Chapter 30: Forced Marriage

On the way back to the palace, Qi Lu picked up a young boy, and soon left with the sheep's shoulders.Ji Lin returned to the palace, sat down in the imperial room of Lu's bedroom, picked up the wine glass and earcup, and suddenly felt that the feather was inserted crookedly, so crooked that he didn't even want to drink water, it was tasteless.

Standing up and walking around, I felt that the bows and daggers hanging on the wall were in a bad position. The walls looked "broken", the incense tripod on the case was an eyesore, and even the position of the eunuch was an eyesore.

The eunuch was stared at coldly by the emperor for no reason, and he said bravely, "Heaven, emperor... Do you have any concerns, I wonder if I can share your worries?"

Hearing the eunuch ask himself this question, Ji Lin thought, what could be on his mind?It's just that ever since Taifu Qi took the little boy's goat shoulders home, he felt uneasy, as if he had a rabbit inside and was always jumping around.

But Ji Lin couldn't say exactly why it was unreliable, because of these, he felt that everything was an eyesore, whether it was a wine glass, an ear cup, a incense cauldron or a bow, all of them were an eyesore.

Qi Lv picked up the leak, and he took the housekeeper Pie Yangjian of Shi Que, a veteran official of the state of Wei, back home. , looks so cute?

Qi Lu took him back to the posthouse, asked the servants to fetch some hot water, placed the bathtub, and poured it full of hot soup. Because the little boy had just been frightened, Qi Lu tried his best to keep his voice down. He was very gentle, squeezed out a smile, and said kindly: "You take a bath first, and then change your clothes."

Seeing Qi Lu's "bad intentions" smile and seeing the steaming ambiguous hot soup, Yan Yangjian seemed to be frightened again. He hurriedly covered his tattered clothes and took a few steps back, almost He fell to the ground, biting his lip, with a look of forbearance.

Qi Lu was taken aback, touched his face, thinking it was impossible, this little boy wouldn't think that he was a pervert like Wei Zhouyu, and wanted to have a romantic bath with him?

Qi Lv suspects that he has a hideous appearance, or else he looks like an evil ghost. He clearly smiles very softly, with the kindness of an old father.

Qi Lv saw Yan Yangjian guarding himself so much, he was a little helpless, and said: "Well, you take a bath first, and I will go to the dining room to make you something to eat, you must be starving?"

Yan Yangjian was still tightly pressing on his clothes, Qi Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he touched his face again, without saying much, he went out of the door, closed the door for Yan Yangjian, and then went to the dining room.

Qi Lv thought to himself, Yang Yangjian's small body is thinner than himself, he is so hungry that he has almost no baby fat, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and his cheeks are about to shrink, so he needs to make up for it.

When Qi Lu entered the dining room, he suddenly thought of the seafood porridge he had promised Ji Lin on the way. It happened that the dining room was full of everything, so he was going to cook a pot of seafood porridge. The emperor brought it over, killing two birds with one stone, "killing two birds with one stone", which greatly saves trouble!

What's more, the emperor is far away in the palace, so he won't know that what he is drinking is "leftover porridge". It should be harmless and taste good.

Thinking of this, Qi Lv immediately began to pick up the seafood, and carefully removed the shrimp lines from the prawns, so that he would eat without any scruples, and he would not have to worry about the stinginess of the shrimp lines. It is refreshing to be unscrupulous.

The essence of making seafood porridge is the dried scallops and scallops. Adding scallops is more delicious than any crab.And you can't have fresh scallops, they must be dried. The dried scallops lock in the freshness of the seafood, and they taste springy and chewy, which is Qi Lu's favorite.

Qi Lv grabbed a lot of scallops, thinking that the lamb is too thin and must be supplemented, if not because the dried scallops are too salty, Qi Lv would like to put another handful.

Qi Lv stewed the seafood porridge and did not leave for a moment. He personally controlled the heat, scooped up some with a small dagger and tasted it. Bone porridge tastes rich and delicious.

The seafood porridge was almost done, so Qi Lu took the porridge off the fire, put it in small beans, and searched nearby. The dining room was full of pickled vegetables, plus a few side dishes, which were placed in Xiao Cheng In the pan, the seafood porridge is served on a wooden pan, accompanied by a few side dishes, it will definitely be a delicious meal.

