spring and autumn officials

Guogong Jifu's promotion Yanyin, Qi Lu gave Jifu a cheese cake made by himself, which made the emperor sour.

The emperor found that there are more and more foods that he has never eaten, but others have.

This is not a good sign, the emperor felt that as an emperor, he should be able to tolerate him, but Ji Lin's capacity was obviously not enough.

Ji Lin maintained a decent smile, and said to Qi Lu, "Teacher, add some more cakes for me."

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched wildly, and he said hesitantly, "Son of Heaven, do you still... eat?"

Although the cake was given to Guo Gongji's father, but because many people were present, Guo Gongji's father divided the cake directly and shared it with everyone. After all, the cake is so big and has so many layers that one person cannot finish it. I'm afraid it's broken, and it's ruined the grand master's intentions, and it's only when everyone eats together that they feel lively.

Ji Lin endured the sourness in his heart, and ate the cake with big mouthfuls. He thought that although the Taifu didn't make this cake for himself, he wanted to eat more than others, so that no one else could eat it. , isn't it the cake that Taifu made for himself?

Ji Lin didn't feel that his thinking was very childish, nor did he feel that his thinking was so strange, but also thought that he was really witty and courageous, so the others didn't take a bite at all, and just ate the cake.

Qi Lu knew that the Son of Heaven liked snacks like dim sum, but... the Son of Heaven had already eaten seven pieces of cake, and this cake was made by Qi Lu himself. They were all real cheese, and they were different from the ones Hyundai bought outside.Such a strong cheese, if you eat too much, it will definitely hurt your heart, and it is not easy to digest, and it will make the emperor eat something wrong.

Qi Lu hesitated, but Ji Lin said very firmly, "Yes, I will add some more to the widow."

Qi Lu: "..." The Son of Heaven will definitely gain ten catties tomorrow!

Ji Lin occupied the cheesecake by himself. Because he expressed an unprecedented "possessive desire" for the cheesecake, other officials dared not eat it at all. Father Guo didn't know the reason why the emperor liked cheesecake so much, he thought The emperor really likes to eat this sweet taste, so he simply keeps his own piece, and if the emperor doesn't have enough food, he will give it to the emperor.

Ji Lin's belly was crooked, he was tall and big, and his belly was big, but at the end he couldn't eat anymore, a mouthful almost came out of his throat, and he covered his mouth and almost spit it out, Qi Lu saw it Eyelids twitched wildly, not knowing what happened to the Son of Heaven today, it was as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.

The Son of Heaven has always been targeting cheese cakes, and the officials are drinking and eating cautiously. Duke Zhou Heijian drank some wine, and there are also his clansmen at the banquet, and they are not young or old.These tribesmen came to participate in today's Yanyin, purely to see the "lively" of Guo Gong, who knew that Guo Gong would come to see a dismounting power as soon as he came up.

There were so many clanging and standing soldiers on Yanyin, not only that, but the emperor himself came to attend the banquet of Duke Guo and presented congratulatory gifts. As a result, these clansmen felt even more bitter, thinking that if Duke Guo gained power, he would be shaken. their power.

The clansmen gathered around Duke Zhou's black shoulders, not daring to make too much noise, and whispered, "Sovereign, you have an idea. Seeing that Duke Guo is already so powerful, what can we do?"

"That's right, why don't you just watch Duke Guo's face grow stronger day by day?"

"One day, it will squeeze us out."

Heijian was already very upset, but now hearing these tribesmen complaining, he was even more upset.Although the emperor is a young new emperor, Heijian already understands that Ji Lin is no longer the Prince Lin of the past, nor the Prince Lin of the past, but the current emperor Ji Lin.From Ji Lin's attack on Zheng Guo, it can be seen how determined the new emperor's thinking is to suppress hegemony. Zheng Guo is the current hegemony country, and if the emperor wants to stabilize his position, he must restrain and suppress such a hegemony country.

And the power of Heijian, within Luoshi, also belongs to the dominant position. Heijiao is very clear that in addition to attacking the hegemony of the fiefdom, the new emperor will definitely take advantage of the hegemony of Luoshi, and these clansmen don't know. Go up and go up.

