spring and autumn officials

Even if he understood, the Taifu must be avoiding him. When he thought that the Taifu was hiding from him on purpose, the emperor couldn't sit still immediately, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he rushed to Qi Lu's house aggressively with a look of "violence". houses.

Naturally, no one dared to stop the emperor, Ji Lin pushed open the door of the house, and saw the scene in front of him...

Qi Lu was administering medicine to himself, when the Son of Heaven broke in suddenly, this embarrassing scene made Qi Lu wish he could die on the spot, or find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

Seeing this scene, Ji Lin's eyes suddenly deepened. He was much calmer than Qi Lu. He turned around and closed the door of the house without saying a word, and then walked over steadily, approaching Qi Lu step by step. .

There was a "bang--" in Qi Lu's head. When he saw the emperor turning around, he thought that the emperor was also embarrassed and turned to run away. Who knew that the emperor was closing the door when he turned around, but he walked over calmly, so scared that Qi Lu immediately grabbed him. Pulling over the quilt, he covered his embarrassing self.

The Son of Heaven came over, squinting his eyes, he didn't look like a little milk dog in ordinary times, but like a beast that only eats people, his eyes were bottomless, he stared at Qi Lu, walked to the bed, " Boom!" With a loud bang, Qi Lubi was knocked down on the couch.

Qi Lu swallowed subconsciously, feeling that the Son of Heaven has become more and more proficient in the movement of Bidong recently, and Su Zhatian.

The distance between Ji Lin and Qi Lu was very close, Qi Lu hurriedly turned his head away, grabbed the quilt that covered him tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Lv pays homage to the Son of Heaven."

The corner of Ji Lin's lips twitched, and he said, "Oh? See you? Why didn't the master get up?"

Qi Lu: "..." On purpose, the emperor did it on purpose, he definitely saw it!

Of course Qi Lu couldn't get up, bit his lip and gave a dry laugh.

Ji Lin started asking again, "Didn't the Tai Tuo say that he was not in the palace?"

Qi Lu coughed lightly. He felt that the Son of Heaven was too close, and his breath brushed against his cheeks. He quickly turned his head slightly, and answered wisely, "Lü... just returned to the palace."

"Really?" the Son of Heaven said, stretching out his hand to pinch Qi Lu's chin so that he could not turn his head. He met Qi Lu's eyes with deeper eyes, and hoarsely asked the third question, saying, "Why is Tai Tuo?" Hiding from widows?"

It was simply a proposition. Qi Lu felt that the propositions he had seen before were weak, so he said the real proposition.

Qi Lv continued to be quick-witted, his eyes shook slightly, he couldn't turn his head away, so he just turned his eyes away, looked at other places, and said: "Lv no, no." He stuttered...

Ji Lin watched his eyes dodge, knowing that Qi Lu was avoiding him, maybe it was because of what happened that day, Ji Lin felt very regretful when he thought of this, the reason why he never expressed his love for Qi Lu was because he was afraid of Qi Lu. Lil evaded himself.

Ji Lin's thoughts on Qi Lu are not only admiration, but also admiration. Qi Lu is not only Ji Lin's favorite person, but also Master Luo's Tai Tuo. Ji Lin couldn't lose Qi Lu, so after careful consideration, he decided to keep his thoughts in his heart, and couldn't express them directly.

If the two love each other, then everyone is happy, but if it fails, the price will be too great.

Ji Lin was afraid that such a thing would happen, now that Qi Lu was avoiding him, it made him very restless, and he asked, "Really?"

Qi Lu immediately nodded his head like a slap in the face, very "hypocritical", and said solemnly: "Lü is loyal to the emperor, and dare not deceive him even a little bit, please ask the emperor to learn from him."

Ji Lin still didn't let go of Qi Lu's chin, forcing him to meet his eyes. Qi Lu glanced at another place, and Ji Lin slowly approached Qi Lu. For a moment, Qi Lu thought that the emperor would kiss him like this , causing Qi Lu almost to close his eyes.