After finishing these, Qi Lu took the porridge and went to his own house in the post house. When he returned, Qi Lu knocked on the door and said, "Little sheep? Are you ready to take a bath?"

He didn't go in right away, so as not to be regarded as a anxious ghost.

Qi Lu cooked this pot of seafood porridge with very particular materials and time-consuming, so Qi Lu felt that the lamb shoulder should be washed well.

He knocked on the door, but he didn't get a response for a long time. He was a little puzzled and wanted to knock on the door again. At this time, there was a faint voice of "um..." from inside, the voice was soft and full of waxy The sense of youth must be a lamb.

Qi Lv opened the door and walked in, and saw the sheep shoulder standing in the corner of the house, had already washed, and carried out the tub for bathing, with a very dutiful appearance, with his head bowed, Also a little chesty.It's not that he doesn't stand up, but that he is so humble as a child slave.

As soon as Qi Lv walked in, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Although the sheep's shoulders were lowered and he could hardly see his face, but the sheep's shoulders after bathing were different. If it was a gray lamb before, then now, it is A white and tender little sheep!

The age of Yan Yangjian looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body is very slender. I don't know if it is due to malnutrition. In front of him, the masculinity suddenly rose, like Mount Everest.

The skin of the sheep's shoulders is very fair, it seems to be the kind of white that is not tanned naturally, and it is a little milky white, it really looks like a little sheep.

The chin is pointed, the natural beauty has an oval face, the eyes are slightly narrow and long, and she stands timidly.Because his clothes were torn, he was wearing the clean clothes left by Qi Lu at this time. Qi Lu's clothes were too long for him, whether it was the sleeves or the hem, he had the illusion of stealing an adult's clothes .

In short, it is really cute, and it makes people feel that he is born with a feeling of needing protection.

Qi Lu came in with seafood porridge, and Yang Yang stood with his head bowed, but his nose moved a little, as if he could smell the delicious seafood porridge, and his eyes widened slightly, which felt very agile.

Qi Lu walked in, put seafood porridge on the case, and said with a smile, "Little sheep, come here."

Yan Yangjian raised his head and glanced at Qi Lu, Qi Lu waved at him, but Yan Yangjian was still a little wary, he didn't walk over immediately, took two steps forward, and stood still, not daring to move.

Qi Lu didn't call him again, but opened the lid of Xiaodou, brought out the porridge, and then put out all the side dishes, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's so delicious, I wonder if the lamb is hungry?"

Li Yangjian seemed to be extremely hungry, raised his head to look at the porridge and side dishes, the small Adam's apple on his white neck rolled several times, looked eagerly, as if he finally couldn't resist the temptation and came over.

Qi Lu put the porridge in front of the sheep shoulder, and said: "Eat it, it's hot, eat slowly."

Yi Yangjian took the porridge porridge dagger from Qi Lu, at first he was a little hesitant, after all, he was a humble boy, that is, a slave, and he had never eaten in front of a gentleman, let alone such a fine meal On weekdays, he is always hungry and full. If the host is not happy, he will have nothing to eat. If he is happy, he will be rewarded with some bad food.And the food in front of me is not only fragrant, but also beautiful, it is brand new, it is not someone leftover.

Qi Lv said, "Eat, don't just stand still."

Lu Yangjian tentatively scooped up a spoonful of porridge and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes were slightly narrow and long, his nose bridge was straight, and his lips were small and thin. This kind of face was a little cold. At this moment, Lu Yangjian took a mouthful of seafood porridge. The belly opened, and the eyes opened wide. The word "delicious" was filled in the dark eyes.

Qi Lu laughed, he is very confident, there is probably no one in the world who he can't conquer with delicious food!

Seafood porridge is very hot, especially the porridge water does not like to dissipate heat. While eating the lamb shoulder, the heat is "sizzling", and the sweat rolls on the forehead, but dare not let it go. A large pot of porridge water is full, and the lamb shoulder The small body actually ate all of it, and ate it all.

Qi Lu leaned on the table with his cheeks resting on his back, watching the lamb shoulders eat. If you ask Qi Lu what he likes most, it must be cooking.Secondly, what he likes, it must be watching others enjoy the meals he made. Seeing the diners can't help eating, eating happily, and very satisfied, Qi Lu also has a feeling of satisfaction in his heart.