In today's early Spring and Autumn Period, the emperors still pursued the idea of ​​respecting the king and suppressing hegemony. In the era of the first ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi, he spoke to the emperor and changed the idea of ​​​​respecting the king and suppressing hegemony, and changed it to respecting the king and rejecting barbarians.

Respecting the king, needless to say, is respecting the emperor of Zhou.And what is the difference between suppressing tyrants and rejecting barbarians?With the idea of ​​respecting the king and fighting the barbarians, Duke Huan of Qi successfully ascended to the throne of the head of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, achieved the hegemony of the great country, beat the local princes, and even the emperor of Zhou, and made the world worship.

It can be said that for the local fiefdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period, the idea of ​​fighting barbarians was more avant-garde and more powerful than suppressing tyrants.

Repelling barbarians means treating foreign lands, while suppressing hegemony means dealing with internal troubles.Crusade against Xirong people, Beidi people, Dongyi people, and Nanman people belongs to the category of fighting against barbarians.The crusade against unruly overlords and princes is the category of suppressing hegemony.

Many people may think that Duke Huan of Qi has made great achievements, so his thoughts of fighting against barbarians must be better than his thoughts of suppressing hegemony, and that being unanimous to the outside world is better than fighting in the nest.

But for the emperor, especially for the young emperor Ji Lin, fighting barbarians is not necessarily better than suppressing tyrants.

Because expelling barbarians is beneficial to the feudal princes, they keep expanding their country with the same foreign thinking, while suppressing hegemony is obviously more powerful to the emperor, restraining the expansion of the hegemony, and centralizing power in the emperor, so the emperor will It will better grasp the fief of the entire Great Zhou.

Even though Ji Lin has just come to power, but he knows very well that the most important means now must be to suppress hegemony. Only when the overlord country surrenders, can he secure his seat as the emperor, otherwise how can Ji Lin sleep alone with a pack of wolves around him? Feel safe?

Heijian is a transparent person, and he also understands this truth. Ever since he was arrested for rebellion, he felt more and more that the ignorant and ignorant prince had grown up, and he couldn't play it in his hands. Hei Jian is getting more and more careful.

He manages Zhou Gong's clan so carefully, but many people in the clan have high-sighted eyes and low-handed abilities. They wish their nostrils grew on their foreheads, and they use their nostrils to treat people every day. They look down on this and that.It really wasn't that Hei Jian didn't confront them, it was that after Hei Jian confronted them, these clansmen clearly understood in their hearts, but they still pretended to be confused and urged Hei Jian to expand the power of Duke Zhou's clan.

Ambition is really an anesthetic, which paralyzes the thinking and the sense of danger, and will do anything for the bloody smell, especially the Zhou Gong clan is on the top of the black shoulders, not them.

Hei Jian was really bored in his heart, obviously the one who became a court official was Guo Gongji's father, Guo Gong should be the most annoying one, but the people from the partial tribe came to put pressure on him, Hei Jian listened to the crow-like mess in his ears Voice, drinking one after another, just drinking with a dark face, not wanting to say a word.

Heijian's drinking capacity is actually very average, but he seldom gets drunk. After all, Heijian is a deep-minded person, and it is inevitable to make mistakes after drinking. He never makes mistakes.

Today's Hei Jian got drunk very quickly, because when he was drunk, he didn't have to listen to the crow-like cries of those clansmen...

Qi Lu went to the dining room to look around. Today's Yan Yin was planned by Qi Lu, and these meals were also arranged by Qi Lu. He went to the dining room to look around to avoid any mistakes.

When he came out of the dining room, he saw someone squatting on the ground. Qi Lv thought it was the servants of Duke Guo's mansion who were slacking off. There were not many servants in Father Ji's mansion, so they couldn't be busy at all. Are you lazy?

Qi Lv walked over, just about to catch the lazy man, when he took a closer look, he was not a servant at all, but Duke Zhou Heijian!

Hei Jian squatted on the ground, changing from his usual mysterious, refined, and aloof appearance, the movements of squatting on the ground were particularly down-to-earth.

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Duke Zhou? Are you...?"

When Heijian heard Qi Lu calling him, he raised his head and looked at Qi Lu in confusion. As soon as he raised his head, Qi Lu understood that Zhou Gong must be drunk, and those eyes looked at him with watery eyes. In the past, he was a cold and cold cat owner, but at this moment he has become a clingy little milk cat.

