spring and autumn officials

In the dead of night, the Luoshi city gate was brightly lit, and the flames shot up into the sky for a moment, as bright as day.

Li Ziyi stood in the center, and the soldiers quickly surrounded them like iron barrels.

"Lu Guo's secret work?" Li Ziyi looked at Qi Lu who came out, her eyes moved slightly, and she quickly regained her composure, with a calm expression on her face, she smiled and said, "Teacher Qi, what are you talking about, Mrs. Yi can't understand, Ziyi is from Li country, how could she become Lu country's spy?"

Qi Lu came over calmly and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, you are talking about you, you are Lu Guoxie."

Li Ziyi smiled and said: "Teacher Qi, Ziyi really doesn't understand what you said. Ziyi is the young son of Li Guo. Yin Zida can testify that he also helped the emperor and Taifu Qi crack the case a few days ago. If Ziyi is really a secret agent of Lu State, how could he arrest his own people? Doesn’t it make sense?”

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then Lu dare to ask Mr. Li Guo, it's the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, you stole Da Sima's talisman, where are you going?"

Li Ziyi's complexion was slightly stiff, and she just pretended to be stupid, and said, "This... the talisman of the great Sima? Ziyi didn't know that this talisman...was picked up by Ziyi on the road, and it wasn't just someone else. It fell to the ground and was trying to return it to its original owner.”

Qi Lu ignored his clumsy excuses, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He was born gentle and handsome, and the way he paced slowly, he seemed to be an expert outside the world, very unfathomable and unattainable .

Qi Lu was not in a hurry, and said politely: "If you dare to ask Mr. Li, if you are Mr. Li, why should you tell you that after the Li Guo mission is about to enter Luoshi, you will have to hurry that night. You secretly left Master Luo. Mr. Li Guo, if you have no ghosts in your heart, why run away?"

Every time he said a word, Li Ziyi's face darkened. At this time, it was already "heavy" with a layer of gloom, which was completely inconsistent with his usual temperament like a little white rabbit. His eyes, like sharp knives, were fixed on Qi Lu.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Qi Lu raised his hand and brushed off his robe, and said, "Young Master Li, let's call you like this for now, after all, although Lu knows that you are from the Lu family, he doesn't know what your name is. .”

When Qi Lu said this, Li Ziyi didn't refute again, as if he knew that his excuse was poor, Qi Lu had already caught him on the spot, and it was useless to refute.

Compared with Li Ziyi's gloomy and oppressive expression, Qi Lu's expression is very bright, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Li, there is one thing that Lu wants to confess to you. In fact...there is no envoy from Li Guo who wants to come to Luoshi. General Dan did go to support the Li country, but it has not been completely successful, and naturally, the Li country has no envoys to come to Luoshi."

"You..." Li Ziyi said in a low voice, "So you lied to me."

Qi Lu nodded, and said sincerely: "You are right, I lied to you."

Qi Lu was so frank, Li Ziyi not only didn't like it at all, but his eyes became more gloomy, as if tinged with killing intent, he stared at Qi Lu suspiciously.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Lü just put a straight hook, but I didn't expect such a fat fish to take the bait by itself. It really fulfilled that sentence—the one who wishes to take the bait."

Li Ziyi's face became more gloomy, and Qi Lu suddenly became a person who can't read his face, and continued: "Actually, when talking about why Lu believes that you, Mr. Li, are working for Lu Guo, we have to start with Zhou Gong."

That day Zhou Gong Hei Jian and Guo Gong Ji's father suddenly came to Lu's bedroom and interrupted the emperor's good work. They said that there was something important to report, and it was Lu Guo's careful work.

Because it was too easy for those Luguo dead men to confess, Heijian felt that there was something tricky in it, so he went to interrogate him himself, and as expected, the result of the interrogation surprised Heijian secretly.

It turns out that among the Luo teachers, there are actually Lu Guo secret agents. These dead men mixed into the Luo teacher, firstly to show the emperor's power, and secondly, they came here for the Lu country secret workers.

The soldiers of Lu State came to arrest this Lu State spy.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Young Master Li, did you get dizzy too? Yes, Lu was also very dizzy at the beginning. I didn't know what was going on, but then I understood."