Yi Yangjian hugged the little bean, wishing he could get into the little bean and wipe off all the porridge water. After eating, there were still rice particles of the porridge water hanging on his cheeks.

Qi Lv chuckled, and wiped off the rice particles with a handkerchief. Only then did Ya Yangjian realize his gaffe, and hurriedly "Gudong!" He knelt on the ground with his forehead resting on the ground.

Qi Lv was taken aback by him, he quickly lifted up Yang Yang's shoulders, and said, "How old are you?"

After eating seafood porridge, the little sheep didn't seem to be so afraid of Qi Lu, but he was still a little timid, and said in a low voice, "Xiaochen...this year is seventeen."

"Seventeen?!" Qi Lu's voice couldn't help but raise his voice, and Yang Yang opened his black and white eyes wide, peeping at Qi Lu in fear.

Qi Lu coughed and said, "It's okay, I don't mean anything else, I just didn't expect you to be 17 years old?"

Pie Yangjian looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, 16 years old, unexpectedly 17 years old, and according to Piao Yangjian's rhetoric, it is coming soon, Qi Lu can't help but think of the emperor Ji Lin, Ji Lin seems to be the same This age, speaking of it, is only a little older than the sheep's shoulders, but these two people are not of the same age at all.

Qi Lv asked the question about the sheep shoulder, and he answered honestly. Qi Lu saw that he was always not looking up, so he glanced at it, and it turned out that most of the face of the sheep shoulder was swollen, and it must have been beaten by Wei Zhouyu before. , that slap-sized face was red, flying high.

Seeing this appearance, Qi Lu became angry and said, "Your face is swollen, come here, I'll give you some medicine."

When Li Yangjian heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I dare not, I dare not."

Ji Lin was grinding around in the imperial room, and immediately after dark, he lay on the couch, clasped his hands in front of him, closed his eyes, like a Sleeping Beauty, just waiting for today's day, when he could wear it on the little soil dog, Go and see how Qi Lu and that sheep shoulder are doing.

This was the first time that Ji Lin was looking forward to becoming a little dog.Ji Lin was a little stunned. In fact, sometimes it is very convenient to become a little dog. If he hadn't turned into a little dog before, he would not have been able to see through Wang Zihu's tricks.

Ji Lin was lying on the couch, feeling like it had been a long, long time. For a moment, "Shua!", he felt dizzy, as if he was about to change...

Immediately afterwards, I heard voices such as "Teacher, Tutor... I dare not dare" and other voices coming from my ears. The voice was urgent and hurried, it sounded like Qi Lu was treating the gentle and meek The lamb is rough!

Before, Qi Lu's attitude towards the sheep shoulder was inexplicably friendly, his smile was gentle, his eyes were shining, he wished he could be like a big bad wolf, after returning, Ji Lin thought about it a little more, and thought that Qi Lu might be I like younger ones.

Now he has turned into a little dog, and he heard the rejection of the little sheep, and Qi Lu's voice saying: "Don't move, if you move, I will hurt you."

nasty...

It's too nasty!

"Wow!" The little dog suddenly opened his big eyes, and immediately saw the big bad wolf Qi Taifu who "used to be strong", and the little sheep with sheep shoulders who "wanted to refuse but welcome".

Of course...

The situation in front of him seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Qi Lv was holding the chin of the sheep shoulder, although the distance was a little close, but it didn't seem to be forceful, and he was wiping the wound on the face of the sheep shoulder.

In other words, it's purely drugging...

The little dog blinked his big eyes, blinked, blinked again, and was a little dazed for a while.

As for Lu Yangjian, he said he didn't dare, and it wasn't that he wanted to refuse, but he really didn't dare. Just think about it, Qi Taifu was the imperial tutor, the teacher of the emperor, and Lu Yangjian was a slave. This is a world of difference. Wei Zhouyu was the former master of the sheep shoulder, he shouted and shouted at him every day, either beating or scolding him, so the difference between a master and a slave has long been deeply imprinted in his heart. How dare you let the Lord prescribe medicine for you.

