spring and autumn officials

"Parents and grandchildren?"

Even Qi Lu was taken aback. If I remember correctly, didn't Gongsunzi and his younger brother Ji Ya get together?It happened a long time ago, why are you going to get married all of a sudden?She was married to a daughter of the clan of Qi State.

Doctors Qing were also in an uproar. Of course, they didn't know the relationship between Gongsun Zidu and Ji Ya, but they all knew the relationship between Zheng Guo and Qi State.In the alliance of great powers, Zheng Guo and Qi Guo are originally alliances, and Zheng Guo and Qi Guo are both "superpowers". Once these two countries marry, it will be a strong alliance!

Today's Marquis Qi does have a daughter, but the eldest daughter is not yet old enough to marry, so the sons and grandchildren must marry not the daughter of Marquis Qi, but the daughter of the clan.Qihou Lufu had a younger brother, who was called Yi Zhongnian in history, also known as Qi Zhongnian. Yi represents the east, Zhong is ranking, and Nian is his name. The descendants of Yi Zhongnian gradually formed Nian surname.

This Yi Zhongnian is the younger brother of Qihou Lufu with the same father and mother. Because he was born by the same mother, the relationship is very close. Qihou Lufu thinks highly of Yi Zhongnian.Although Yi Zhongnian is the younger brother, his daughter is older than Qihou's daughter, just at the age of marriage.

Speaking of Yi Zhongnian may be unfamiliar to many people, but Yi Zhongnian has a son who is the Gongsun of Qi State. This Gongsun is much more famous than his father, and that is the "famous" Gongsun Wuzhi.

Qi Lu remembered Gongsun Wuzhi, at first it was because of his name, the ancients named him really "wonderful", calling his son Wuzhi.

Because this Gongsun Wuzhi is Yi Zhongnian's son, that is, Qihou Lufu's nephew, Qihou regards Yi Zhongnian very highly, and loves his house as much as Wuzhi, so he also cherishes his nephew very much, to what extent?I love Gongsun Wuzhi to the point that he is just a Gongsun, but he has a higher status than the princes, let alone the second son Jiu of Qi and Xiaobai, the youngest son of Qi, even the prince Zhuer of Qi is not as ignorant as Gongsun Wuzhi High status!

Gongsun Wuzhi received the same treatment as the prince since he was a child, so that after the death of Qihou Lufu, the prince Zhu'er came to the throne, Gongsun Wuzhi gave birth to a rebellious heart, directly assassinated Zhu'er, and established himself as the king of Qi.

This Gongsun ignorance is the former abolished Duke of Qi in history.The two generations of consecutive hegemony between Duke Zhuang and Duke Xi of Qi were almost ruined by Zhuer and Gongsun Wuzhi, but soon, after the chaos of Zhuer and Gongsun Wuzhi, Qi State ushered in the most glorious and prosperous period. It was the young son Xiaobai who entered Qi, ascended the throne and became Duke Huan of Qi, dominating the Spring and Autumn Period.

This time Zheng Guo and Qi State were married, and the married daughter of the Qi State's clan was Yi Zhongnian's eldest daughter, and the person who gave the marriage should be a relative of the Guo Daughter's family, so it fell on Gongsun Wuzhi.

Hei shouldered and clasped his hands and said: "Son of Heaven, both Zheng and Qi are powerful states of Zhou Dynasty. Now that the emperor ascends the throne, it is very difficult to restrain Zheng's dominance. If Zheng and Qi marry, then from the middle land to the east, it will be easy. It's all these overbearing lands."

Black shoulders are not alarmist, indeed.Since Ji Lin came to power, he managed to suppress the signs of Zheng Guo's arrogance. After the battle of Song Guo, Chen Guo, and Cai Guowei at the East Gate, Zheng Guo was hurt and calmed down for a while, as if he wanted to recuperate.If Zheng Guo really marries with Qi Guo and join forces, the speed of Zheng Guo's recuperation and recovery will be greatly improved, which is tantamount to a huge threat to Master Luo.

As the emperor of Zhou, Ji Lin not only had to fight against the aggression of the barbarians, but also had to take care of every aspect of his "own family". If he didn't pay attention, he would fatten the princes into a big country, which was tantamount to raising tigers.

Ji Lin said in a deep voice, "About Zheng Guo and Qi Guo's marriage, do other senior officials have any suggestions?"