If Li Ziyi is a secret agent of the Lu Kingdom, then the most unreasonable point is, why would he betray the dead soldiers of the Lu Kingdom?It was Li Ziyi who came up with the idea of ​​using marriage to lure out the dead men from Lu country. As people of the same country, why did they fight each other?Is there any benefit?

Qi Lv couldn't figure this out until those Lu Guo dead men confessed. The reason is very simple, because the Lu Guo dead men and that Xi Zuo are not from the same faction.

Just like the royal family has the Yin family and the Wu family, the Zheng State has the public family and the Qing family, and the Song State has the son party and the Yi party. Although this Lu country is located in the northern country and is a member of Chidi, they also have their own. Partisanship.

Qi Lv said with a smile: "Lv made some inquiries and heard that the Lu Clan is divided into two factions, one of which is headed by the Prince, and the other is headed by the Young Master."

The internal strife within the Lu Kingdom is not small. The crown prince is the legitimate heir of the country. If the monarch passes away, needless to say, the crown prince must be the most legitimate successor.But some "accidents" happened in Lu country.

Lu State is the Red Di people in the north, and it is also the most powerful country among the Red Di. The foreigners also took Zhou people's culture as their fashion. If they wanted to develop, they learned Zhou people's culture and learned a set of decent etiquette.

Therefore, after the death of the Lu State Lord, the son rebelled and robbed the crown prince of his position as the monarch. The current Lu State Lord is the old Lu State Lord.But don't get me wrong, this Lu Guogongzi is not the prince's brother, but the prince's uncle, because he is also the son of the monarch, so uncles can also be called sons.

The prince's uncle rebelled and robbed the crown prince of Lu country from his throne. The prince of Lu country fled overnight and left Lu country without knowing where he was going.After this uncle ascended the throne, he was very belligerent. He broke the peaceful relationship between the Lu Kingdom and the Great Zhou, started attacking the nearest Li Kingdom, and continued to harass the Jin Kingdom.

The state of Jin was afraid of trouble, so it reached an agreement with the state of Lu to invade the state of Li together, resulting in the current situation.

Qi Lu smiled faintly, fixed his gaze on Li Ziyi, and said, "Am I right, Prince Lu?"

Li Ziyi squinted her eyes, but still didn't speak, and Qi Lu didn't dislike singing a one-man show by herself, and said: "Although the prince of Lu State lost his position as the monarch, he is not reconciled. And the current ruler of the Lu Kingdom is also afraid that the prince will come back and rob him of the throne, so he sent many dead soldiers to chase and kill the prince."

Qi Lv seemed to be telling a story, and he looked decent, and said vividly: "Ah, this prince of the Lu Kingdom is too smart, and he has learned some of our Zhou people's culture since he was a child, and he speaks a fluent Zhou language. After he escaped from Lu State, he pretended to be a man from Zhou, but no one found out. Do you think he is powerful? It happened that at this time, Li State was invaded by Lu State, and the ice-snow and clever Prince Lu State came up with a trick This is a good way to disguise yourself as the lovely and pitiful young master of Li Guo, sneak into Luo Shi all the way, and even defect to Yin Zi who has a relationship with Li Guo..."

Yin Zi's family has some in-law relationship with Li Guo, but Luo Shi is so far away from Li Guo, what Li Guo's son looks like, to be honest, Yin Zi doesn't know.

Qi Lv clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Either the prince of Lu State is extremely intelligent, and he dares others to dare. As a Chidi, he actually infiltrated the royal family of Luo Shi and pretended to be the prince of Li State to ask Yin Zi for help. Lü Guai After a guess, the prince of Lu country must be thinking, if the emperor sends his troops to crusade against Lu country, he can use the hand of the emperor to easily check and balance Lu country. Wouldn't it be easy to snatch back one's position as a monarch?"

Li Ziyi's palm hidden in the sleeve robe moved slightly, only to see a flash of silver light, obviously, there was a dagger hidden in his sleeve robe.

Qi Lu seemed to have noticed Li Ziyi's small gestures, and said, "Prince Lu, you don't need to be angry if you are right? Let's have a good talk, why bother to use swords and guns?"