Qi Lv had a "dominant" appearance, holding his chin, and when he saw that he was about to run away, he put his other hand around his waist with his other hand, and fixed him so that he wouldn't run away. The appearance is quite domineering and cannot be questioned.

Li Yangjian froze for a moment, and was brought into Qi Lu's arms. The distance between the two of them got closer and closer. Li Yangjian could even see the fluff on Qi Lu's cheeks. His face turned red suddenly, and he pursed his lips without daring to say no. word.

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Be good, that's right, if you don't use medicine on your little face, I'm afraid it will leave scars..."

As he spoke, his expression tightened, and he seemed to see more wounds on the sheep's shoulders.The sheep shoulder is wearing Qi Lu's clothes, the collar is a little loose, revealing a white collarbone, and one side of his thin shoulder is covered with large and small scars, it looks like he was beaten, Some were scabbed, and some were still red, as if they were infected and were about to suppurate.

Qi Lu's anger suddenly rose, he sneered, and said: "That bastard Wei Zhouxu is simply taking human life as a joke."

Li Yangjian didn't dare to speak, and knelt down on the ground with low eyebrows. Qi Lv originally wanted to apply medicine to his wounds, but seeing Li Yangjian's appearance, I don't know if he would think of himself as a beast, so he Put the medicine in the palm of his hand, and said: "You still have wounds on your body, you need to apply the medicine yourself, you need to take the medicine every day, do you know?"

Li Yangjian stared blankly at Qi Lu, his eyes were a little numb, and a little confused, and then for no reason, his eyes suddenly turned red, and tears seemed to burst a bank, and wept silently as soon as he said it.

Qi Lu panicked instantly, and said, "What's wrong with you? You're fine, why are you crying?"

Yan Yangjian didn't cry, but his eyes were red and tears were pouring down, it was like a silent storm, Qi Lv was so frightened that he was at a loss what to do, he was not afraid of others being a rascal, he was not afraid of others being messy, but he was afraid of people crying Qi Lu, who was crying, was flustered.

Yan Yangjian's voice was choked with sobs, and he said: "Your servant is just a lowly slave, how can I bear the kindness of the Taifu, I'm afraid I can't repay it."

Qi Lv thought it was something, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If there is no way to repay, then let's pay off the debt with your own body. From now on, you will follow me, drink seafood porridge every day, and eat delicious food every day, okay?"

When he said this, the sheep's shoulders cried even more fiercely, "Woo--", it was really a child, stuck on Qi Lu's shoulders, whimpering continuously.

The little dog said "Wow!", Seafood porridge?What did the widow hear just now?Didn't Qi Lu cook the seafood porridge that I ordered earlier?

Sure enough, there was a small bean on the table, which was empty, but exuded a faint and delicious seafood smell.

Ji Lin felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and he agreed to make porridge for the widow, but now it ran into the stomach of a little boy, and the widow's Taifu was so gentle to a little boy.

If the grand tutor's gentleness is to be shared with a little boy, wouldn't the gentleness towards the widow be reduced in the future?

Ji Lin didn't think much about it at all, like a puppy vying for favor, he immediately pounced on him, his chubby body squeezed between Qi Lu and the sheep's shoulders, pushing the sheep's shoulders hard with his paws, preventing him from leaning against Qi Lu. Law body.

Qi Lu turned his head and said, "Huh? Son, are you awake? Why do you always sleep during the day and wake up at night these days?"

Qi Lv never thought that his dog son was the emperor.He picked up the puppy and said, "My dear son, Dad is going to bed, so come and sleep with me."

Ji Lin was picked up by Qi Lu, hung on Qi Lu's shoulder, and rubbed against him several times, not paying attention to how "serious" his eyes were, and turned his head to look proudly at the sheep's shoulders, all showing off.

In the early morning of the second day, Qi Lu was still asleep when a soft and waxy voice came from his ear: "Teacher, Tutor has got up."

"Teacher? Wake up."

Qi Lv said "Uh--", still in a dream, he vaguely saw someone beside him, turned over, hugged that person in his arms, and talked in sleep: "Huh? Why did the pillow spirit suddenly become so Thin, you need to fill up some cotton, so that you can feel it when you hold it..."