The doctors Qing looked at each other, and the voices of whispering became noisy for a while.

"We must never allow Zheng Guo and Qi Guo to marry."

"That's right, Zheng Guo and Qi Guo are already strong and powerful, if these two countries are in front of each other, it's like feeding tigers."

"Then what to do, now that Zheng Guo and Qi Guo are married, the emperor has no reason to break up their marriage."

Everyone couldn't think of a good way for a while, although they all knew that Zheng Guo and Qi Guo could not be united together, but they did not make any mistakes in marrying the two countries, so there is no reason to fight mandarin ducks.

Ji Lin pondered for a while, and said: "The marriage between the State of Zheng and the State of Qi is a happy event. Both the grandson and the widow have some friendship. The grandson and grandson are all married. According to the etiquette system, the father and brother should welcome the marriage, but Zheng Guo first The Duke has passed away, and the elder brother of Gongsun Zidu is the current Zheng Bo, the king has no reason to leave the country, and it is not easy for Zheng Bo to go to greet his relatives..."

What Ji Lin said was very reasonable. Although Gongsun Zidu was of noble status and was a good match for Yi Zhongnian's daughter, welcoming the bride was a problem. Gongsun Zidu's father had passed away, and his elder brother was Zheng Boweisheng, Gong Shu Duan is also dead at this moment. According to the etiquette system, all grandsons and grandchildren marry the daughters of the clan and the country, and fathers and brothers are required to welcome their relatives, but no one is eligible for this meeting.

Ji Lin laughed softly and said, "If not, I will send Grand Tutor Qi to personally greet the grandson and grandson."

Qi Lu heard Ji Lin point his name, raised his head, and looked at the emperor.

The handsome emperor's lips showed a trace of "bad intentions" smile, Qi Lu raised his eyebrows, although the position of monarch and minister is far away, Qi Lu can still feel the emperor's malicious smile, where is the emperor? Did you let yourself go to greet the relatives, obviously you let yourself beat the mandarin ducks?

Heijian immediately said: "As the emperor and the emperor, Taifu Qi has a noble status and the grace of the emperor. If it is true that Taifu Qi is invited to greet his grandson and grandson, it is really a great love for Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo will definitely not refuse."

Although Qi Lv was born as a minor official, he is now the head of the three princes in the Luoshi royal family. His status is incomparably noble. It is such an honor to be the father and brother of Gongsun Zidu and go to welcome his relatives. How could Uncle Zheng refuse? ?Even if Zheng Bo understood that the Son of Heaven was restless and kind, he would still be a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, unable to explain his suffering.

Qi Lu immediately stood up and said, "It's a great honor for Lulu to be able to greet the grandson and grandson of such a happy event."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "That's the case, then this matter is settled like this, Duke Zhou, you draft the document and send it to Zheng Guo immediately, and tell Uncle Zheng the good news as soon as possible."

What good news is clearly bad news!

After everyone discussed, the court soon dispersed, Zhou Gong Hei Jian was going to the Zhengshitang to draft documents, he was very busy, Qi Lv's literary talents were not as outstanding as Hei Jian, so the literary matters were left to Hei Jian to handle.Qi Lu has been appointed as the special envoy to welcome the bride, but the document from Heijian has not been sent to Zheng Guo, so the matter of welcoming the bride is urgent, so Qi Lu went to the dining room leisurely.

Qi Lv went to the dining room, and entered the dining room in a very happy mood, and saw that the cooks were all frowning, and their faces were almost turning into donkey faces, as if they were mourning.

Qi Lu said, "What's the matter?"

When the cooks saw Qi Lu coming in, they immediately said as if they were seeing their old father, "Teacher, the big thing is over, and Da Sima is here again!"

"It's coming again?" Qi Lu was also terrified when he heard it. Why is Wu Man, the kitchen killer, coming again?

There is nothing going on in the Sima Department recently. After all, Huaiyi has been pacified, and Lu Guo has surrendered to the emperor. When I go to the dining room, I always get into the dining room to pass the time.

Qi Lu had a headache, and the cooks complained in low voices: "Why does Da Sima always run towards us? Is Sima so idle?"

"That's right, it's fine if you come to help. This... Da Sima is purely here to make trouble. Our status is low, so we can't keep up."

"Hey, Taifu, go and have a look, Da Sima is shredding firewood again!"