Qi Lu said: "Duke Zhou is probably drunk, let Lu help Duke Zhou."

Heijian was so drunk that he couldn't stand up from the ground at all. He squatted on the ground, and because of dizziness, he wobbled when he stood up, as if he was seasick.

Qi Lu supported Zhou Gong, his black shoulders were like a big weight, he yanked Qi Lu hard, Qi Lu was like pulling a carrot, but he couldn't help Zhou Gong up from the ground.

Qi Lu was sweating profusely, and Heijian was still drunk and said: "Don't...don't move, I'm dizzy...I'm dizzy, who is rowing? Don't shake it! Stop, stop..."

Qi Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Duke Zhou, no one is rowing, we are on flat ground."

"Nonsense...nonsense!" Heijian spoke with a big tongue, not showing his usual steady appearance at all.

Qi Lu took a deep breath. With the experience of last failure, he planned to change his strategy this time and let Zhou Gong hold his neck, so that if he tried harder, he could pull Zhou Gong, the big carrot, from the ground.

Qi Lu said as if coaxing a child: "Duke Zhou, come, hold Lu, right..."

Qi Lu wrapped Duke Zhou's arm around his neck and asked him to hug his neck. Qi Lu put his hands on Duke Zhou's waist and helped him up from the ground.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up a little bit, Hei Jian suddenly laughed without any warning when he saw that he was about to succeed.

Hei Jian has a slender figure and a very weak appearance. He is the type that is completely "pollution-free", giving people the illusion that he needs protection.

Qi Lu was dumbfounded by his laughter. It turned out that the black shoulders had itchy flesh on his waist and eyes. He drank a lot of wine and didn't hold back, so he burst into tears from laughter.

Hei Jian smiled, and squeezed Qi Lu even harder, "Boom!" With a sound, the two of them fell to the ground directly, and Qi Lu gave Duke Zhou a standard wall-dong.

Qi Lu wanted to get up, but Hei Jian still held his neck and did not let go. Qi Lu couldn't get up at all, and quickly patted Hei Jian's arm, saying: "Duke Zhou, loosen up a little, Lu is going to be strangled to death."

Ji Lin disappeared Taifu Qi in a blink of an eye. Because Taifu Qi had a "conviction" and was always lost, Ji Lin was very concerned, so he was ready to get up and look for him. Follow up.

Father Ji said: "That's right, Taifu should go to the dining room. Father Ji will lead the way for the Son of Heaven."

The two of them went along the road to the dining room, and before reaching the dining room, they heard Qi Lu's voice saying: "Duke Zhou, relax, you are going to strangle Lu."

When Ji Lin heard it, his face darkened with a "shua!". After all, the voice was really ambiguous, and it came from a remote place. Those who didn't know it thought it was someone's cheating!

The Son of Heaven walked over quickly, but Duke Guo was also taken aback, followed by striding over, and took a closer look...

Good guy, Taifu Qi and Duke Zhou rolled on the ground, Duke Zhou held Taifu Qi's neck intimately, and Taifu Qi held Duke Zhou on the wall, anyone would misunderstand this appearance.

Qi Lu was pinched on the neck by Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou first smiled, then suddenly raised his eyebrows angrily, his face changed as soon as he said it, and said: "Why do you love the congratulatory gifts from the Tai Tuo the most, why don't I give them bad?"

When Qi Lv heard this, he felt that Duke Zhou recognized himself as Duke Guo. After all, except for Duke Guo, who avoided his father, no one else accepted the gift today.

Qi Lu said: "Duke Zhou, Lu is not Duke Guo. Let go first."

Hei Jian was so drunk that he couldn't tell anyone apart, and said in a daze: "Tell me, whose gift is the rarest?"

Qi Lu had a headache, at this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps, his neck was pinched, it was not easy to raise his head, but he saw two clothes hanging in front of his eyes, isn't that the emperor's black robe?The other one is the owner of Guogong's mansion, Jifu himself.

The Son of Heaven's face was so dark that he hurriedly separated Qi Lu from Duke Zhou. Duke Zhou held Qi Lu and did not let go. It's so worrisome, he put his arms around Qi Lu and didn't say anything, but muttered in his mouth: "Others give it well, but I don't give it well..."