After what happened yesterday, Yan Yangjian has become Qi Lu's personal boy. Early this morning, I was going to serve Qi Lu to wash and change clothes. I didn't know that Qi Lu looked very "decent", but when he got up in the morning, he couldn't sleep in bed. He was still confused. In a daze, he hugged the sheep's shoulders.

Li Yangjian was very thin and weak, so he hugged him directly, and the two of them fell on the couch together. Qi Lu hugged him tightly, like an octopus, and Yang Jian was startled, and then his cheeks turned red instantly, Red to the base of the ears.

Qi Lv was still in his sleep, still thinking about why this pillow man suddenly lost weight, he was thin and small, and he didn't feel any satisfaction in holding it. After thinking about it, no, there was no pillow man at all. The previous pillow man was obviously a Emperor Ji Lin!

Qi Lv "Teng!" Opened his eyes, he just met the red face of the sheep's shoulders, and then realized that he was holding the little sheep like a "beast", quickly let go of his hands, and smoothed his sleep hair, and said, "Is it morning?"

Yi Yangjian quickly retreated to the couch, held his clothes, and said: "It's already morning, please Taifu change clothes, just now the eunuch came to the palace, saying that the emperor invited Taifu Road to see him in his bedroom."

See you again?

Every morning, when I open my eyes, the first thing I do is to go to Lu's bedchamber. Qi Lu rubbed his forehead, feeling that the whole person is not well. Is the emperor too clingy to himself?

Qi Lu washed up in a hurry, didn't forget to bring his own seafood porridge, and went into the palace with the food.

Ji Lin was already waiting in the bedroom on the road, early in the morning, when he was transformed from a little dog back into the emperor, Ji Lin woke up immediately, called the eunuch, and said: "Go to the post house, and tell the widow that Taifu Qi is here to see you. "

"Your respect, I'll go now, my lord."

The eunuch trotted away, but before leaving the imperial room, Ji Lin stopped him again and said, "Wait a minute."

"My lord, what else do you want?"

Ji Lin pondered for a moment. He just woke up and didn't even wash up. However, Ji Lin's sleeping posture has always been very regular, and he doesn't bark like Qi Lu. The emperor who just woke up gives people an indescribable feeling. Calm and majestic.

Ji Lin said calmly: "You go to summon the Grand Tutor, remember to see if the Grand Tutor is awake first, if you haven't woken up in the morning, then wait until the Grand Tutor wakes up in the morning before sending the message."

The eunuch's eyelids twitched, the emperor summoned his courtiers, who didn't rush over here?Even in the middle of the night, thousands of miles away, he had to go to the palace to see him immediately, but the new emperor was surprised, and asked the Taifu if he was awake.

Ji Lin knew that Qi Lu had always had a problem of being unable to get out of bed, and it had always been like this. Because of Qi Lu's weak body and low blood pressure, it took a lot of effort to get up every day, and his breath was still low when he woke up. When Lin thought of Qi Luchen's fighting appearance, he felt a little distressed for no reason, so he asked the eunuch to pass it on when the Taifu woke up.

Qi Lu quickly entered the palace, holding the seafood porridge that the emperor ordered yesterday. Ji Lin had been waiting for a long time, after washing up and reviewing some documents, before Qi Lu came in, he smelled a smell of seafood. The aroma of porridge.

As a little dog yesterday, he had already smelled the empty bowl of seafood porridge, so when he sniffed it today, he immediately understood, isn't this the seafood porridge that made him think about it day and night?

When Ji Lin saw Qi Lu, he didn't know why, and his mood immediately improved. He just felt relieved when he saw Qi Lu, and asked deliberately, "Teacher, what is in your hand?"

Qi Lv was not as casual as he was with Yan Yangjian, and replied respectfully, "Back to the Son of Heaven, it is seafood porridge. I heard from the eunuch that the Son of Heaven hasn't had breakfast yet, so why don't you use some porridge water before you go about your busy work?" .”

Ji Lin deliberately waited for this bowl of porridge, so he didn't have breakfast, so he asked the eunuch to bring two small beans, divided the seafood porridge into two, and invited Qi Lu to have a meal together.