Qi Lv also said: "At the wedding banquet, you killed the leader of the dead soldiers. The situation was very chaotic at that time. Maybe no one noticed. You kept covering your face with your sleeve robe. Many people probably thought you were afraid of being killed. People could see that it was a man, so they used the sleeves to cover their faces, but now that you think about it carefully, you are not afraid of being found out as a man, but because you are afraid of being recognized by the leader of the dead soldiers?"

When the leader of the dead soldiers saw Li Ziyi, he said, "You are..." Before he finished speaking, Li Ziyi's dagger stabbed him in the neck, directly stabbing a bloody hole. The action was so fierce. Now that I think about it, those dead Among the scholars, only the leader knew the prince of Lu, so Li Ziyi was eager to kill him.

"Everything is perfect," Qi Lv said, "If even Lu Qiang refuses to obey, I will obey you. While pretending to be a little white rabbit to seek the protection of Master Luo, at the same time begging the emperor to send troops to conquer Lu Kingdom. If you are defeated, you can swagger back to Lu State, and justifiably crusade against the rebellious monarch. Come to Lu State and lose face, and secondly, you are a prince, and your name is justifiable. Adding these two points together, you don’t need any soldiers. Then you can take down Lu State and ascend to the throne of Lu State Monarch, right? Prince Lu State."

Li Ziyi squinted her eyes, suddenly relieved, the haze on her face disappeared, she smiled instead, and said, "Yes, you are right."

Qi Lu let out an "oh" and said, "Are you admitting it?"

Li Ziyi nodded, and said calmly: "You are right. I am from Lu State, and I am also the prince of Lu State. My name is not Li Ziyi, but Lu Ziyi."

Lu Ziyi smiled slightly, and said: "Teacher Qi has been praising Ziyi for being smart, but Ziyi thinks that Taifu Qi is very intelligent. Ziyi asked herself that she did not hide anything wrong. Isn't the Taifu seeing through?"

Qi Lu arched his hands and said, "You're welcome, hey, it's not worth mentioning."

Lu Ziyi twitched, he just said it casually, but Qi Lu agreed so shamelessly, as if he was really praising him.

Lu Ziyi changed the subject and said, "But Taifu Qi did the most unintelligent thing."

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lu Ziyi glanced at the soldiers around him, smiled very leisurely, and said, "If Taifu Qi wants to catch Ziyi, he shouldn't use these small shrimps. Do you think such a person can make Ziyi go?" Is Yi just captured?"

Qi Lu waved his hand and said: "Please trouble Prince Lu to think about Lu. Lu is the person who is most afraid of death. He hasn't eaten enough delicious food, seen enough beauty, and hasn't bought enough peppercorns, so he thinks carefully about everything. Some, questions that Prince Lu has thought of, how could Lu not think of it? Although Prince Lu was born so beautiful and bright, he still looks like a little bird and a person on weekdays, like a standard little white rabbit, but Lu is You can see clearly that Prince Lu stabbed the leader of the dead soldiers with a sword at the wedding banquet, but Lu didn't dare to use his life for a joke..."

When he said this, he raised his hands, stretched out his sleeves, and let out a "wow!" Although Qi Lu is not tall, he looks like a literati who can't carry his shoulders or hands, but now he is tall and straight, As soon as he stretched out his sleeves, he unexpectedly gave birth to a crisp and agile temperament.

Qi Lu raised his finger and said, "Prince Lu, you have misunderstood, where is your opponent?"

Although soldiers surrounded Lu Ziyi, these people were probably not Lu Ziyi's opponents, and Lu Ziyi's real opponents were in front.

Lu Ziyi looked up, and suddenly there was a slit across her face that was capable of doing things with ease, and she met a pair of half-squinted tiger eyes.

——Royal Grand Sima, Wu Man!

Wu Man was dressed in black armor, standing with a sword in hand, and walked over from a distance, with Huben soldiers behind him. The well-trained Huben army dispersed instantly, and surrounded Lu Ziyi three layers in and three layers out.