His eyes were very aggrieved, and finally he simply lowered his head and bit Qi Lu's neck directly.

Qi Lu let out an "ah" and said, "It hurts..."

Ji Lin and Father Ji separated them with great difficulty. Qi Lu clutched his neck. Although he didn't see blood, it was really painful. He bit his teeth directly, and the mark was bright on his neck, as if ambiguous. Hickey in general.

Ji Lin saw the sour air rising to the sky, and Ji's father put his arms around the drunken black shoulders, seeing that the emperor's face was not very good-looking, he hurriedly said: "Son, Zhou Gong is drunk, Ji's father helped Zhou Gong go down to rest first, Ji Lin Father is sorry."

Zhou Gong didn't know that the atmosphere was dangerous at all, and he still stood up and refused to leave. Ji's father simply hugged Zhou Gong's black shoulders horizontally and carried him away.

For a moment, it was pitch black, only Qi Lu and Ji Lin were left. Qi Lu clutched his neck, and when he looked up, he found that the emperor was staring at him. Why does the emperor stare at me like he bit Duke Zhou?

Ji Lin was so sad, the mark on Qi Lu's neck was too ambiguous, as if he had done something private, and said with a dark face, "Why is the Tai Tuo running around when he's fine?"

Just as Qi Lu was about to speak, he said, "Lü..."

The emperor has already said: "Every time Taifu Yan drinks, something will happen. Haven't you learned your lesson?"

Qi Lu was about to speak again, and said, "Lü..."

The Son of Heaven snatched Bai Bai again and said: "It's good to know that you're wrong. In the future, Yan Yin will not leave the widow's side for half a step."

Qi Lu: "..." I haven't said anything yet!

After the emperor finished speaking, he took Qi Lu's hand, pulled him to his side, and said, "Come here, my widow, have a look and see if you have been bitten."

Qi Lv was very wronged, he was robbed twice, and he didn't speak anymore, and was pulled over by Ji Lin.

Under the moonlight, Ji Lin was tall and tall, and Mian's jade beads shook slightly, making a crisp "da da" knocking sound. His palm was a little warm, and he gently held Qi Lu's chin, making him raise his head slightly, and the The bite site is exposed.

Qi Lu's neck was smooth, with a smooth arc under the reflection of the moonlight. Ji Lin saw Qi Lu unreservedly raised that slender neck towards him, and suddenly had an urge to bite on it, making Taifu Qi's neck Make your mark...

Qi Lu raised his head and waited for a long time, but the emperor didn't speak. Qi Lu thought that his injury should not be serious, as if he didn't bleed.He glanced at the emperor's face for a while, and saw that the emperor's eyes were extremely gloomy, and Qi Lu could see from the eyes of the emperor that he was full of... appetite!

At that moment, Qi Lu felt that the emperor might regard his neck as a spicy duck neck, otherwise why would his eyes be so "hungry"?

Qi Lu hesitated and said, "Son of Heaven?"

Ji Lin was awakened by his voice, quickly regained consciousness, coughed, and said, "It's nothing serious, there's no blood, I'll take some medicine soon."

It was already late, Ji Lin planned to go back to the palace, but Qi Lu actually wanted to stay and spend the night at Duke Guo's mansion, Ji Lin couldn't rest assured that Qi Lu would stay, so he decided to stay too, and let his father, Duke Guo, clean up. houses.

As soon as Guo Gongji's father agreed, he heard the voice of "Reporting--". Huben Lang rushed Zhu Dan to the banquet and said, "My king, hurry up the document!"

It's a military newspaper, and it's an urgent military newspaper.

State Xu united with the Huaiyi people and launched a battle. Taking advantage of the war between State Zheng and State Song, Duke Song had just returned and had not yet rectified the country, so he sent troops to State Song.

Song Gong and Yi were very furious. Compared with Song State, if you say something rude, Xu State is a fart, and dare to start a war against Song State?Song Gong was furious, and immediately mobilized troops against Xu State. Logically speaking, although there were not many capable people and strange men in Song State, there was at least one ever-victorious general, Kong Fujia.