Ji Lin didn't want to kiss suddenly, but moved closer to Qi Lu, not letting him turn his head, and not let him look away. The distance between the two is so close, Qi Lu can only see Ji Lin when he turns his eyes away. They are about to meet each other.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Qi Lv felt that his breath was entangled with the breath of the emperor, exchanging it happily, it was really daydreaming, especially in the case of eating marrow and knowing taste...

Just when Qi Lu was daydreaming, he heard the emperor's voice say in a low voice: "Don't hide from the widow, do you understand?"

Qi Lu wanted to nod immediately, but the distance between the two of them was too close, he might bump into the emperor when he nodded, so he kept his voice very low, trying to quibble, "Lü didn't..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Tianzi utter a nasal sound of "Huh?" The nasal sound was drawn out very long, and the ending sound rose up, like a small hook, which instantly hooked Qi Lv's soul away.

Qi Lv faltered in an instant, and replied honestly: "Go back to the Son of Heaven, Lv knows."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Ji Lin's stagnant face relaxed a little. Once he relaxed, he smiled at Qi Lu with a handsome puppy-like smile, and said, "The widow will help the Grand Tutor apply the medicine."

Qi Lv quickly said: "Don't bother the emperor, Lü can do it by himself."

Ji Lin didn't force him, so he backed away a few steps. As soon as he backed away, Qi Lu heaved a sigh of relief, feeling almost suffocated.

The Son of Heaven stepped back a few steps, and did not leave Qi Lu's house, but sat on the mat next to him, stretched out his sleeves, and the gesture of sitting down was handsome and noble.

Seeing that the emperor didn't intend to go out, Qi Lu faltered a bit, still clutching his quilt tightly, and said, "Emperor...can you please move first so that Lu can take the medicine?"

Sitting on the table, the Son of Heaven smiled at Qi Lu like a puppy. His smile was extremely gentle and sweet. Matching with the Son of Heaven's young and handsome face, he was a killer in human form.

It was such a handsome and harmless little milk dog who said in a low voice: "The Grand Tutor applies the medicine, the widow can sit here without getting in the way, and I can help the Grand Tutor to see where it hasn't been wiped."

Qi Lu: "..." The Tai Tuo's face was almost lost.

Ji Lin didn't go out, Qi Lu felt that his daily rascal's face was burned by the emperor's words, he suddenly found that the emperor had really grown up, the former emperor was so simple, he could never say such a rascal's words, but now Son of Heaven...

Qi Lu didn't dare to hide from the emperor anymore, because he knew that the fate of hiding from the emperor would be "tragic".

Because of Qi Lu's illness, they stayed in Laozheng City for a few more days, waiting for Qi Lu's body to recover, and then prepared to go back to Luoshi.

It's been a while since Ji Lin left Luoshi. They left Luoshi when the weather was just hot, and now the weather has turned cold. This trip to Zheng Guo removed Zheng Boyu's title of Qingshi, and shocked Song Guo, Chen Guo, Cai Guo, and Wei Guo have made outstanding military exploits in attacking the people.

When the emperor left Luoshi, he was still a young emperor who didn't know much about the world. When he returned to Luoshi, he would definitely... be surprised.

The emperor's team was ready to leave, and Mr. Zheng Bo sent it to the north gate of Old Zheng City in person. Zheng Bo and the emperor greeted each other politely, while Qi Lu was practicing with the tooth sacrifice.

Ji Ya is a native of Zheng State. The last time I went to Zheng Guo from Luoshi, Ji Ya naturally had to follow him back. Now that Qi Lu is going back to Luo Shi, Ji Ya can't follow him. I'm really sad, and I can't bear to say goodbye to Qi Luyi. .

Ji Ya grabbed Qi Lu's hand without letting go for a moment, and said, "Brother, are you really leaving? Don't you want to stay for a few more days?"

Qi Lv smiled, only felt that Ji Ya was like a kitten, tired of himself, and never let go for a moment, comfortingly said: "I have lived for a long time, I can't live longer, and I will pay back for my brother in the future." When I come back to see you, it’s not like I’ll never see you again.”

