Chapter 169 The Embarrassing Thing (1)
Wu Jiu gave him a supercilious look for free, and Qi Hou kept tugging at his sleeve, Wu Jiu wanted to pull it back, but he was afraid that the movement would be too loud and attract people's attention, so he had no choice but to let Qi Hou pull him.
Prince Zheng received the seal letter, and after the officials paid homage, Ji Lang said: "Everyone has worked hard for today's affairs. Please go back to the post house to rest first. The widow will hold a court meeting in another day. Please come and discuss with the princes and officials." The matter of Marquis Gerber Wei will still depend on you all."
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands, asking Ji Lang and the crown prince to retreat from the altar first, and then exited the hall, ready to go back.
Gui Zhu wiped the cold sweat off his brow. Fortunately, his purpose this time was to promote himself to the Marquis of Jin, so he didn't take this muddy water trip. The public can't keep it.
Everyone withdrew, and soon went back in a mighty manner. Everyone was greeting each other along the way. It was good to go back. We had a lot of talk, and we all got together, talking and walking back. Gerber was so overreaching that he eventually turned into a public embarrassment, and everyone naturally wanted to talk and laugh.
When the large army returned to Luoshi City, everyone went directly to the post house. Ji Lang and Crown Prince Zheng were going back to the palace.
When the envoys of the princes arrived at the gate of the posthouse, they saw many forbidden soldiers still surrounding the posthouse. Everyone didn't know what was going on at first, but after a closer look, it turned out that the forbidden army was arresting people from Wei and Ge. stand up.
There was a yelling voice from inside, a woman's voice was very sharp, shouting: "Let go of me!! Let me go!! I am the daughter of Qi! I am the daughter of Qi! You can't Catch me! Let go of me!!"
Just when the voice came to the gate of the post house, there were princes and envoys on the three floors outside, and the outside three floors were full of princes and envoys. Stretching their necks and looking in, they saw several imperial guards grabbing Xuan Jiang and dragging her out. Jiang wailed all the way, and finally hugged a big tree at the door, but refused to leave.
When the princes looked inside, they all burst into laughter. Xuan Jiang's face was very embarrassed when he heard the laughter, but he saw Qihou and Wu Jiao in the crowd, and quickly shouted: "Brother! Brother! Save me! Save me!"
As soon as Xuan Jiang let go, he was dragged by the imperial guards and walked out. When he reached the side of the crowd, the crowd dispersed automatically, but Xuan Jiang suddenly broke free from the imperial guards and rushed towards the crowd.
Xuan Jiang rushed towards Qi Hou, how fast Qi Hou reacted, he quickly put his arms around Wu Jiu's waist, flashed suddenly, and flashed past, Xuan Jiang rushed to nothing, fell to the ground suddenly, He fell and ate shit, and almost broke his front teeth. He quickly covered his mouth and gnawed on the ground, as if blood had come out of it.
The soldiers rushed over, but Xuan Jiang climbed up, kicked back and shouted: "Don't touch me! Don't touch me! I don't know, I don't know at all!! I am a daughter of Qi, let go! I!"
Everyone looked at Xuan Jiang as if they were watching the excitement, Xuan Jiang wanted to pounce on Marquis Qi many times, but Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Mother of the Kingdom of Wei, you keep saying that it has nothing to do with you, you don't know, how did the widow hear that?" The reason why Wei Guo and Ge Guo can cooperate is because you worked hard to earn money from your couch?"
When he said this, all the princes standing at the door burst into laughter. Xuan Jiang looked pale, stared at Wu Jiu, and said, "You! You are talking nonsense!!"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Why are you talking nonsense? All the daughters of the country of Ge know it. I believe it is not a secret in the country of Ge. Why don't you ask the followers of the country of Ge? Oh, I really feel sorry for the parents of the world. In order to support the son who can’t stand on the wall, Mother of the State of Wei, you really sacrificed your life for righteousness, and you sacrificed your life for the sake of the State of Wei, but the Marquis of Wei still made a mess.”
Xuan Jiangqi's teeth were chattering, the upper teeth hit the lower teeth, and every tooth was about to be shattered, and suddenly violently rushed towards Wu Jiao, but even if Xuan Jiang became violent, she couldn't do it at that speed , Seeing that she was about to rush over, there was no need for Qi Hou to drag Wu Jiu, the little Chong Er next to him suddenly stretched out his little meaty leg...
"Oh!!"
"Bam—"
Everyone saw that Xuan Jiang fell to the ground suddenly, and another dog ate shit. This time his face was scratched, and he quickly covered his face. The soldiers next to him immediately rushed up and grabbed Xuan Jiang. However, Xuan Jiang wanted to yell, but she had already been erected by the soldiers. No matter how she kicked or yelled, she just didn't stop, and took Xuan Jiang away quickly, ready to return to the palace to return to her command.