"Shua!" Wuman pointed with his long sword, the corners of his lips were still slightly red and swollen, and there was a hickey on his chin, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword, showing his sharp edge, staring at Lu Ziyi, and the point of the sword pointed directly He said: "Lu Guo works carefully, and he will be captured quickly, otherwise don't blame this general for his ruthlessness."

When Lu Ziyi saw Wu Man, he was slightly taken aback, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he thought of what the gatekeeper said just now, that Da Sima's talisman was lost, and whoever holds this talisman is a matter of careful attention , couldn't help chuckling, I didn't realize that I had a perfect plan, a hundred secrets and a few secrets, and I was finally calculated, not only by Qi Taifu, but also by Wu Man.

Lu Ziyi pretended to be Yin's Fourth Miss, and he knew Wu Man at the first sight that Wu Man was absolutely fascinated by his appearance.Lu Ziyi was born handsome and charming, coupled with his slender figure and flirtatious figure, so many people would mistakenly think that Lu Ziyi had no threat and was just a simple little white rabbit.

Li Ziyi knew that Wu Man must have misunderstood her when she saw her. All along, Lu Ziyi thought that she was the one who played Wu Man in his hands. Man was so sober that he would eventually be tricked by Wu Man.

Wu Man stared at Lu Ziyi, turned his wrist, and turned his sword edge. Following his movements, Lu Ziyi was forced to raise his head and raise his chin slightly to avoid being hurt by the sword edge.

Wu Man repeated in a cold voice: "Catch him without a fight."

Lu Ziyi seemed to be thinking about something, Qi Lu said with a smile: "Prince Lu, are you still planning to resist? Lu advises you not to resist, anyway, you can't escape, you should just obediently fight and capture."

Lu Ziyi squinted her eyes, didn't say a word, only heard "Pa!", the sleeve robe moved slightly, and the dagger hidden in the sleeve fell to the ground instantly, Lu Ziyi slowly raised her hand, revealing herself Both hands, indicating that he has no other weapons.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "This is good, take it away."

Wu Man immediately stepped forward and personally tied Lu Ziyi with a rope. Lu Ziyi didn't resist, as if he didn't know martial arts, Wu Man roughly tied the rope and put on the shackles, and said with a smile: "Dear Sima, Take it easy, you hurt Ziyi."

Hearing Lu Ziyi's words, Wu Man's eyelids twitched, and his head jumped up immediately. Lu Ziyi's words were so ambiguous, as if Wu Man had done something to him, but he clearly did. What is Lu Ziyi, Wu Man still feels sore in his body, and he is enduring the pain.

Qi Lu asked Wu Man to take Lu Ziyi into prison, and then he went back to the palace, ready to report to the emperor.Because it was midnight when Lu Ziyi escaped, and Ji Lin had changed from emperor to little dog at this time, how could he and Qi Lu go to catch Lu Guoxizuo together?So Ji Lin let Qi Lu go alone, and stayed in the palace by himself.

Sure enough, at midnight, Ji Lin turned into a little dog. Qi Lu didn't know that the emperor had "transformed". After capturing Lu Ziyi, he went to the palace specially to report back to the emperor.

When Qi Lv came to the gate of Lu's bedroom, he was stopped by the eunuch, who said, "Teacher, the emperor has already rested."

When Qi Lv heard this, he was very surprised, before Lu Ziyi was caught, the emperor actually took a rest?

Ji Lin knew that Qi Lv would find it strange, so he specifically told the eunuch that he was not feeling well, so he had already rested.

The eunuch said: "The emperor is not feeling well, so he has already taken a rest. The emperor specially told the ministers that if the Taifu comes, he will ask the Taifu to go to rest earlier."

The emperor is not feeling well?The Son of Heaven is usually as strong as a cow, and rarely feels uncomfortable, but these days are getting colder every day, and Qi Lu thinks that the Son of Heaven may be suffering from a cold.

Qi Lu didn't see the Son of Heaven, so he rested in the palace. After waking up the next day, he planned to visit the Son of Heaven again and report about Lu Ziyi by the way.

On the second day, Qi Lv came to Lu's bedroom again, this time he was not stopped by the eunuch, and entered the Lu's bedroom very smoothly.Ji Lin has turned from a little dog back into an emperor, and when he saw Qi Lu, he smiled and said, "The Grand Tutor must have come to announce the good news."