Qi Lv rubbed his forehead, came out of the dining room, came to the warehouse behind, and saw Da Sima who was sweating profusely at a glance, Wu Man was helping the servants to chop firewood, but Wu Man still looked absent-minded, really As if shredding, the technique is nimble and sharp, "Shua Shua Shua! Shua Shua Shua!" The output is astonishing!

Qi Lu hurriedly said, "Da Sima!"

Wu Man was shredding the firewood, when he heard Qi Lu's voice, he came to his senses and said, "Teacher, what else is there to do? Don't be polite to me, just let me do what you can do." .”

Qi Luqian laughed, thinking that you can do it too.Because Wuman had no energy to use, Qi Lu asked Wuman to chop stuffing and pound the meatballs. Qi Lu personally tested that pounding the meatballs is good for relieving boredom.

Then there was a sound of "Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong!" from the dining room, and Wu Man beat the meatballs fiercely, almost breaking the rolling pin.

Wu Man came to the dining room to beat the balls every day for three days in a row.

On the first day, Tianzi ate rice noodles with beef tendon ball soup. He ate it with relish.

On the second day, the emperor ate vegetable and fish ball soup. The fish balls were delicious, the vegetables were sweet, and the soup was refreshing. The taste was so refreshing that the emperor could drink three bowls in one sitting.

On the third day, the emperor ate the most authentic dry fried meatballs in old Beijing. The fried meatballs were delicious, especially the dipping sauce. If you eat one, you want two, and if you eat two, you think four.

Even if the Son of Heaven loves to eat meatballs, he can’t eat them all the time. He eats meatballs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now he almost feels sick when he sees round things, so that Qi Lu made glutinous glutinous rice balls for him, and the Son of Heaven blurted out: " The widow doesn’t want to eat meatballs anymore!”

Qi Lv is also quite helpless. Da Sima produces meatballs too fast. He can chop a lot of meat and beat a lot of meatballs every day. It would be too wasteful if he didn’t finish eating them. In line with the concept of not wasting, everyone is eating meatballs these days .

Today Da Sima Wuman was still beating meatballs in the dining room, and the lamb shoulder came in from the outside and said, "Teacher, Si Xing is too busy. Zhou Gong is dealing with Zheng Qi's marriage. Lu Guo sent documents. Si Xing Please ask Taifu Qi to go and help."

Sixing is the department that manages diplomacy. Because Zhou Gong Heijian is quite smooth, he works in the Sixing department, which is the handle of the royal family's Sixing.

Hei Jian is very busy these days, so he can't get away, so he wants to ask Qi Lu to help take care of Lu Guo's diplomatic affairs.

"Luguo!?"

Before Qi Lv could speak, a voice suddenly came in. Da Sima held up the rolling pin with both hands, and kept beating the minced meat absentmindedly, but he didn't know that a word from the sheep shoulder actually dragged Da Sima's soul back.

Wu Man immediately said: "What's wrong with Lu Guo?"

Yan Yangjian said: "Back to Da Sima, I don't know the specific ministers, Lu Guo sent documents, it seems to be about sending protons to Luoshi."

Lu State surrendered to Great Zhou, but after all, Lu State is from Chidi, and is the most powerful branch of Chidi, so the emperor is not very relieved. After Lu Ziyi returned to Lu State, he proposed to send protons Ji Lin had already agreed to the idea of ​​coming to the Great Zhou, and now it was time for Lu Guo to send the protons to the Great Zhou, but Zhou Gong Hei Jian was too busy, so he wanted to ask Qi Lu for help.

Qi Lu usually has great flexibility in his work. Now that Zi Sixing needs help, Qi Lu put down the work at hand, let the cooks continue to be busy, and went to the Zhengshitang after cleaning his hands.

Lu Guo really wants to send protons to Luoshi. In order to express the sincerity of the Lu family, the protons sent are still the nobles of the Lu family. The team has already set off and will soon arrive at Luoshi. Meet the team.

Now Luoshi and Luguo have a good relationship, so you can't be negligent when sending the hostages, you still need to treat each other with courtesy. In this way, not only to welcome the hostages, but also to prepare a swallow drink to welcome the nobles of the Luguo .