But unfortunately, Song Gong and Yi's trust in Kong Fujia has been weakened a lot. The officials of Song State thought that Song Gong would send Kong Fujia to the expedition, and it would be foolproof.But how did they know that on the one hand, Song Gong and Yi no longer trusted Kong Fujia, and on the other hand, because they were imprisoned by Zheng Guo, they wanted to save their face and planned to conquer Xu Guo in person to restore their prestige.

But the result was miserable. Xu Guo joined hands with Huai and Yi to occupy a geographical advantage, and with the cover of dense mountains and forests. Song Gong and Yi fought a few victories at first, then became arrogant and arrogant, eager for quick success, and finally fell into the The trap of Xu Guo and Huai Yi was directly captured, and there was an urgent report today.

The urgent report was sent to Master Luo, which shows how shocking this matter is, not to mention the shocking of the Song Dynasty, it is also a major event that shocked the princes.

In this urgent military report, three parties were mentioned. The first party was Song State, the second party was Xu State, and the third party was Huai Yi.Song Guo is already an old acquaintance of Qi Lu and the others. Although it is not an old nobleman with the surname Ji, Song Guo is a duke and a noble.

The other two forces are Xu Guo and Huai Yi.After Qi Lu became the Grand Tutor, because he often walks around the political affairs hall and has a lot of work to do, he still has some understanding of the current country, and he often "recites" maps with his hands, so when he heard Xu Guo and Huaiyi, in fact He is no stranger.

Xu Guo was not famous at all during the Spring and Autumn Period, but Xu Guo was once a big country, how big was it?Big enough to compete with Zhou Tianzi, dare to become king immediately, and proclaim himself the emperor.

In the early years of Xu State, there was a very benevolent monarch who proclaimed himself King Xu Yan. Because of benevolence and righteousness, King Xu Yan was good at governing the country, and the people loved him very much. Not only that, King Xu Yan fought in all directions, and 36 countries around Xu State The country surrendered and bowed down to Xu Guo as their suzerain state. They were prosperous for a while, and they began to challenge Zhou Tianzi.

During the period of King Xu Yan, when a monarch of a neighboring country passed away, King Xu Yan sent his own officials to attend the funeral. This doctor regarded himself as a special envoy of the emperor. Of course, he was not a special envoy of the emperor of Zhou, but King Xu Yan. This emperor's special envoy shows how rampant Xu Guo was at that time.

Later, King Xu Yan was defeated by the Zhou Dynasty and fled into the forest. However, due to the public opinion of the people, King Zhou still canonized the heirs of King Xu Yan in the land of Xu, which is now the state of Xu, and made the marquis of the state of Xu a viscount.

Xu Guo's heyday also gradually faded away. Today, although Xu Guo is still a big country in the Dongyi area, in the eyes of the Central Plains people, it seems that it is no longer popular, and there is no big threat.

This is Xu Guo, who united a group of Huaiyi people who were not disciplined by Zhou Tianzi, and directly took Song Gong and Yi away.

Zhu Dan sent the document, and when everyone heard it, they all whispered. Song Gong refused to obey the emperor's discipline, and recently led the four countries to besiege the east gate of Zheng Guo, and surrounded the emperor inside. Song Gong's ambition is evident.

Therefore, as soon as the urgent report was sent, the crowd immediately became excited. They didn't know how the emperor would decide whether to rescue the Song State, or to follow suit and send his godson son Feng back to the Song State to replace Song Gong and Yi.

The doctors all looked at the emperor, the young emperor squinted his eyes, standing in the dark night, his eyes were bottomless, fluctuating slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

It's just that the doctors are all wrong. Ji Lin wasn't thinking about the affairs of the Song Dynasty. Right now, there are more important things, and that is...

It's almost the time of Zi, and Ji Lin will soon become a little dog. If a court meeting is held immediately to discuss the Song State's affairs, then Ji Lin is likely to faint in full view, which is absolutely unacceptable.

So under the eyes of everyone urging, Ji Lin actually said in a very "unfathomable" way: "You don't need to panic, just pass on the edict of the widow, and tomorrow morning, the court will be governed and discussed."

tomorrow morning? !

Not to mention the doctors Qing, even Qi Lu was taken aback. On such an important matter, the emperor said that he would discuss it in the morning?