Qi Lv cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Son of Heaven, you have caught Lu Guoxi Zuo, it really is a big fish, and now Prince Lu has been imprisoned in prison."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

Qi Lu recalled what the eunuch said yesterday that the emperor was not feeling well, so he said: "The emperor is sick, rested for a night, did you ever feel better?"

Ji Lin was taken aback, are you sick?What's wrong?

Then I remembered, yes, I turned into a little dog last night, so I asked the eunuch to prevaricate the Taifu, and said that I was sick, I didn't expect Qi Lu to care about me so much, and I still remember this matter.

Ji Lin is not a person who is very good at lying. When he was the prince, because he was too simple and upright, he was once "disgusted" by Zhou Gong's black shoulders. He felt that Ji Lin was not the best candidate for the emperor. He wanted to support Ji Lin. Lin's uncle, Wang Zihu, is in charge.

But now that Ji Lin has become the emperor, he has indeed changed a lot and learned a lot of intrigue, but to be honest, Ji Lin still doesn't lie to Qi Lu very much.

Ji Lin's eyes drifted up, and he said, "That's right... yes, it's nothing wrong with being ill, it's just that... I feel the wind and cold occasionally, and it's already..."

Ji Lin stumbled and stumbled, Qi Lu was a little suspicious, stared at Ji Lin carefully, and said, "Is there something that the Son of Heaven is hiding from Lu?"

Ji Lin was shocked, and immediately denied it, saying: "There is absolutely no such thing." He added in his heart, except for the fact that the widow would turn into a little dog from time to time, there is nothing to hide from Taifu Qi.

"Really?" Qi Lu became even more suspicious.

Ji Lin immediately said, "Of course not." As he spoke, his eyes were still wandering.

Qi Lv walked over and held the Son of Heaven's cheeks with both hands, forcing the Son of Heaven to look at him. The two of them looked at each other, and Ji Lin felt even more guilty, for fear that Taifu Qi would find out that he was the little dog he raised. .

The Son of Heaven and Qi Lu haven't dated for too long, Ji Lin always wants to show his best side to Taifu Qi, after all, he has shown a lot of childish sides in the past, so naturally he doesn't want Qi Lu to know that he is that dog Son, how embarrassing is this?

The two looked at each other, Ji Lin was so guilty that he squinted his eyes, suddenly put his arms around Qi Lu's waist, and kissed him fiercely. Qi Lu was completely unprepared, and was instantly pressed on the table by the emperor, "Wow—— —" With a sound, the documents on the table fell to the ground, making a mess.

Qi Lv originally wanted to ask the emperor, but he always felt that the emperor did something behind his back, his expression seemed to be raising a man behind his back, but before he could ask, his head was short of oxygen from being kissed instantly, his head went blank, and he couldn't think of anything Out.

The emperor cleverly discovered that the Taifu loves his own beauty, as long as he betrays a little bit of beauty, Qi Taifu will be dizzy, completely confused, and forget everything back.

Sure enough, Qi Lu was out of breath, and tightly grasped the emperor's black skirt, as if grasping a life-saving straw, his eyes were blurred and covered with a layer of mist, completely different from his usual shrewd appearance, and there was a little Little confused, as if easy to bully.

Ji Lin chuckled, successfully changed the subject, and said, "Teacher, please go with me to the prison to meet Prince Lu?"

Qi Lu was in a daze, and soon followed the emperor into the carriage, ready to go to the prison. When he got on the carriage, Qi Lu was still thinking, did he seem to have forgotten something?

The two of them got into the luggage cart and came to the jail. When the jailer saw that it was the emperor and the grand master, he hurriedly saluted respectfully and led everyone to go in together.Prince Lu's shackles are special shackles, separated by a gate, but at this moment, the gate is open.

Ji Lin glanced at the big lock and said, "Who got in?"

The jailer replied: "Go back to the emperor, it was Da Sima who entered, not long ago."

It turned out that Wuman had been here.

Ji Lin nodded, and everyone walked in. As soon as they walked in, they heard Lu Ziyi's chuckle before they saw Lu Ziyi. Like a prisoner.