Qi Lu was fully in charge of this matter. On the day when the Lu State team entered Luoshi, Qi Lu personally came to the gate of Luoshi to greet them, and led the envoys of the Lu clan to stay in the pavilion, and came to participate in the welcome drink at night.

It is said that the proton of the Lu family sent this time has a high status, so Yan Yin's style is also very high, and the emperor and doctors will be present.

Wu Man walked into the Yanyin Hall, and the literati and bureaucrats complimented each other. He saw the mission of the Lu Kingdom at a glance. After scanning it carefully, he found no one he knew, let alone the figure he wanted to see. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. , sat in his seat.

As soon as Wu Man sat in, he saw someone walking over. It turned out to be Da Sikong Yinzi.Yin Zi is old and rarely comes to banquets, so it is not easy to come to Yanyin.

A few days ago, the Yin family and the Wu family had a lot of discord, but now it is a thing of the past. Now the Yin family and the Wu family have nothing to do with each other, and because the Yin family and the Wu family have contributed to the rescue of the eldest son, they have received credit respectively. After working together once, I became more or less familiar with each other.

Yin Zi took the initiative to come over to say hello, Wu Man hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, saying: "Old Yin, you are an elder, Man should be the one who saluted first."

Yin Zi smiled and said: "General Wu is a young talent, the old man said about the marriage for General Wu a few days ago, but it still counts. Do you want General Wu to reconsider?"

Wu Man was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that it was about himself and Miss Yin Si. Wu Man had sworn before that he would not marry Miss Yin Si in this life, but the Miss Yin Si that he was thinking about had already gone to Lu Country. Became the king of the Lu Kingdom, and now this Miss Yinsi is good in every way, just like a real little white rabbit, but for some reason, Wu Man always misses that fake little white rabbit in his heart.

Wu Man said embarrassingly: "This... the girl from the Yin family is well-educated, gentle and pleasant, but..."

Wu Man politely praised Miss Yin Si, and wanted to turn around and decline the Yin family's marriage, but before he finished speaking, he heard a laugh and said, "Yes, Miss Yin Si is well educated and reasonable. , Gentle and pleasant, Da Sima is a hero, this heroic beauty has been a couple since ancient times, it is a match made in heaven, why didn't Da Sima take the opportunity to agree to this marriage?"

The man's voice was low, with a hint of a smile, pouring into Wuman's ears, Wuman was startled, and immediately turned his head, the other person was very close to Wuman, because of his tall stature, he even bent slightly, Wuman Man turned her head sharply, and the lips of the two almost touched.

Wu Man took a closer look, and there was a "Boom—" in his mind, and he said in shock, "Lu Ziyi?!"

The one standing behind Wuman turned out to be Lu Ziyi.

Lu Ziyi didn't wear women's clothes. Now that he is the monarch of Lu Kingdom, there is no need to wear women's clothes to hide his identity. He is dressed in a black robe and a crown of princes, which complements his tall figure and handsome face. There was a smile belonging to the monarch on the corner of his lips, with a hint of banter.

Wu Man said in shock: "You...you..."

Lu Ziyi smiled slightly, and said, "The etiquette of Zhou people is to call Gu by his name directly, and then you come and go?"

Only then did Wuman realize that he lost his composure just now and yelled Lu Ziyi's name in public. Now Lu Ziyi is already the king of the country. Wuman suddenly yelled so loudly that everyone in Yanyin Hall looked at Wuman.

Wu Man coughed in embarrassment, but felt gnashed his teeth and said, "Why are you here?"

Lu Ziyi said: "Gu follows the mission to visit the emperor, why can't he be here? Isn't this reception banquet prepared for Gu?"

Wu Man was a little stunned, and said: "That's right, I'm afraid Lu Gong came to send the protons to the Luo division in person."

No wonder the style of Yan Yin was so high this time. It turned out that the Lord of Lu Kingdom came to visit in person. Wu Man just thought it was reasonable, and then he heard Lu Ziyi say: "Don't you know, Da Sima? Gu is not here to send protons to Zhou."

Wu Man said strangely: "Then you are..." Couldn't it be a special trip to see me?

Thinking of this, Wu Man immediately got goosebumps all over his body, thinking that Lu Ziyi, who left without saying goodbye, would not be so affectionate.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziyi said with a smile, "Gu... is Lu Guo's proton."

"What?!" Wu Man was completely stunned. The noble proton of the Lu Kingdom turned out to be the Lord of the Lu Kingdom himself?