Everyone looked at the face of the emperor, the emperor was young, but steady and majestic, with a calm face, especially the eyes, which were unpredictable, no one could guess what the emperor was thinking at this moment.

Of course I can't guess it, because I'm afraid no one believes that the emperor will turn into an inconspicuous little dog at midnight!Even Qi Lu, who is an "old father", doesn't know that his dog son is the current emperor.

Ji Lin was so calm, and the doctors were very suspicious, but they didn't dare to say anything, they were all guessing and guessing the holy will, so amidst everyone's speculation, the emperor was very calm, very steady, and led Qi Lu very solemnly. He left Guo Gong's mansion and went back to Luoshi Palace.

Since there was going to be a court meeting early tomorrow morning, Ji Lin took Qi Lu back to the palace logically and did not let him stay at Guo Gong's mansion.

In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was just dawning, Qi Lu was forced to get up from the couch, and Yi Yangjian washed him and changed his clothes. Qi Lu then hurried to the main hall of ruling the court, preparing to attend the court meeting.

The main hall of the ruling dynasty was crowded with people, and it hadn't been this lively for a long time. The last time it was so lively was when the emperor ascended the throne.

All the senior officials gathered around the gate of the Zhichao Hall, whispering to each other and discussing with each other. As soon as Qi Lv walked over, many senior officials gathered around and said, "Teacher, you are the closest to the Son of Heaven. Do you know who the Son of Heaven is?" What's the meaning?"

"Yes, yes, Tai Tuo, what does the emperor mean? For such an important matter in the Song Dynasty, the emperor held a court meeting only the next day."

"I'm afraid the Son of Heaven has some preparations? What kind of preparations will the Taifu reveal to us?"

Qi Lu smiled very gently on his face, and said: "Masters, how can Lun be able to predict the divine will of the Son of Heaven? There will be a court meeting soon, so please come into the palace."

Qi Lu looked calm, but said in his heart, how do I know?

Everyone entered the main hall of governing the court, and the emperor quickly walked out, stepped out from the inner hall, and sat down firmly, everyone shouted "My king Wannian", and then sat down in his own seat.

Ji Lin unfolded his black sleeves and sat down on the emperor's seat. The twelve crowns of the Su Su were tapped slightly, and soon calmed down. Ji Lin's voice was calm and heavy, and he said, "Everyone must have heard If you have any opinion, just speak freely."

"Son of Heaven!" Immediately, a scholar-bureaucrat stood up and said, "Mr. Song was rude first. He clearly knew that the Son of Heaven was in the capital of Zheng State, but he led the four countries to besiege the old city of Zheng. His heart can be punished. Now Mr. Song is deeply involved in the conflict between Xu Yi and Huai Yi." The hand is also Song Gong's own fault, and he can't blame others!"

"Yes, yes, indeed."

"The state of Song is treacherous, and it is not worthy of the emperor's military assistance."

"Song Gongzi Feng is not in our Luoshi? Why don't you send your son Feng to the Song Dynasty and set up another Song Gong to make Xu Yi and Huai Yi's plot come to nothing!"

The situation in the DPRK was almost one-sided. Many people hated Song Guo's actions and did not advocate rescue Song Guo.Moreover, sending troops requires money. To put it bluntly, Song State is so far away from Luo Division, and Xu State is further east of Song State. Even if Xu State and Huaiyi attack Song State, they cannot enter Luo Division, so The senior officials were confident and felt that there was nothing serious about it. It just so happened that Young Master Feng was in Luoshi again, and he was also of the legitimate blood of the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't it be just right to send him to the Song Dynasty?

Qi Lu frowned slightly when he heard it, and didn't express his opinion for a while.

Ji Lin pondered for a while, then raised his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, everyone fell silent, and all looked at the young emperor.

Ji Lin said, "What does Taifu Qi think?"

Qi Lu was called by name, stood up, stepped out of the class, cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven, Lu thinks this is a troublesome matter."

trouble?

Everyone looked at Qi Lu suspiciously, how troublesome, as long as he packs the young master Feng and sends troops back to the Song Dynasty to take the throne, that's all.Much easier than fighting.

Young Master Feng is in the class. If it is a weekday court meeting, Young Master Feng does not have a designated official title. He is an idle person and does not need to participate in the court meeting. But today is the court meeting about the Song Dynasty, so Young Master Feng also came to participate in the court meeting. discuss.