Little Chong'er suddenly tripped over Xuan Jiang, and the boy next to him pushed him nervously and said, "Gong Zhi, your legs don't look good, do they?"
Little Chong'er said nonchalantly, "Naturally nothing happened."
Wei Guo couldn't support the wall, the princes watched Xuan Jiang being taken away, they laughed and talked about it, and entered the post house one after another, Qi Hou pestered Wu Jiao to make fried chicken legs for him to eat, Wu Jiao had no choice but to bring Qi Hou also entered the post house and went straight to the dining room to prepare fried chicken legs.
Duke Quwo went into the posthouse, and after a while, he came out again, ordered his horses to be prepared, and went directly to the palace.
Ji Lang and Crown Prince Zheng returned to the palace. Ji Lang is in a very good mood today, which is naturally a good thing, because not to mention the eradication of the rebels in Wei and Ge, he also canonized the crown prince, fulfilling Ji Lang's wish. Naturally happy.
After Ji Lang went back to the dorm, he asked someone to set up a banquet to have a few drinks with Crown Prince Zheng. Seeing that Ji Lang was so happy, Prince Zheng said, "Father, don't drink a few cups. Afterwards, we have to deal with the affairs of the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Ge." , don't drink to get a hangover and headache."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "I see, Zheng Er has grown up, and she loves to worry so much."
Ji Lang filled himself with wine, poured another glass for Crown Prince Zheng, and said, "Zheng Er, now that you are the crown prince, for such a big matter, you should drink two glasses with Weifu."
Prince Zheng had no choice but raised his wine glass and said, "Congratulations, father, for eradicating the traitors."
Ji Lang also raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Zheng Er for being crowned prince."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. Because he drank too fast, the clear wine slid down the corner of Ji Lang's mouth, and got into the collar of Ji Lang's clothes along his neck, making him cumbersome. His court robes were dyed darker.
Ji Lang had already drank several cups in a row, his face flushed, his eyes were squinted, and he was smiling. Prince Zheng was holding the cup and hadn't drunk yet, so he was startled, and his heart beat wildly for no reason.
Seeing that he didn't drink, Ji Lang asked suspiciously, "Zheng Er, what's wrong?"
Only then did Crown Prince Zheng regain his senses, and suddenly felt a chill on his back, and quickly said, "No...it's nothing."
Ji Lang asked in surprise, "Is it because you are too tired today?"
Prince Zheng coughed and said, "Maybe."
Ji Lang hurriedly said, "Then go and rest quickly."
Prince Zheng said: "If the son stays with the father again, once the son leaves, the father must have drunk too much again."
Ji Lang smiled, and drank a few more glasses with Crown Prince Zheng. Ji Lang had a serious illness before, and now it is not appropriate to drink more alcohol. She seems to be getting drunk faster than before. After a few drinks, she passed out quickly because she was too happy. .
Crown Prince Zheng helped Ji Lang into the inner hall of the small dormitory, put him on the couch, covered him with a quilt, and it was only after sunset, although it was not time to go to bed, but Crown Prince Zheng saw that Ji Lang was faintly tired, but he still didn't feel tired. Wake him up and just let him fall asleep.
Crown Prince Zheng sat on the edge of the couch, looking at Ji Lang who was dreaming soundly, and sat there for a long time in a daze. Ji Lang slept soundly, turned over, hugged the quilt and murmured softly: "Hmm...Zheng Er... ..."
Crown Prince Zheng was startled, almost jumped up by the sound, hurriedly walked out, and quickly left the inner hall, as soon as he went out, he happened to meet the oncoming eunuch.
The eunuch almost bumped into Prince Zheng who was walking out in a hurry, so he backed up a few steps in fright, bowed quickly, and said, "Prince, Duke Quwo is out to see the Son of Heaven."
Prince Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Quwo?"
The eunuch responded, "That's right, Duke Quwo is asking to see you."
Prince Zheng frowned, and said: "Go back to Duke Quwo, the emperor has already fallen asleep, if there is something to do, we can go to the palace to discuss it in detail."
The eunuch hurriedly went out to respond, but Duke Quwo stood outside the door for a long time, but the eunuch came out and said in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, Duke Quwo, the emperor is already asleep, and the prince said, what's the matter, please change it." Let’s talk about it in a day.”
When I heard it, it was so early in the sky, why did I go to sleep?He didn't know that Ji Lang was happy today, and drank a lot of wine as soon as he came back. It sounded like Ji Lang was prevaricating himself and didn't want to see him.