In fact, there are many feudal princes who will work in Luoshi, such as Guogong Jifu, who himself manages Guoguo, but at the same time is the official of the Luoshi royal family, but Luguo is so far away from Luoshi, Lu Ziyi actually wants Come hostage yourself.

Besides, they are hostages, and they are not here to be Doctor Qing.

Da Sima Wuman was shocked, and couldn't recover for a long time. Yin Zi didn't see their relationship, and said with a smile: "Don't Da Sima know? The king of Lu is very angry, for the sake of the relationship between Lu and me. , preparing to enter Master Luo personally as a hostage, isn’t Taifu Qi handling this matter himself? The list of envoys has long been determined.”

When Yin Zi said this, Wu Man suddenly realized, yes, the list of missions must have been finalized long ago, and the Lord of the Lu Kingdom must not come just by slapping his head, but Wu Man has never been aware of it, waiting for Lu Ziyi to appear In front of him, Wuman was startled.

Wu Man immediately looked for Qi Lu in the crowd, all of this must be a good thing Qi Lu did, deliberately concealing it.

Indeed, in fact, Qi Lu had seen the list of Lu Guo missions for a long time, and knew that the noble proton was Lu Ziyi himself, but he didn't tell Wu Man that he planned to give Wu Man a surprise, and second, he was a small A little "revenge" on Wu Man, Qi Taifu is a grudge, he did not forget the first time he and Wu Man met, Wu Man came to threaten him to keep himself away from the emperor.

Unknowingly, Wu Man was swayed by Qi Taifu, and now he regrets and is angry, but there is nothing he can do.

Lu Ziyi smiled and said, "Manman, do you want to be lonely?"

Wu Man frowned, with disgust on his face, and said: "It's disgusting, what are you talking about?"

Yin Zi originally planned to propose marriage to Wu Man, but Wu Man and Lu Guojun seemed to want to reminisce about the old days, so Yin Zi walked away knowingly.

Qi Lv was chatting with Hei Jian and Ji's father, Hei Jian smiled and said: "Teacher Qi is playing around with Da Sima like this, be careful of Da Sima's revenge."

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Hey, Da Sima is subordinate to Sima, and the affairs of Lu Guo's envoys are subordinate to Sixing. Da Sima doesn't know about it. This is also a reasonable thing, and it's not a fault of Lu."

The three of them were talking, when Yin Zi came over, saw Duke Guo Ji's father at a glance, and said with a smile, "Duke Guo."

Ji's father immediately returned the salute, saying, "Old Yin."

Yin Zi failed to propose marriage to Da Sima, and now he has his eyes on Guo Gongji's father again, and said with a smile: "Guo Gong, when will you let go and be the uncle of my Yin family? The old man is looking forward to getting married with Guo Gong." It has become a relationship of in-laws."

When Guo Gongji's father heard it, he subconsciously glanced at Hei Jian, feeling like he was a thief.However, Heijian's face was as usual, as usual, with a faint smile, like a harmless fox.

Hei Jian pretended not to care and said to Yin Zi: "Old Yin, Hei Jian is not married yet. There are so many gentle girls in your family, why don't you introduce them to Hei Jian?"

Yin Zi hadn't had time to speak, but Guo Gongji's father suddenly said, "No!"

Yin Zi looked at Ji's father strangely, and said, "Duke Guo, you are..."

Guo Gongji's father realized later that he had lost his composure just now, but he was really anxious. Hei Jian asked Yin Zi to introduce his wife to him, obviously they had already done that kind of thing...

Thinking of this, Ji's father only felt sour in his stomach, and there was sour water, which was very uncomfortable when it was stuck in his stomach.

Heijian still smiled and said to Guo Gongji's father: "Why not?"

Heijian was asking the question knowingly, Guo Gongji's father showed a look of anger, and his face instantly became serious, as if it was winter weather, getting colder every day, then quickly freezing, and finally freezing into a big lump of ice.

Guo Gongji's father's breath was gloomy, without saying a word, staring at Hei Jian's smile, he suddenly grabbed Hei Jian and said, "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, he dragged his staggering black shoulders and rushed out of the Yanyin Hall.

Qi Lv looked confused, thinking what are these two people doing in such a hurry, it looks like they are running away.