When Ji Ya heard it, he even triggered his parting emotions, and even hugged Qi Lu, holding Qi Lu in his arms!Ji Lin was courting Zheng Bo, but he glanced at Qi Lu from the corner of his eye, because he was worried about Qi Lu's "personal relationship" with Ji Ya. Openly hugged Taifu Qi.

Ji Ya held Qi Lu in his arms, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, I won't see you in the future, so what should I do if I ask you to cook for me?"

Qi Lu said helplessly: "Lü has already ordered the dining room and handed over the recipe to the cook. I just have to put 120 of my heart on it, and I will definitely be able to eat delicious food."

Ji Ya said again: "It's not made by brother, it's not delicious."

Qi Lu was actually quite happy to hear him say that, Ji Ya would not lie, what he said was not to fool Qi Lu, but the truth.

Qi Lu was being moved, Ji Ya suddenly said: "Yes, I almost forgot to ask brother, these days my brother is always recuperating in the dormitory, and I don't have time to ask him."

Seeing the fierce gleam in Ji Ya's eyes, Qi Lu was a little surprised and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Ji Ya gritted his teeth viciously, stopped holding Qi Lu, moved his wrists, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Who dares to touch my brother, who is that bastard?! Brother, don't be afraid of losing face, my mouth He is very strict and will never talk nonsense, I let him lose his life!"

"Cough, cough—" Qi Lu didn't expect this problem, and immediately coughed, patted his chest quickly, and then stabilized.

Ji Ya didn't know why Qi Lu was so excited, he was still cursing and said, "Brother, tell me, I have eunuched eighteen generations of his clan!"

And the emperor who was greeted cordially by Ji Ya was standing behind Ji Ya at this moment, staring at Ji Ya faintly.

Gongsunzi stood aside and was also in the ranks of practicing. Seeing Ji Ya hugging Qi Lu, he took a deep breath and kept a handsome smile. When he was about to leave, he could bear it for a while, and looked behind to see where Ji Ya was going.

Who knew that Ji Ya not only hugged Qi Lu, but also began to curse people, Gongsunzi is a person with "long eyes", he can see the emperor's thoughts on Qi Lu, and Gongsunzi is also a smart man People, the man who can keep Qi Lu secret and not reveal it must be an extraordinary man.

Either Mr. Qi did not dare to disclose, or Mr. Qi did not want to disclose.

Under the whole world, the person Qi Lu dared not disclose may not have been born yet, so there is only Qi Taifu who is unwilling to disclose and deliberately conceals a possibility.

Therefore, Gongsunzi has already guessed who Qi Taifu's "wild man" is, isn't he the current emperor?

Ji Ya cursed the emperor so much that Gongsunzi couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Ji Ya and said, "It's getting late, don't delay the team on the road."

Although Ji Ya was very dissatisfied, the time to set off had arrived.

Zheng Bowei stretched out his sleeves, and Jizhong personally brought a bronze Chengpan, holding two gorgeous wine glass earcups. Zheng Bowusheng held up one of the earcups, respected Ji Lin with both hands, and said: " Son of Heaven, please."

Ji Lin held the sleeve robe with his left hand, and held the wine glass and earcup with his right hand. Zheng Bowusheng also pointed to the wine glass earcup, and said respectfully: "Wusheng respects the emperor, and practices for the emperor."

Ji Lin said indifferently: "Let's say goodbye today, and hope that Mr. Zheng can take care of himself."

After speaking, he raised the wine glass and ear cup, drank the wine in one gulp, turned the wine glass and ear cup upside down, indicating that the drink was finished, and then put the ear cup back into the bronze Chengpan held by Jizhong.

Qi Lu watched Uncle Zheng toast the emperor, the emperor raised his neck, and the movement of drinking was very bold, the smooth curvature of the neck, the Adam's apple rolled slightly due to the movement of drinking, and a drop of wine slid down the corner of his lips, all the way playful It slid down the neck of the emperor, rolled into the black collar, and disappeared without a trace.

Qi Lu couldn't help but click his tongue, and sighed at the handsomeness of the emperor, even the act of drinking has its own hormones, and the sexy valve seems to be broken.