Lu Ziyi's voice said with a smile: "Da Sima, don't you have a saying in China that a husband and wife will be gracious for a hundred days, and Ziyi and Da Sima are also the ones who almost drank the wine. Having been married twice, can Da Sima have the heart to be so ruthless? Why don't you let Ziyi go."

Lu Ziyi's voice was very gentle, with a little smile, and coughed lightly from time to time, as if she was overwhelmed.

And his person, weaker than his voice, usually looks like a little white rabbit, but now wearing shackles and chains around his body, he is even more pitiful and weak.

Lu Ziyi begged Da Sima through the cell fence, Wu Man was standing outside the cell door, he was still wearing a black armor, with his right hand resting on the sword at his waist, squinting at Lu Ziyi.

Da Sima hadn't answered yet, but Ji Lin said with a smile: "Da Sima won't let you go, after all...the only people Da Sima is loyal to are widows."

As Ji Lin said, he walked in slowly with his hands behind his back. He was tall and dressed in a black robe, appearing in the incompatible prison, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

When Wu Man saw Ji Lin, he immediately saluted and said, "Man pays homage to the Son of Heaven."

When Lu Ziyi saw Ji Lin and Qi Lu coming, she didn't react too much and turned a blind eye. She just chuckled and didn't salute.

Wu Man scolded and said: "Boldly and meticulously, why don't you be polite when you see the emperor?"

Lu Ziyi smiled faintly and said, "I am surprised by what Da Sima said. Ziyi is a member of the Lu family. You call him a member of the Chidi family. We are clearly not from the same way. Why should I salute the emperor of your Zhou people?" ?”

As Lu Ziyi was speaking, he changed the subject and said, "However... if Da Sima wants Ziyi to salute your emperor, it's not impossible."

Wu Man stared at Lu Ziyi with squinted eyes, as if he felt that Lu Ziyi was talking sweetly.

Lu Ziyi no longer looked at Wuman, but turned to Ji Lin, changed her gentle and weak appearance just now, squinted her eyes and said: "As long as the emperor is willing to let me go, when I return to Lu country, Lu country and the emperor will definitely let Lu country and the emperor repair each other for a hundred years." Good, no more battles, how about it?"

Ji Lin chuckled, and said, "Prince Lu, your uncle is in charge of the Lu country now, and the Lu country is under his control. What can you do to make peace with the widow? Are you empty talk?"

Lu Ziyi's face changed slightly, and she said patiently: "If the Son of Heaven is willing to send me back to China to take the throne, wouldn't it be fine?"

Ji Lin said: "Prince Lu will take over all good things, and I will send troops to send you back to help you overthrow the monarch of Lu State. If it takes so much trouble, why not write a book and send it to Lu State?" Monarch, tell him that I want to make a truce with Lu."

Li Ziyi chuckled and said: "The Son of Heaven doesn't know something. Now the ruler of the Lu Kingdom is my uncle. No one knows this person better than Ziyi. This person is yin and yang, and he can promise today, and he can tear it up tomorrow." Letter of alliance, let alone a truce."

Li Ziyi said again: "But Ziyi is different. Ziyi means what he says. If the emperor helps me, he will be kind to me. How can I harm the emperor?"

Wu Man squinted his eyes and said, "Tianzi, this Lu Ziyi is so smooth-tongued, his words cannot be trusted!"

Lu Ziyi didn't expect Wu Man to come out temporarily to disrupt the stage. He smiled faintly and said, "Zi Yi speaks from the bottom of his heart. How does Da Sima know that Zi Yi is slick? Yes, Da Sima was still hugging Zi Yi yesterday, lingeringly tight, tsk tsk, zi." Yi's lips and tongue are still tingling, because they were all bitten by Da Sima."

Wu Man immediately blushed and said, "You..."

However, Wu Man has been talking to you for a long time, and really dare not say a word, for fear that Lu Ziyi will be a bastard and reveal all the intimate things between them yesterday, which would be embarrassing.

Qi Lv looked at the expression of discovering the new continent, glanced at Lu Ziyi's lips, and then at Wu Man's lips, they were really red and swollen, and his eyes became more gossiping and full of interest.