The first time Yin Zi tried to tell Da Sima about his marriage, and the second time he tried to talk about his marriage to Guo Gongji's father, he also failed. For a moment, only the old man and Qi Lu were left. The old man looked at Qi Lu with a smile and said, "Qi Lu Grand Tutor, you haven't married yet, have you?"

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, yes..." But to tell the truth to the old man, although Lu didn't marry a wife, he had a boyfriend and a "son".

Qi Lu could tell at a glance that the old man was probably "too lonely" and wanted to tell himself about his marriage, Qi Lu's eyelids jumped wildly. At this moment, the emperor suddenly "fallen from the sky" and said in a serious voice: " Grand Tutor, the widow is looking for you, and I just want to talk to Tai Tu about welcoming the bride."

As soon as Yin Zi heard that the emperor had serious matters to discuss with Taifu Qi, it was not easy to disturb him, so he said: "The old man will retire first, and don't disturb the emperor to discuss business with Taifu."

After Yin Zi left, Qi Lu heaved a sigh of relief, and Ji Lin took Qi Lu out of the Yanyin Palace and entered the imperial chamber in Lu's bedroom.

Qi Lv thought that the emperor really had something important to discuss with him, but he didn't know that as soon as he entered the imperial palace, the emperor sent all the eunuchs and maids away, then closed the door of the imperial palace with a bang, squinted his eyes and said: "Teacher I really don’t want to let the poor worry about it, if you look away for a while, you will be promiscuous.”

Qi Lu said: "Son of Heaven, the conscience of heaven and earth, Yin Zi is getting old, and the only thing he can do is to talk about kissing... Besides, Lu is about to tactfully reject Mr. Yin."

Ji Lin snorted, looking like a proud little milk dog, and said, "I don't care, I will punish the Taifu."

Qi Lv raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shihu. In fact, he was not looking at Shihu, but at the sky outside, and said with a smile, "Son of Heaven, are you really sure that the time is still enough?"

Ji Lin subconsciously glanced at Shihu, indeed, there was not enough time, and the night was dark, and it was too late for any "punishment" from the emperor.

Qi Lu laughed "hehehe", rubbing his palms, he clearly had a handsome face, and he smiled like a mountain king, approaching the handsome emperor with two steps, "Boom!" superior.

Because of Qi Lu's stature, it was very difficult for him to lift Ji Lin up, especially with his head raised, but this did not hinder Taifu Qi's aura at all.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Son of Heaven, Zi's time has come. If the Son of Heaven wants to punish Lu, Lu can do it for you..."

Before Qi Lu finished speaking, Ji Lin moved swiftly, grabbing Qi Lu's waist, opened the palace door suddenly, and pushed Qi Lu out of the imperial room with ease, and then the door of the imperial room "clang!" With a sound of closing, Qi Lu was once again locked out of the imperial chamber by the emperor.

When Qi Lu realized it, the Son of Heaven had already closed the door firmly, and Qi Lu immediately ran to the side of Shihu, grabbed Shihu and said, "Son of Heaven, open the door!"

Ji Lin pushed Qi Lv out of the room and knew that he was going to climb the window, so he immediately turned to the side of the room and closed the room again.Qi Lu held the room firmly, and said: "Lin'er, the Taifu promises to be gentle, it doesn't matter, just lie down, Lin'er!"

Ji Lin had a headache, and his eyelids twitched wildly. Ever since Taifu Qi found out that Tian Ziye would turn into a little dog, he had all kinds of strange ideas. The handsome emperor.

Ji Lin always felt that the Tai Tuo was so bold that even the widows were afraid!

Ji Lin said: "Teacher, be good, don't stay up late, go and rest."

After finishing speaking, with a sound of "Bang!", the room was also closed, and the door was also dropped from the outside, as if afraid that Qi Lu, the "tiger", would sneak in in the middle of the night...

Hei Jian's draft document was sent to Zheng Guo, and Zheng Boyu knew better than anyone else that the emperor would definitely not like the marriage between Zheng Guo and Qi Guo, so he asked Qi Taifu to see off the marriage, which clearly wanted Qi Lu to find a way to mess up the marriage.

But Zheng Boweisheng couldn't say anything, he could only accept it gratefully, so Taifu Qi replaced the matter of welcoming the bride as the father and brother of the grandson and son, and it was settled like this.