When Zheng Bowu paid homage again, Ji Lin climbed into the carriage, got on the carriage, and just as he was lowering the curtain of the carriage, he suddenly turned around and said, "Teacher, get on the carriage and take part in the ride."

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lv originally thought he would be able to escape the catastrophe, but he still wanted to get in the car and take part in the ride, so he had to bow his hands respectfully and say, "Lv thank you, Son of Heaven."

Qi Lu boarded the cart, got into the cart, lowered the curtain, and the emperor sat on the mat of the cart, sitting upright, perhaps because of his childhood education, the emperor's sitting posture has always been so solemn, wearing a black suit The emperor's robes, and the crown symbolizing power on his head, to be honest, this kind of clothes, this sitting posture, is full of abstinence...

The car started quickly, and the brigade set off, and the marching sound of "tapping, treading" came from outside the carriage.

Accompanied by such majestic and majestic marching sounds, Qi Lv heard the emperor's low voice say: "The Tai Tuo hasn't given the medicine today, come here, I will give the Tai Tu the medicine."

Qi Lu's eyes widened, and he really wanted to ask subconsciously, in the car?

It was already very shameful to apply the medicine, and he was still in the cart, which made Qi Lu suddenly think of some inappropriate scenes, so he quickly lowered his head.There was a landslide and tsunami in his heart, but his face was extremely calm, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the emperor, Lu's body is already in good condition, and there is no need to take medicine."

It had been a few days since that day, Ji Lin was dubious, and said: "If the Grand Tutor is not feeling well, you must tell the widows. The journey from Zheng Guo to Luoshi is tiring, and the Grand Tutor must not be brave."

Qi Lu heard the emperor let go, and quickly said: "Yes, thank you for your concern."

The group returned to Master Luo, and the journey back was smooth without any trouble. Ji Lin was afraid that Qi Lu's body would not be able to take it, so he walked slowly and steadily all the way.

After returning to Luoshi, Ji Lin immediately held a court meeting and announced the identities of Gongsun Hua and Zhu Dan. One of them was "fished" by Qi Lv from Zheng Guoyu, and the other was snatched from Zheng Guo. No small matter, Gongsun Hua followed Qi Lu, and Zhu Dan and Shi Hou joined the Huben army to help the emperor train Huben.

This trip to Zheng State, experienced the siege of Meishan, the Evil Cao Huimeng, and the famous Battle of the East Gate of Zheng State, there is no incident that is not frightening?The young emperor easily resolved them one by one, which surprised many high officials who watched the excitement in Luoshi court, and many old officials of Luoshi began to look at the young new emperor seriously.

Qi Lu was a major contributor to this mission. Naturally, many people came to curry favor with Qi Lu, but to Qi Lu's great relief, the people who came to curry favor with him were shunted away.

After returning from this mission, the most famous person was not Qi Lu, but someone else, so some of the high officials in the court went to visit that person, so Qi Lu was naturally much more relaxed.

If you want to ask who this person is, who else can he be?Of course, it is the first great Zhou Qingshi whom the new emperor personally accepts his fate——Guo Gong Ji Father!

Luoshi's Qingshi is a high-ranking official who steals his head. Except for the emperor, Qingshi is above any princes. It can be said that Qingshi is the real person who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Everyone thinks that Qi Lu or Heijian are the candidates for the emperor in the eyes of the emperor. Heijian, the Duke of Zhou, once supported Wang Zihu's rebellion, so it is impossible for the emperor to hand over the position of Qingshi to Heijian, so the title of Qingshi will definitely be It fell on the head of Qi Lu, the Taifu.

It's a pity that everyone guessed wrong. They thought they would easily see through the young emperor's thoughts, but who knows, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and he will not deceive me.

The title of Qingshi finally fell on the head of Guo Gongji's father. In fact, Guo Gongji's father is a potential stock that has been neglected all the time.Guogong is in charge of 5000 men and horses in the eighth division of Zhou. So others ignored such a low-key existence.

The sudden appointment of Guo Gongji's father as a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty caught many people by surprise, and made many people who were not close to Guo Gong feel the crisis, so they hurried to curry favor with Guo Gong.

Because of this, Qi Lu's face is much more at ease.