Ji Lin coughed, and returned to the subject, saying: "I can't believe what you Chidi people say. If I send troops to help you and send you back to the country to take the throne, but you bite me back, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Lu Ziyi suppressed her smile and said, "The Son of Heaven doesn't have to worry. If you want to send Ziyi to the throne, maybe you don't need to send soldiers? All you need is a meeting."

"Assembly?" Ji Lin repeated with squinted eyes.

Lu Ziyi nodded, and said, "It's the alliance. Today, the emperor has sent a great person to question Jin. Without Jin's support, General Zhu Dan will definitely crack our Lu army..."

The monarch of Lu State had just ascended the throne, and he usurped the throne to come to power, so he was eager to prove himself, so he was ready to attack Li State, and the persimmons were soft, but he didn't realize it, the emperor began to intervene in Li State's affairs, and sent General Zhu Dan to help Li Guo fought.

In the final analysis, the king of the Lu Kingdom is worthy of taking the throne, his people are unstable, and he has not yet mastered the entire government of the Lu Kingdom, so he must not confront Zhu Dan head-on.

Lu Ziyi said: "Ziyi is well aware of the nature of this rebel. He is a bully and fears the hard. The emperor will take advantage of the victory to form an alliance and ask Lu Guo for an alliance. The rebel is timid and fearful, and he will definitely plan to use it. This battle will be resolved by means of compensation from the League, when the time comes..."

Lu Ziyi smiled faintly. He didn't look like a little white rabbit. It was clearly a big wild wolf. He sneered and said, "At that time, as long as that thief enters the camp of the League, the emperor will catch him and chop him up like a knife. Turned into meat, now I am the only one in Lu country who can inherit the position of monarch. No one dares to fight for it. After returning to the country, I will formally submit to the emperor. Da Bing, you can subdue my country of Lu with only one alliance, so why not do it? Ziyi's power is for the sake of the emperor."

Ji Lin listened with half-closed eyes, and did not speak from the beginning to the end. This is indeed a very delicious piece of meat. If it can subdue Lu Guo, it will also be a deterrent to Di Ren.

Today's emperor has pacified Huaiyi, if he can do something in the north, not only the princes of the world, even those barbarians will be in awe of the young emperor.

only……

Ji Lin still thought about it. After all, Lu Ziyi hid it very deeply and had always been very scheming. Ji Lin couldn't agree to it outright, and still had to add up.

Ji Lin didn't say a word, ignored Lu Ziyi, turned around and said, "Teacher, let's go."

So the emperor and Taifu Qi left the prison, Lu Ziyi stood in the prison cell with chains all over, not in a hurry, but looked at the back of the emperor leaving with a smile.

Wu Man waited for the emperor and Qi Taifu to leave, and he wanted to leave too. As soon as he stepped out, Lu Ziyi leaned against the cell door and said with a smile: "Da Sima, your emperor has already been moved by Ziyi's plan." , presumably in a few days, we are likely to be officials in the same dynasty."

Wu Man glanced back at Lu Ziyi, didn't say much, and hurriedly walked away.

Ji Lin and Qi Lu boarded the luggage cart, Ji Lin pondered for a while and kept silent, Qi Lu understood it very well and said, "I'm afraid the Son of Heaven is very moved by Prince Lu's proposal?"

Ji Lin nodded calmly, and said, "If Lu State can really be subdued, it will be a good thing for me, Da Zhou, to deter those Chidi people who look up to Lu State."

"It's just..." Ji Lin said hesitantly, "There's one problem. You've seen Lu Ziyi too. He's cunning and scheming. I'm afraid he's just pretending to surrender. Maybe he'll do something tricky during this alliance. "

Qi Lu's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "Lu Ziyi is indeed very cunning. Such a cunning person should be treated in a cunning way. In this matter, Lu has a good way to share the worries of the emperor."

Ji Lin immediately said: "Really? The Taifu has many methods."

Qi Lu leaned closer with a smile, and suddenly stood up, kissed Ji Lin's brow lightly, and said with a "glib" smile: "Don't worry, the emperor, Lu can't bear to see such a beautiful emperor frowning." brow."