There are many countries between Qi State and Zheng State. The team of Qi State sent off relatives, with Gongsun Wuzhi as the special envoy, crossed from Qi State all the way to Fan State.

Fanguo is also a vassal state under the jurisdiction of Dazhou, with the surname of Ji and the count.Just like many little-known small countries, Fan Kingdom has a very small land area, and no one dares to offend it, especially Fan Kingdom is still sandwiched between Wei Guo and Zheng Guo. You must know that Wei Guo and Zheng Guo are two There are two different camps, and they often fight. It is not easy for Fanguo to be caught in the middle.

Because Fan Kingdom is quite neutral, no one dares to offend, so it is relatively easy to talk. This time, the team of Qi State sending off relatives and the team of Zheng Guo welcoming relatives will meet in the territory of Fan Kingdom.

As the special envoy to welcome relatives, Qi Lu will also personally go to Fan Kingdom to welcome the daughters of the clan and daughters of Qi Kingdom.

Qi Lu was going to be sent to Fanguo, so Ji Lin naturally wanted to go with him, but if Ji Lin followed to Fanguo, wouldn't it be like the son of heaven personally welcoming his grandson and grandson, which is really unreasonable.Although the status of Gongsunzidu is very high, in the final analysis, Gongsunzidu is just a Gongsunzi, and Ji Lin is the emperor, so there is no reason for the emperor to greet Gongsun in person.

Therefore, Ji Lin absolutely cannot follow Qi Lu to Fanguo. In this case, Qi Lu will go to meet his relatives and also attend the wedding of Gongsun Zidu.

It's winter now, and Ji Lin won't be able to see Qi Lu again until the Spring Festival opens next year.But when Fan Fan thought about it, Ji Lin felt uncomfortable, especially since Zheng Guoke still had a sacrificial tooth.

Although Ji Ya is Qi Lu's nominal brother-in-law, but Ji Lin knows better than anyone else that Ji Ya always blush when he sees Qi Lu before he and his grandson get married. Ji Lin is a hundred, and a thousand don't believe it.

But now there is something between Gongsun Zidu and Ji Ya, Gongsun Zidu is going to get married, Ji Lin is even more worried about Qi Lu going to Zheng State, what if Ji Ya and Qi Lu relapse?

Ji Lin is pitiful, and he is very reluctant to part with Qi Lu. How can Qi Lu be willing to part with Ji Lin? After all, the two have not been in love for a long time. I can't see the handsome emperor for a long time, and my heart is scratching my heart.

Before Qi Lu left, he specially made some snacks for Ji Lin, such as crispy noodles, jerky in honey sauce, spicy stewed meat, lotus root powder, etc. Qi Lu also specially made some Jianshui tofu and wrapped tofu.

The tofu duo is ready, you can bake it anytime you want, just bake it a little bit, stick a little sauce on it, Jianshui tofu is tough and springy, after roasting, the taste is incomparable to ordinary tofu, and the sauce is delicious It is very fragrant and has no fishy smell of beans.

And this patina-coated tofu, after being baked, is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the outside is extremely crispy. Once you bite into it, the real burst of pulp brings out the freshness and tenderness to the extreme.

Qi Lu made a bunch of snacks, as if he was afraid that the emperor would be hungry in the palace after he left.The sky was getting bright, and the team of the mission was ready to leave. Qi Lu finally got up from the couch, washed up and came to the gate of Luoshi City.

Qi Lu glanced at it, the emperor did not come to see him off in person, although Qi Lu felt a little pity and wanted to see the emperor again, but he would not come if he didn't come, lest he be reluctant to see him off.

Qi Lu left the gate of Luoshi City, and was about to board the carriage. As soon as he approached the carriage, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. Isn't that fragrance just like the smell of roasted tofu?

This stuffed tofu is not made with brine. It has a special taste. It cannot be said to be as exaggerated as the taste of stinky tofu, but it also has a faint taste. After roasting, the taste is not obvious, and it tastes extra delicious. tender.

Qi Lu seemed to smell this smell, and sniffed his sleeve robe carefully. Although he made a lot of tofu with paste yesterday, he should not have this smell on his body. It is clearly a new change of clothes. Showered and changed clothes.

"Wow——" Qi Lu lifted the tent curtain of the luggage cart, and suddenly a scent of baked tofu came to his face. The smell was not an illusion at all, it was coming from the luggage cart, and it was very strong.