Qi Lu is a person who is afraid of trouble. In the past, his only hobby was food, but now he has an extra emperor. Besides, he only needs to spend enough money.If Qi Lv became an imperial official and had endless things to do every day, where would he have time to cook meals?Therefore, Qi Lu has no ambitions for the position of Qing Shi. Ji Lin handed over the position of Qing Shi to Duke Guo, and Qi Lu really agreed.

But Qi Lu thinks so, and many people don't think so. Many people think that they bet on the wrong treasure. The most trusted person of the original emperor is Guo Gong, not Qi Lu, nor Hei Jian. These people think that Qi Lu and Hei Jian The shoulder is actually out of favor.

Qi Lu was just regarded by many people as an out-of-favor grand tutor, and Hei Jian's side was more troublesome.

Hei Jian is Zhou Gong, Zhou Gong has a lot of people, and there are many disciples. Hei Jian used to be so powerful that he wished that half of the court could be in his hands. Harvest, instead, let the stunned head of Duke Guo be picked up. Many people in Duke Zhou's family were not convinced, and wanted to take the opportunity to take the black shoulders to bring down Duke Guo.

Qi Lv "off work" from the political affairs hall at noon, went to the dining room, intending to take advantage of the noon time to make two snacks for the tooth-beating ceremony, who knew that when he was going to the dining room, he met Guo Gongji's father.

Qi Lv was a little surprised, why did Duke Guo and Ji's father stay with such a remote place?

The dining room is a place where you can’t go to the elegant hall. The dining room is full of slaves, so the dining room of the Luoshi Palace is also in a remote place. marvel.

Guo Gongji's father did not wear black armor today, but was wearing an official robe. He grabbed the hem of his robe and squatted in the grass. Decent, if a person of Qi Lu's stature hides in the grass, he may not be able to see it, it can really play a role in hiding, and Guo Gong...

Ji's father's tall figure was squatting in the grass with his back bent, which looked a little funny, Qi Lu couldn't help but said, "Gu Gong, are you...?"

Guo Gongji's father hurriedly "hushed" and said, "Keep your voice down."

Qi Lv looked around, and saw a few figures not far away, probably scholar-bureaucrats, who seemed to be looking for someone, and murmured: "There is no one here, or go back to the Zhengshitang."

The few people left after talking.

Qi Lv suddenly realized that Guo Gongji's father was hiding from someone, who was hiding from him?Of course it was those who flattered and flattered him.

Guo Gongji's father usually works in the political affairs hall, and there are not so many people to curry favor with him when he is on business. After all, it is "working time", but when it comes to lunch at noon, a sea of ​​people from Wuyang and Wuyang rushed towards Guo Gong. Either to curry favor with him, or to congratulate him on his promotion to Qing Shi.

Guo Gong really couldn't stand up to these people's graciousness, and he didn't like to be submissive, so he ran out and squatted here to hide.

Qi Lu had never seen such a miserable Qing Shi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, those people are gone, come out."

Father Guo looked carefully, cautiously, for fear that those scholar-bureaucrats would go back and forth, and checked again and again before he got out of the grass, dusted off the dust and leaves on his body, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Let the master Look at the joke."

Qi Lv said: "Duke Guo looks like this, so he must have not had lunch yet?"

The scholar-bureaucrats have a special lunch. The scholar-bureaucrats who come to the political affairs hall are in charge of the meals, but if they go to have lunch, they will definitely meet more scholar-bureaucrats. Father Guo Gongji wants to have a "peaceful" lunch It is almost impossible to eat, so Qi Lu concluded that Guo Gong hadn't eaten yet.

Guo Gongji's father said with a dry smile: "I don't want to hide it from my brother, how can I dare to eat?"

Qi Lu then said: "It just so happens that Lu is going to the dining room. If Mr. Guo doesn't dislike it, why don't you come to the dining room and have a casual meal?"

Guo Gongji's father was worried about being hungry, how could he dislike him, and immediately said: "My brother can treat me to dinner, do I have any reason to dislike it?"

Guo Gong is a straightforward person, and Qi Lu is the most familiar with him in Luoshi, so they hit it off immediately, and the two of them were ready to go to the dining room.