After Ji Lin returned to the Luoshi Palace, he immediately recruited Duke Zhou and Duke Guo, asked their opinions, and both of them agreed to form an alliance. After all, Lu Kingdom can be surrendered without using large soldiers. This is indeed a good idea.

On the one hand, it can quell the war between the Zhou people and the Lu state, and on the other hand, it can also promote the majesty of the emperor. Such a powerful Lu state must submit to the emperor, and the surrounding small countries must respond and submit to the emperor one after another.

Ji Lin said: "Since the second lord also agrees, then Guo gong."

Guogong Jifu said: "Jifu is here."

Ji Lin then said: "I also ask Lord Guo to hurry up and send the letter of the alliance to the front line of Lu State."

"Yes, Son of Heaven!"

Due to time constraints, after Guo Gongji's father took the order, he set off immediately after the documents of the alliance were drawn up, and went to Lu state to invite Lu state to join the alliance.

Zhu Dan is on the front line to crusade against Lu country, and the fight is almost done. The people of Lu country are not united.

At this time, Guo Gongji's father sent the letter of the meeting, Lu Guo didn't think about it at all, and replied the letter the next day, asking Guo Gongji's father to take it back to Luoshi and tell the emperor that Lu Guo is willing to participate in the meeting. Union.

Guo Gongji's father soon turned back, this time he went straight back and forth, and he was so fast that it took less than a month.

It's not just that the state of Lu wants to join the alliance, but the state of Jin also wants to join the alliance after hearing that the emperor wants to form an alliance with Lu.

For no other reason, the state of Jin formed an alliance with the state of Lu and attacked the state of Li together, and was accused by the emperor Xingshi before. This time, the state of Jin joined the alliance to apologize to the emperor.

Why is Jin so "weak" and wants to apologize to the emperor?Of course, it is because of the current situation of the Jin State. As I said before, not only the Lu State, but also the internal division of the Jin State, forming a faction headed by the Marquis of the Yicheng of the Jin State, and Quwo, the fiefdom of the Jin State. faction, the two factions are fighting in full swing.

At this time, which faction the emperor helps and which faction he favors will have a fatal impact on the other faction. The Marquis of Jin is afraid that the emperor will favor Quwo because of his own grudges. The Yicheng of the Marquis of Jin is already weak, but Quwo is strong Arrogant, and being protected by the emperor, wouldn't it be even more powerful?

That's why the Marquis of Jin came up to ask for peace like this, and wanted to apologize to the emperor himself.

Guo Gong reported to the emperor with a document, and Hei Jian happened to come too, with a "sinister and cunning" smile on his face, he said: "Emperor, the envoy of Quwo sent a document, requesting to participate in this alliance."

When Qi Lu heard it, he really didn't say what he said. The reason why the Marquis of Jin wanted to join the alliance was because he was terrified of Qu Wo, and Qu Wo knew it very well, so he also sent envoys to bring documents, and he also wanted to Participate in the alliance, in this way, the alliance is really very lively.

Yicheng of the Jin Kingdom is the capital, and the Marquis of Jin is also the orthodox of the Jin Kingdom, while Quwo is just a fiefdom. To put it bluntly, Duke Quwo is a subject of the Marquis of Jin, but because Quwo is powerful, no matter whether it is land or population, The number, or the number of soldiers and horses, all crushed Yicheng, so the current split situation of Jin State was formed.

The Marquis of Jin also did not have the iron wrist of Zheng Boweisheng, not only did he not have the iron wrist of Zheng Bo, the Marquis of Jin was directly assassinated by his courtiers back then, and the courtiers welcomed the first Duke Quwo into Yicheng to ascend the throne.But it is a pity that the state of Jin is of the blood of the Zhou people, and the talents of the state of Jin don't care about the weak and the strong, Quwo is so rampant, killing the king, it is really unreasonable, so the people of Yicheng finally expelled Quwogong who had entered Yicheng After going out, another Jinhou was established.

The first Duke Quwo failed to fulfill his grand ambition of assuming the throne until his death. Today’s Duke Quwo, known as the Zhuangbo of Quwo in history and named Eel, is also dedicated to fulfilling the dream of waiting for wings in Quwo.