Young Master Feng looked sideways at Qi Lu, squinted his eyes, thoughtful.

Ji Lin said lightly, "Oh? How troublesome?"

Qi Lu cupped his hands, speaking in a quiet voice, calm and orderly, and said: "Now Song Guo sent a letter asking for help, asking the emperor to send troops to help Song, and crusade against Xu Guo and Huaiyi. There are only two ways to deal with it. The first is to send troops, and the second is not to send troops.”

That's right, there are only two options.

Qi Lv also said: "If you don't send troops, it is indeed possible to send two hundred carriages of luggage, as you have said, and send your son Feng back to the country to inherit the throne of the Song Dynasty. Food and pay, don't know how to fight, it seems simple and cheap..."

Seemingly, what Qi Lu said seemed to be so, as expected, he had something to say, smiled slightly, changed the subject, and said, "But Lu thought that this seemingly cheap thing is actually very troublesome behind the scenes."

Doctors Qing whispered, thinking that Qi Lu was alarmist and wanted to make a difference. After all, almost [-]% of the doctors were in favor of sending Young Master Feng back to the country, and only Qi Lu stood up to "sing the opposite", not because he wanted to attract the emperor attention?

Qi Lu doesn't care about other people's eyes, because caring about others' eyes is too tiring, and it is also a troublesome thing.

Qi Lu cupped his hands and continued: "Please think about it with the emperor and the officials. Xu Guo and Huaiyi joined forces to invade the Song State. The people of the Song State are the emperor's people. , just to send son Feng back to the country to ascend the throne, in the hearts of the people, I am afraid that the emperor is afraid of Xu Guo and Huaiyi."

As soon as his words fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, which is indeed the reason.

Qi Lu also said: "Furthermore, Huai Yi and Xu Guo were about to make a move, and suddenly attacked Song Guo, who was far away from Luo Shi. From Lu's point of view, this is likely to be a temptation. The purpose of the Yi people should not be just a The state of Song marched towards our Central Plains. If the emperor could not severely attack the barbarians at the beginning of his ascension, it might encourage the arrogance of the barbarians, causing Beidi, Xirong, Dongyi, and Nanman to follow suit. At that time, all directions will cause chaos , it is not a matter that can be solved simply by sending the young master to the throne... Therefore, Lu believes that sending the young master Feng back to the country is indeed simple, cheap and convenient, but he is afraid of causing endless troubles."

After Qi Lu finished speaking, he bowed his hands and returned to his seat calmly, while the rest of the people began to discuss in low voices again.

Just now, many people thought that Qi Lu was trying to make a difference and attract the attention of the emperor, but after listening to Qi Lu's words now, they really feel very reasonable.

Ji Lin also thought the same way. Although they had a good move by Young Master Feng, the good move had to be left behind to win by surprise. If they used all the tricks at the beginning, it would not work later.

It's not yet the time to send son Feng to the Song Dynasty, but Ji Lin coincides with Qi Lu's thoughts.

After Qi Lv finished speaking, Guo Gongji's father immediately cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven, what Qi Taifu said is true, we must not let foreigners despise my majesty, and Ji's father agrees!"

Guo Gongji's father stood up and seconded, and soon many people supported Qi Lv's idea, advocating sending troops to fight back, so that Xu Guo and Huaiyi could experience the majesty of Luo Shi.

Young Master Feng squinted his eyes, stood up, and seemed to have his own thoughts.As soon as he stood up, many people thought that he might have to refute Qi Lu's proposal. After all, he had a good chance to enter the Song Dynasty, a good chance to ascend the throne of the Song Dynasty, but was ruined by Qi Lu with a few words. Can you be willing?

Of course...

Young Master Feng cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven, Feng is second."

The officials of Qing were in an uproar for a while. Unexpectedly, the son Feng, who had a deadly enmity with Duke Song and Yi, advocated crusade against Xu State and Huaiyi, and rescued Duke Song?

Young Master Feng has something to say later, saying: "In the country, you are fighting against each other. It is really a family scandal that cannot be exposed. Now that the people of Huaiyi have united with our state of Da Zhou, Xu State, it is really a heinous crime. Feng is willing to go out to conquer the barbarians, and I ask the emperor to agree. !"