They walked from the small path to the dining room, Qi Lv was very familiar with this road, and said: "Don't worry, Guo Gong, this small road is passed by every day, it is convenient and fast to go from the dining room to the Zhengshitang, and it is guaranteed that you will not encounter people." to the second person..."

Qi Lu was making a deal with Guo Gongji's father. Guo Gong was afraid of encountering a scholar-bureaucrat, so he surrounded himself again. Qi Lu had already uttered his big words, but he slapped his face in an instant, and before the words fell, he heard someone talking in front of him. , is there someone?And not just one!

Qi Lv thought he was the only one who knew about such a remote path. After all, the front led to the dining room, and scholars and bureaucrats would not come here because of their identities. How could they know that there were people today.

A voice said: "Sovereign, you are open, we have been talking for a long time, what do you mean?"

When Qi Lu heard it, the suzerain?The person who can be called the suzerain these days shows two points. First, there is the Zong family, and those who have the Zong family must be big families.Second, he is still the head of the Zong family, so his status is different.

The clans in the Spring and Autumn Period were not as remarkable as the four generations of the current family. At that time, genealogy was very important, and the main branch of the family was involved in a wide range of branches.Shi Hou is the suzerain of the Shi family. The reason why Ji Lin and Qi Lu kept Shi Hou was not that they could not kill him, but because they were unwilling to kill him. With the young suzerain of the family by his side, it is always easy to handle things, and it may be useful someday.

Qi Lu was a little curious, whose suzerain was conspiring here?

Then I heard another voice say: "Yes, suzerain, you are talking! If the position of Qing Shi is really occupied by Qi Taifu, we will not talk. Qi Taifu is the favorite minister of the emperor. , and good at making surprise soldiers, we can't fight, but what's the matter with the Jifu of Guo State?!"

Guo Gongji's father didn't realize it, and he was named inexplicably.

Qi Lu glanced at Guo Gong, and Guo Gong glanced at Qi Lu again, neither of them expected to be named, and those people followed up and said: "That's right, so what is Father Ji? The soldiers and horses of the Eighth Division, but the Eighth Division of Zhou was not trained/taught by our suzerain? The father of Ji just took over the Eighth Division of Zhou from you, Duke Zhou, and now he still has a swollen face to fill his face. Fatty!"

When Qi Lu heard this, he suddenly realized that the suzerain was not Duke Zhou Heijian!

Guo Gongji's father was taken aback when he heard it, and the words were all on this point, if the suzerain didn't do it, don't think about it, it was Heijian himself.

"metropolitan!"

"Sovereign, speak up!"

"What's the deal?"

"Could it be that you are afraid of that Duke of Guo? Our Zhou Duke's lineage is much nobler than their Guo State, can you be afraid of them?"

The more those people talked, the more passionate they became, Heijian finally spoke quietly, his voice was not loud, but he said loudly, "I know about the matter of the gentleman."

All the people immediately calmed down, as if they were waiting for Hei Jian to continue talking. For a while, Guo Gongji's father also held his breath. He didn't want to eavesdrop, but he really wanted to know how Hei Jian would answer.

Then I heard Hei Jian's voice, without a trace of emotion, saying: "Guo State is just a small country, and the soldiers and horses led by Guo Gong are also cultivated by Hei Jian. There is nothing to be afraid of. It is worth doing so." Make a fuss, that Duke Guo has no calculations in his mind, he is the only one who is fooled, the emperor is young and vigorous, let them be stubborn first, so as not to mess up."

Heijian's voice was very calm, every word was very calm, without any waves, but Guo Gongji's father heard it in his ears, but there was a sudden "gudong!" in his heart, as if he had sunk into a huge stone, and it was still ice. A stone made of a piece of stone sinks deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper...

Because of Heijian's words, Zhou Gong's clansmen seemed to be appeased, and gradually calmed down, Heijian said: "Now that the position of Qing Shi falls on the head of Guo Gong, we can't slack off and do our duty well." There can be no slight difference in the matter, do you understand?"

"Yes, please rest assured, suzerain."