Qi Lv happened to have nothing to eat, he was very hungry, his blood pressure was low, and it was impossible not to eat something, although it was a little disrespectful to eat with the emperor, but he still couldn't resist the temptation, so he sat down and ate porridge together.

Ji Lin took a sip of the porridge. He was very well-bred. He used the porridge like a landscape painting, but he didn't try to make a fuss. The unity of opposites.

Qi Lu said in his heart, nobles are nobles, look at this genetically strong man, it is simply a disaster for a man to grow up like this!

Qi Lu was eating porridge when he heard Ji Lin say: "Teacher is not kind, yesterday we agreed to cook seafood porridge with the widow, but I gave it to your children first, is it not kind?"

"Heck!" Qi Lu's heart skipped a beat, how did the Son of Heaven know what happened in the posthouse yesterday?Yesterday I did cook seafood porridge for the mutton shoulder. In fact, what I gave to the emperor today was the leftovers from yesterday. The emperor actually knew?

Is it possible...

The emperor is actually a scheming man, but he just pretended to be Erha, and put eyeliner in the posthouse?Otherwise, how did the Son of Heaven know about such a trivial matter?

Ji Lin was just complaining, but Qi Lv was "fantastic", his divergent thinking was unstoppable, and he made Ji Lin into a jackal, tiger and leopard disguised as a big white rabbit...

Qi Lu immediately knelt down and saluted, saying: "What the Son of Heaven taught is that Lu is guilty."

Ji Lin was startled, and quickly helped Qi Lu up, saying, "Teacher, what's the reason? I don't mean to blame you."

While talking, the eunuch came to pass a message, saying: "Son of Heaven, Duke Zhou Heijian, Duke Guo Jifu, please see him outside the door."

Qi Lu was still pondering about the fact that the emperor's scheming was too deep, so he immediately said: "Since the king still has something important to do, then Lu will take his leave first."

"No need." Unexpectedly, Ji Lin said, "The Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Guo are here to discuss the affairs of the State of Zheng. It just so happens that the Grand Tutor is also here to discuss."

Qi Lv stood aside and didn't leave, but lowered his head dutifully.

Zhou Gong Hei Jian and Guo Gong Ji's father walked in quickly, one of them was wearing a black robe, the other was wearing a black armor, Hei Jian drank pork bone porridge yesterday, and talked to Ji Lin again, he was relieved, so he just I haven't seen him for a day, and I can already walk in bed. Although my face still looks very weak and pale, it is not a serious problem.

Two people walked in and met the Son of Heaven for worship. Heijian tilted his head slightly, just in time to see two small beans and two small daggers on the empress case, and saw Qi Lu standing respectfully on one side , narrowing his eyes slightly, seemed to understand a little bit.

Ji's father didn't have as many concerns as him. When he saw Qi Lu, he had a good impression of Qi Lu in his heart. A few days ago, they supported Ji Lin to take over the position together. Master Qi."

Qi Lu and Ji's father were on the same level, and Ji's father held the military power. Although Qi Lu was favored, but he had no soldiers, he also saluted Guo Gong and Ji's father, saying: "Guo Gong."

Ji Lin watched Guo Gong Ji's father, who had always been unsmiling, smiled at Qi Lv, and suddenly felt a little depressed again, thinking that the Tai Tuo was a good cook, and he had a good temper, and he was very easy to eat in the crowd. They have a good relationship. A few days ago, they were brothers with Ji Ya, and got the respect of Gongsun Zidu. After entering Luoshi, they became friends with Guo Gongji's father. It is also very good for Qi Lu's courtesy.

Ji Lin inexplicably felt a "sense of crisis", and he didn't know what the crisis was.

Ji Lin coughed, interrupted the "eye contact" between Guo Gongji's father and Qi Lu, and said: "The two of you are here for the affairs of Zheng Guo? Tell the Taifu about it."

As he spoke, he unfolded his sleeves, sat on the table, and continued to eat porridge. Qi Lu's eyelids twitched. Ji Lin had already finished his porridge. He seemed to think it was very delicious, so he took Qi Lu's remaining half bowl. Eat, that's what Qi Lu eats leftovers, the emperor didn't dislike it at all, it's too thrifty...

Duke Zhou clasped his shoulders and said, "Son of Heaven, the guilty minister knows that my king is worrying about his position as a nobleman in the court, so I come here to offer advice."

