Father Ji missed Duke Zhou, and Father Ji will go out in three days. Meet."

Hei Jian was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly, the always naive Duke Guo actually bluffed him, and Duke Guo said: "Father Ji is a bit dull, but he is also a caring person."

When he said this, he heard Zhu Dan calling him from a distance, and asked Guo Gong to go to the political affairs hall to discuss the matter of sending troops.

Father Ji said loudly, "Come here!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly leaned over and whispered in Hei Jian's ear: "Wait for me tonight."

Guo Gongji's father didn't delay any longer, and immediately took a big step, and went to the Zhengshitang together with Zhu Dan. After realizing it, he raised his hand and touched his earlobe. Ji's father would actually make such a joke, and his earlobe felt a little hot for no reason...

After the court was over, Qi Lv went inward from the Zhi court. Along the way, he met many senior officials, who all handed over their hands and said, "Teacher Qi, now the state of Qi is in chaos, and the tutor is the head of the three princes in my royal family." , is famous far and wide, and is a celebrity in the world, isn't the position of the monarch of Qi State in Qi Taifu's pocket?"

"That's right, as long as the Taifu is willing to reach out and grab it, who else can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Taifu?"

Qi Lu listened to the flattery of the doctors, with a calm face, just said: "Everyone, Lu still has something to do, let's go ahead."

Qi Lu bypassed the crowd and came to the gate of Lu's bedroom. The eunuch was guarding the gate of Lu's bedroom. When he saw Qi Lu, he said, "Teacher, are you here? The emperor ordered, please go in when the tutor is here. report."

Qi Lu nodded and said, "Thank you."

Qi Lu entered Lu's bedroom, walked through the lobby, and directly entered the imperial room.

The emperor was the only one in the imperial room, sitting at the edge of the table, holding the bamboo slips in his hands, frowning slightly, looking at the documents with a serious face, his appearance was different from the boy who always had to rely on Qi Lv before, he became More mature and stable.

Qi Lv walked over, and Ji Lin was a martial artist with sharp eyes and ears, so he immediately heard the voice, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "Teacher, sit down."

Qi Lv sat down across from the desk, and the two of them were separated by a luxurious bronze desk. On the desk, there were obituaries from Qi State, various documents and military newspapers, and Chengpan, who hadn't had time to eat, had become Cold Belle Barbecue.

Ji Lin stared at Qi Lu, and said in a low voice, "The king of Qi State died of illness, and now there is no one in Qi State. The princes, sons, Gongsun Wuzhi, and... the Taifu may all become the kings of Qi State."

"My widow..." Ji Lin paused for a moment, and then said, "I want to ask the Grand Tutor, does the Grand Tutor want to be the king of Qi?"

Qi State is a powerful country in the world, and the future can be expected. In a few years, it will become the largest vassal state beyond Zheng State, and become the king of Qi State. That is a matter of great honor.

Qi Lu looked down at the grilled meat that had been cooled on the table, and then at the solemn emperor, and said flatly, "Lü has always been a troublesome person, why not... let the emperor help him choose."