"Yes, the suzerain is at ease."

"I'll wait for your promise."

Hei Jian didn't say a few words, those people dispersed quickly, and the sound spread for a while, and gradually went away, leaving only Hei Jian alone.

Hei Jian didn't stay where he was, he raised his footsteps and seemed to be heading towards the Political Affairs Hall.He went to the political affairs hall, Qi Lu and Guo Gong were still standing there, so Hei Jian walked towards them, took two steps, and the three of them immediately met each other.

Qi Lu was smiling, his face remained unchanged, Guo Gongji's father had a blank face, not just an expression, and Hei Jian saw the two people mentioned just now, with a rare flash of panic on his face.

Qi Lv said with a smile: "Duke Zhou is busy with all sorts of things these days, and he can appease the clansmen. Are you going to the Zhengshitang again?"

Hei Jian's expression was even more embarrassing, and he glanced at Guo Gongji's father, who was stuck on the spot like a wooden stake, looking at Hei Jian nonchalantly, as if he hadn't recovered from what he said just now.

Zhou Gong Heijian saw Guo Gong's reaction, his lips twitched, his face sank, and he said, "Guo Gong heard Hei Jian's words just now?"

Guo Gong was a little flustered when he asked him such a question, and he didn't know why he was flustered. It was clear that they were talking about him behind his back, and he was caught by him. In a panic, he said dully: "Listen... I heard it, but Father Ji didn't eavesdrop on purpose, he just happened to pass by."

As he spoke, he was afraid that Hei Jian would think it was too coincidental, so he said: "The Tai Tu can testify."

The corners of Hei Jian's lips twitched slightly, he raised his large sleeve robe, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Did Guo Gong hear Hei Jian's intention?"

"Intent?" Father Ji was stunned for a moment, but didn't answer for a moment.

Seeing their interaction, Qi Lu couldn't help laughing, he couldn't bear to see Guo Gong's dull appearance, so he said: "Guo Gong, please don't worry, Zhou Gong didn't really mean to target Guo Gong, what Zhou Gong said just now, obviously It is used to prevaricate and appease the tribe."

Moreover, Heijian is very smart, he seems to be speaking ill of Duke Guo, and after a few words, the clansman resonates and relaxes his mind, which shows that Heijian knows the art of speaking very well.

Qi Lu is a transparent person, and he is an outsider regarding the position of Qingshi, he has no jealousy or fear, so he sees it more transparently than Duke Zhou's clansmen, so Qi Lu didn't make trouble just now.

Guo Gongji's father is not stupid either, although he usually looks dull and honest, but he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he is by no means an idle person, but Guo Gongji's father is an insider, after hearing what he just said, There is a little subtlety in my heart.

Seeing Duke Guo, Heijian still stared blankly at him, and said: "Master Guo must have understood the current situation, and wants my people to keep quiet and shut up. Hei Jian is also looking forward to what Duke Guo will show in the future. s method."

After Hei Jian finished speaking, he patted Duke Guo on the shoulder lightly, and then walked away...

Guo Gongji's father took the position of Qingshi, and he didn't intend to hold a banquet extravagantly. Although many people have been promoted to drink, but Guo Gong doesn't like to socialize. When drinking, he only likes people who are right with him It's fun to drink together.

But ever since he heard the conversation between Hei Jian and the clansman that day, Father Ji of Guo Gong understood a problem, sometimes he had to argue, he became a minister, and he has not yet taken office as a new official, how can he be convincing?

In the end, Guo Gongji's father decided to hold a banquet for the ministers and officials of the court, and let everyone come to participate, so as to take the opportunity to establish a prestige.

Ji Lin found that since returning to Master Luo, Ji Lin could never find Qi Lv, and every time he inquired, he always said: "Return to the Son of Heaven, the grand master has left the palace to go to the mansion of Duke Guo."

Ji Lin knew that Qi Lu and Duke Guo had a good relationship, and they were close on a daily basis, but Qi Lu had already done such close things with him, and even walked so closely with Duke Guo, even if they were "innocent", Ji Lin My heart is also very sour.