It is an old saying that once the emperor and the courtiers.Since ancient times, those who can be re-elected as the elders of the three dynasties must have their own merits, and this black shoulder is the Duke of Zhou who was re-elected to assist the emperor of Zhou in history.Just look at the long river of history, how many powerful ministers, such as He Shen, step down immediately as long as they are replaced, and their lives are at risk.

Now that the former king passed away and the new king ascended the throne, it is time for the old ministers to rectify. The first ones to be rectified are the court officials!

As I said before, the position of Qingshi is very important. To put it bluntly, the position of Qingshi is only below the emperor and above the Taifu. Although most of the Qingshi are princes, far away in the fief, they cannot Pointing the world, but that name, like the leader of the alliance of princes, is superior to others, and others have to look up to him.

For some reason, the position of a scholar is a position that you have to grab if you want to grab your head.

When King Ping of Zhou was alive, the Qingshi was Zheng Boyusheng. In his later years, King Zhou Ping wanted to hand over the position of Qingshi to Guo Gongji's father, but he failed. Instead, Zheng Boyusheng was dissatisfied. He personally came to Master Luo to reprimand King Ping of Zhou. King Ping Zhou was so frightened that he sent Wang Zihu to Zheng Guo as a hostage, and only then resolved Zheng Boyu's grievances.

Ji Lin saw all these things in his eyes, so as soon as he came to power, he wanted to abolish Zheng Bowu's position as a nobleman, otherwise Zheng Bo would take advantage of the young emperor and become even more unscrupulous.

Heijian came today to "give away the head".

Hei shoulders clasped his hands and said: "The criminal minister has in his hands the transfer letter and tokens of having an affair with Zheng Bo and plotting to treason and usurp."

That's right, Qi Lu almost forgot that Heijian was one of those who overran. This time Zheng Bo sent off his wife Zheng Ji to cover up the alliance letter of rebellion. Now Heijian has surrendered to Ji Lin, according to his resolute temperament , It is bound to hurt Zheng Bo in the back.

After all, Hei Jian and Zheng Bo were not real allies at all, they only had the same interests at that time, but now their interests have been divided, and they have naturally become sworn enemies.

When Qi Lv heard this, he raised his eyebrows and couldn't help saying: "Although Duke Zhou holds the transfer book, once the transfer book is taken out, the Duke of Zhou's rebellion will be announced to all the people in the world, and then he stabbed Zheng Bo in the back. , and will also inform the princes of the world, so...to be shamed by the people of the country and spurned by the princes, has Duke Zhou never thought about it?"

Indeed, Zhou Gong holds the "trump card" in his hand. As long as he takes out the transfer book, Zheng Boyu will be a sinner, and he will definitely put his tail between his legs, and dare not compete for the position of this nobleman. At that time, Ji Lin said that he would replace Qing Uncle Zheng certainly didn't dare to say a word.

But for Heijian, it is tantamount to injuring one hundred enemies and eight thousand self-injury, which is simply not worth the loss.

Heijian laughed lightly, and said: "The guilty minister only knows that the emperor doesn't want Wusheng to be this official. Now that Heijian's life belongs to the emperor, why should he care about his reputation? Heijian... has no reputation for a long time. That's pretty much it."

His words are a bit self-deprecating, but what he said is the truth.

Qi Lu was a little worried, and said: "According to Lu's knowledge, Zheng Bo's transfer of the book was not done by Zheng Bo, but by Zheng Guoqing's Dazai Jizhong. Will Zheng Bo push four or six, and put the crime on Jizhong's head? superior?"

Hei Jian shook his head with a smile and said: "Teacher Qi doesn't know something. This sacrificial offering to Zheng Bo is an arm. How can anyone endure the pain of breaking an arm? Besides, the sacrificial offering represents the Qing clan of Zheng Guo. Once Zheng Bo pushes Ji Zhong out to take the blame, it will only anger the Qing family in the country, and the rest of the day will be even more difficult."

Indeed, the Qing clan and the Gong clan in the state of Zheng had a lot of trouble. If Bo Zheng wanted to blame Ji Zhong for all his crimes, it would not be easy, and it would cause turmoil in the country.