Qi Lvding saw with his own eyes that there was someone in the carriage of his special envoy. The man was dressed in black and was sitting on the soft seat of the carriage. Crispy noodles, pork jerky, fried lotus root strips, lotus root starch and milk tea are also placed, and they are eaten with relish.

Isn't it the Son of Heaven? !

Ji Lin used a small sign to tie the roasted tofu, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and covered it with sauce. Then, he rolled the tofu in a dry dish, and then put it in his mouth. He gave Qi Lu a handsome and warm look. Smiling, he said: "Tai Fu, this tofu is really delicious, as soft and tender as Tai Fu."

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lv thought he was wrong and rubbed his eyes.Qi Lu is indeed reluctant to part with his handsome boyfriend, but it is not enough to cause hallucinations.

He rubbed his eyes, the "illusion" did not disappear, the emperor was still sitting on his carriage, not only that, the emperor was still holding the little dog in his arms.

Because the emperor was awake, the little dog naturally couldn't be awake, as if he was deeply asleep, lying in the arms of the emperor.

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched wildly and said, "Son of Heaven, why are you here?"

While he was speaking, the carriage had already started moving, Qi Lv really wanted to call the parking team, and shouted, don't drive, the emperor is still in the car.

Ji Lin, on the other hand, looked relaxed, patted the soft seat with a smile, motioned Qi Lv to sit down, and then said, "Teacher, don't be so nervous, take it easy, I'm not going to greet the relatives, what a coincidence, I'm just about to go Fanguo personally visits and investigates."

Qi Lu: "..." Hehe, Son of Heaven, what a coincidence.

The Son of Heaven wants to go to Fanguo to investigate in person, which is completely in line with the regulations. Although the princes have regulations that they cannot go out of the country for no serious matter, the Son of Heaven is free.

Especially during this period of time, the Huaiyi people and the Chidi people are very peaceful, the generals in Luoshi are harmonious, even if the emperor travels far away, there is no problem, and besides, it is only Fanguo, Fanguo and Zhengguo are beside Luoshi, It's not very far either.

The emperor had already "slipped" out of Master Luo, and Qi Lu couldn't send the emperor back, so we all went on the road together.

The convoy left Luoshi and headed towards Fanguo.

Fan country is also a vassal country, also a country with the surname of Ji, and it is also around Luoshi, but Fan country is not a big country, its economy and military division are not developed, and its population is not much. Compared with the surrounding powerful countries, it is much behind.

When the team left the royal family, they could feel that the road was bumpy, and the place where the Van Kingdom and the Republic bordered was very desolate. In addition, it was winter, the wind was very strong, and the road was full of sand and rocks.

This day has been in a trance, because the surrounding area is too desolate, the wind is too strong, the team has not found a place to camp for a while, Ji Lin ate too much baked tofu, the cart is bumpy, and the dirt road is unavoidable, some motion sickness is inevitable. His cheeks were slightly pale, and he had a melancholic beauty.

Qi Taifu's boyfriend was overwhelmed, so he let Ji Lin lie on his lap. Suddenly, the carriage bumped violently, and the case almost jumped up due to the bumps. The roasted tofu flew out directly with the bumps of the carriage, and rolled about to fall on the soft mat.

The Son of Heaven was clearly suffering from motion sickness, but his reaction was very quick at this time, "Shua!" With a sweep of his black sleeves, he immediately hooked Chengpan and caught the few baked tofu that popped out. ...

Ji Lin showed a happy smile and said, "Fortunately, the widow's baked tofu."

Qi Lu felt helpless, lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "What's the situation? Why is it so bumpy?"

Zhu Dan came on horseback and said, "Teacher, there seems to be some confusion ahead, and I have already sent someone to look."

Qi Lu lifted the curtain of the car, and dust rose in the distance. It was indeed a little chaotic, as if there were horses galloping, and someone was vaguely seen running.

Immediately there was a shout: "The Rong people are coming!"

"The horse thief is coming!"

"Run! Who is Tu!"

It turned out that those running people were the people on the border of the Fan Kingdom, and the dim loess behind them was the masterpiece of the horseshoes of the Shanrong people.

The generation of Fan Kingdom is often attacked by Shan Rong. Shan Rong is actually the Rong people living in the mountains. It stands to reason that they are very far away, near Qin, Jin and Yan.