Qi Lu is always absent these days, the reason is very simple, it is because he took Gongsun Hua to prepare a banquet for the Duke of Guo, Qi Lu has to go to work during the day, and goes to the Duke of Guo's mansion to give advice at night, and he has not been there for several days. He went back to live in the palace, but did not go back to Taifu's mansion, but lived in Guo Gong's mansion.

In this way, the emperor was even more appetizing, and the most appetizing thing was that Qi Lv personally invited the emperor to participate in Guogong's promotion banquet.

Usually the emperor would not participate in this kind of banquet, and it was a great honor for the emperor to attend.Guo Gongji's father this time is to establish his prestige, so if the emperor can attend the banquet, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Qi Lu, as Guo Gong's most loyal buddy, naturally wants to help him invite the emperor to the banquet.

Ji Lin has also heard these days, many people are not convinced by Duke Guo, he planned to participate in the Yan Yin, but Qi Lu came to invite Ji Lin, Ji Lin just drank a lot of bitter wine.

On the day of Yan Yin, Ji Lin and Qi Lv came to the mansion of Duke Guo Ji's father together.Other people's promotion banquets were full of singing and dancing, but Guo Gongji's father's promotion banquet had no singing or dancing.

Sure enough, this was not a banquet, it was like a military parade.

Seeing this scene, Ji Lin smiled slightly and said, "Is this the Taifu's idea?"

Qi Lv really wanted to complain, but he had to say that the emperor knew him too well. This was his own idea. He asked Guo Gongji and his father to set up two teams of soldiers and horses to bluff the officials who came to the banquet.

As soon as Ji Lin walked in, everyone present came up to greet him, knelt down, and shouted, "Greetings to my king! Greetings to the Son of Heaven!"

Ji Lin said indifferently: "Today, the widow is here to participate in Guo Gong's swallow drink, just like you, so there is no need to be so polite, just get up."

Ji Lin said it very politely, and waved his hand, and gave his congratulatory gift to Ji's father. What Ji Lin gave to Duke Guo was a pair of jackets with first-class craftsmanship. Gorgeous, and very heroic.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "I hope Duke Guo can wear this jacket and protect me for ten thousand years."

Guo Gongji's father immediately knelt on the ground, put his hands over the Jiezhou, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you my king! Ji's father will definitely do his best and live up to the grace of God!"

The emperor sent congratulatory gifts, and other people also sent congratulatory gifts one after another. As Duke Guo's biggest opponent, Duke Zhou Heijian also came to the banquet. His congratulatory gift was similar to Ji Lin's, it was a sword.

Heijian and Jifu are very familiar, both of them were the prince's masters, Heijian can say without exaggeration that he knows what Duke Guo likes most, so he gave this sword as a gift.

Sure enough, when Guo Gongji's father saw this sword, he couldn't put it down immediately, and rubbed it in his hand repeatedly, wishing he could treat that sword as a little lover. Seeing his reaction, Hei Jian felt a little proud at once, after all, Guo Gong's He understands his thoughts too well, and he understands them too well.

The Son of Heaven sent Jiezhou, the Duke of Zhou gave the sword, and it was Qi Lu's turn. To be honest, Qi Lu was still poor. He bought peppercorns with all his money on weekdays. Now the family has to raise another Gongsun Hua. So Qi Taifu's family property is not much.

Qi Lv has been thinking for a long time, what should I give him? Compared with financial power, let alone the emperor, he can't even compare with a little finger of Heishao, so he can't fight for financial power, and it's too stupid to fight for financial power. There is a saying that is good, courtesy is light and affection is heavy!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Lu waved his hand with a smile, and a small trolley was quickly pushed by Lu Yangjian and Gongsun Hua, and a sweet smell suddenly hit his face, indescribably smooth and tantalizing .

Everyone had never seen this scene before, and immediately took a deep breath, wanting to know what it was, Qi Lv smiled knowledgeably and said: "Duke Guo is promoted, and Lv should have given some precious things. Okay, but Lu thought again and again, as a high official, what kind of precious things have you never seen before? He must be more knowledgeable than Lu, so Lu personally made this... cheesecake for Guo Gong. "

That's right, that incense