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you two think?"

Qi Lv and Guo Gong looked at each other, the two grand masters were talking about them, Guo Gongji's father didn't say anything, he was a loyal person, no matter what Ji Lin said, he would do it, no matter it was right or wrong , without complaint.

Qi Lu pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo is very powerful. It is indeed useful to use transfer books to fight against it, but I am afraid that it will anger Uncle Zheng, and he will jump over the wall in a hurry..."

Ji Lin frowned slightly, not because he thought what Qi Lv said was wrong, but because he had a slight objection to "the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry". After all, the emperor will turn into a little dog at night...

Qi Lv also said: "If you don't announce the transfer of the book, but send a credible person with the transfer of the book to the state of Zheng to beat Zheng Bo, first, you can protect Zhou Gong's reputation, second, knock the mountains and shake the tiger, and third... also give Zheng Bo Let Bo save some face and let Zheng Bo take the initiative to abdicate for the virtuous, so there is no need to tear up face."

What Qi Lu said is reasonable, Ji Lin is the first to ascend the seat of the emperor, it is better to keep it private than to tear it openly...

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Who do you think is the most appropriate to take Yishu to Zheng State?"

If it was the same as before, Zhou Gong Heijian would definitely ask for his order, but now...he is a person who has overstepped once, and should not go abroad, it is better to avoid suspicion.

Guo Gongji's father clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Ji's father is willing to go!"

Ji Lin nodded and said: "I also have this intention in my heart, but Guo Gong and I have thought of going together. If this matter is handed over to Guo Gong, I can rest easy."

Guogong accepted the order with his fists clasped, and quickly withdrew to prepare for his envoy to the state of Zheng, and left the imperial chamber in Lu's palace.

Only Qi Lu and Duke Zhou were left in the hall. Ji Lin pondered for a moment, his eyes shook slightly, and he glanced at the empty little bean, and suddenly said, "Teacher has stepped down. I still have something to say to Duke Zhou." .”

When Qi Lu heard, "It's like being amnesty", he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Lu Jingnuo." Then he exited the imperial room and went outside.

Zhou Gong Hei Jian was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect Ji Lin to leave him alone, and immediately said: "I don't know what's the matter with the emperor, I need Hei Jian's help."

"Cough!" Ji Lin coughed, but did not explain immediately, Hei Jian chuckled and said, "Son of Heaven, let the sinful minister dare to guess, is it related to Taifu Qi?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Ji Lin's eyes, and he quickly regained his composure, without denying it, and said, "How did Duke Zhou know?"

Heijian smiled clearly and said: "The Son of Heaven trusts Taifu Qi. Whether it is against Zheng Guo or planning state affairs, he will never shy away from Taifu. But now that he is suddenly sending Qi Taifu away, it will be inevitable. It's Taifu Qi's business."

Ji Lin said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Duke Zhou's eyes."

Hei shoulders cupped his hands and said: "The guilty minister is just some tricks. It is the honor of the guilty minister to share the emperor's worries. Please show it to the emperor."

Ji Lin said faintly: "Teacher took in a little boy yesterday, a native of Wei. His name is Li Yangjian. You go and find out about him."

"Yes, the guilty minister respectfully."

Qi Lv withdrew from the road bedroom, and within two steps, he saw someone standing beside Yan Chao, who seemed to be waiting for someone, and it was Guo Gongji's father.

Qi Lu walked over with a smile, and said clearly, "Duke Guo is waiting for Duke Zhou?"

Heijian and Jifu are always inseparable. After all, they were both Taifu a few days ago, and they command the Luoshi King City with both civil and military affairs. There are many things that need to be discussed and cooperated together.

Unexpectedly, Guogong and Jifu laughed and said: "The Taifu guessed wrong, and Jifu is waiting for the Taifu."

"Me?" Qi Lu was really flattered and said, "Duke Guo is waiting for Lu?"

Guo Gongji's father is usually unsmiling, but he has the feeling of an "elegant uncle" when he smiles.

Guogong Jifu smiled, coughed, and said, "Actually, that's the case, and I'm not afraid of making fun of you, Taifu. Jifu likes to eat aquatic products."

Aquatic products are seafood, Jifu likes to eat sea food