Young Master Feng actually came to ask for a fight!

Ji Lin didn't speak immediately, but was silent for a while, and then said: "Now Huaiyi and Xu Guo despise the majesty of my Great Zhou, which is indignant. The widow is worthy of ascending the throne, and many things have to be relied on by you sitting love ministers." Maybe many people think that the widow is too young to hold the first class, and his face is too thin to tear apart his face, so he will take my master Luo and my great Zhou's majesty even more seriously, okay, Very nice..."

Ji Lin smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out his sleeves and stood up. When he stood up, the senior officials who were sitting did not dare to sit down.

Standing on the rocky platform of the main hall, Ji Lin slightly lowered his head and looked down at the worshiping ministers, and said in a low voice, "Today is just taking advantage of the fact that the barbarians are disrupting the Song Dynasty, and I am going to... conquer the barbarians myself."

"Prosecution?"

"The Son of Heaven wants to conquer..."

As soon as Ji Lin's words fell, Chaozhong fell into the commotion again, as if dumplings were being boiled in boiling water, and it was hard to hide the boiling for a while.

In fact, it is very common for princes and emperors to conquest in person these days, but Ji Lin is worthy of ascending the throne. This is Ji Lin's first official conquest, and it is for the Song Kingdom, which was rude first, so the scholar-bureaucrats inevitably made some noise.

Ji Lin decided to conscript himself, first to attack the arrogance of the barbarians, and second, to prove his ability.

Many people think that the three fires of the emperor's superior position are all burned on his own people, even if the methods are vigorous and resolute, what can they do.

Ji Lin just wanted to prove to these people that his ability was not only capable of suppressing tyrants, but also fighting barbarians!

The team for the personal conquest was quickly determined. Guo Gongji's father, as a nobleman, needed to sit in Luoshi. The candidates who followed the emperor's personal conquest included two generals, Zhu Dan and Shi Hou, and Song Gongzi Feng. Of course, Qi Lv This master must also accompany him.

Because the war is imminent, Song Gong and Yi have been taken away, so there is no time to prepare too much, and the emperor's personal conquest team will set off soon.

The emperor's team was mighty and mighty, and the army marched out. The Luo division was a little far away from Xu's battle line and had to cross many countries. Therefore, in this battle, Xue State, which was between Xu State and Song State, was used as a turning point and supply point for luggage.

Xue Guo is also a small country conferred by the Son of Zhou. Marquis, Ren surnamed, lives between Qi, Lu, Song, Xu and other countries. Therefore, the country has not been destroyed for a long time.

The first stop of the emperor's personal conquest was Xue Guo.The monarch of Xue State was old, and when he heard that the emperor was going to stay in his country, he immediately made preparations. He wished he could repaint the palace of Xue State, and even went to Bianyi to welcome the emperor himself.

The emperor's team marched into Xue Guozhong, Xue Guoguo took several sons and scholar-bureaucrats to greet him.

Ji Lin raised the curtain of the luggage cart and looked out, and said, "Mr. Xue is old, so there is no need to be polite."

The surname of Ren, the monarch of Xue State, is Xue, and the single name is Shang. Xue Houshang stood up tremblingly, and said, "Thank you for your love."

Then he introduced his two sons. Xue Guo's eldest son is the prince, and the current system is to establish the eldest son, so it is legitimate for the eldest son to be the prince, and there is another second son.

Xue Houshang is very old, with gray hair, the prince is also middle-aged, and this second son is a young man, not only young, but also quite handsome.

Before Qi Lu came to Xue Guo, he heard that there was a man in Xue Guo who was as beautiful as his grandson. This man was the second son of Xue Guo, named Xue Wei.

Xue Wei was in his early twenties, young and straight, with a tall stature. It could be seen that he had been practicing martial arts all year round. Under the robes of a gentleman, he was a standard type who looked thin and undressed. It could be said that he had the same figure as Ji Lin.

It's just that the second son of Xue Guo doesn't have the same appearance as the emperor.Ji Lin's appearance is upright and handsome. It can be said that his appearance is the kind of handsomeness that is widely accepted. There is no flaw in it, and it is unbelievably perfect.

And this Xue Wei's elder