The purpose of this trip is naturally to be promoted to the Marquis of Jin. Today's Jin Kingdom is divided into the Yicheng faction in the capital city. The Yicheng faction is the legitimate monarch of Jin, and the other faction is the Quwo faction. It is reasonable to say that it is a rebellion, it cannot be regarded as a prince at all, it is not recognized, but it can't stand it. Over the years, the Quwo faction has been more powerful. Yicheng established the Jinhou to kill the Jinhou, and Yicheng established the prince to kill the prince. Now Quwo's forces have spread all over Although Yicheng was very dissatisfied with the entire Jin Kingdom, and the scholar-bureaucrats were also very dissatisfied, they did not dare to establish the Marquis of Jin anymore.
Gui Zhu could already enter Yicheng, but he was afraid that the scholar-bureaucrats in Yicheng would object, so he did not dare to enter rashly. He wanted to bribe the emperor to let Ji Lang formally canonize him. Can't say anything.
Everyone knows what the purpose of Guizhu's visit this time is, and Guizhu feels that the emperor must know it too. Now that the son "shirks" not seeing him, Guizhu thinks too much, thinking that the emperor does not want to canonize himself, and suddenly feels a little anxious.
Gui Zhu couldn't see Ji Lang, so he had to leave the palace in a panic. After going back, he thought about it, and felt that this was not the way to go. He will counterattack Quwo, and then he will waste his energy, and the throne of Marquis Jin will be gone.
Gui Zhu was so anxious that he just stepped into the posthouse when he heard laughter. Wu Jiu and Qi Hou just came out of the dining room. Qi Hou himself was carrying a plate with several fried chicken legs, which were crispy and crispy. It smells so fragrant.
Marquis Qi followed Wu Jiu with a plate at the same pace, and the two passed by talking and laughing.
When Gui Zhu saw Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi, he suddenly came to pay attention. Now that the emperor favors Qi State and has a close relationship with Chu State, this is something that a blind person can see. If the emperor does not see him, why not bribe Wu first? To reconcile with Marquis Qi?
But Gui Zhu has some doubts, after all, he is an eunuch, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou both know, what should they do if those two people make things difficult for him?
There is really no way to do it. Compared with making things difficult, if you can't be canonized as Marquis of Jin, you will regret it for life.
Thinking of this, Gui Zhu made up his mind, hurried back to the house, got someone to write down the invitation card, and sent it to King Chu and Marquis Qi tomorrow, inviting them to the banquet.
Today was also tired, Qi Hou ate big chicken drumsticks and was not satisfied, he waited for Wu Jiao to take a bath, after taking a hot bath, the two of them went to bed and rested.
Wu Jiao didn't have any strange live broadcast "nightmare" today, because he took a hot bath before going to bed, which was very refreshing, so he slept very sweetly and had no dreams all night, but when he slept until dawn, Wu Jiao was stunned Woke up with pain!
Wu Jiao let out a painful "hiss...", opened his eyes, and saw Qi Hou hugging him tightly, not only that, but also sipping on his neck, Qi Hou seemed to have some kind of dream, he didn't wake up, his mouth There are still words in it.
Because he was biting Wu Jiu's neck, he was whispering in Wu Jiu's ear, and Wu Jiu could hear it clearly.
Qi Hou actually said: "This fried chicken leg... so tender, so fresh and delicious..."
Wu Jiao was suddenly so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he was bitten awake just after dawn, he should have slept a little longer, and he had nothing to do today, so he was bitten awake by Xiao Bai!
Wu Jiao was so angry that he pushed Qihou hard, and Qihou woke up after being pushed, thinking that something happened, so he sat up quickly, because he was just dreaming about eating chicken legs, and he still didn't wake up after sitting up. He even said: "The lonely chicken leg... hey!"
As he said, Wu Jiu had already rolled up the quilt and threw it head-on. Fortunately, Qi Hou reacted quickly and caught the thrown quilt, and then he woke up. He said with a smile, "Second brother, you are doing well." Morning."
Wu Jiao touched his neck, fortunately there was no bleeding, but he could feel the teeth marks, and gave him a hard look, Qihou sat on the couch with a strange expression at all for no reason at all.
Today Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi are all fine, just waiting for the emperor to summon everyone to the palace for a court meeting, so they are very free, so they rest in the house.
After the two had lunch, they were about to go out for a walk, but Ziqing said at this moment: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, the servants from Duke Quwo are here."
Wu Jiu thought he had a problem with his ears, Mr. Qu Wo?Isn't that weird?
During the alliance before, Gui Zhu and his son Peng Sheng kidnapped Wu Jiu, so there was a grudge against him, and Gui Zhu was eunuched by Wu Jiu at that time, Gui Zhu's superiors are very disgraceful, they probably wouldn't take the initiative to come to see Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu let the servant of Lord Qu Wo come in, and the servant handed Wu Jiu an invitation card very attentively. Wu Jiu opened it and saw that he was indeed inviting them to a banquet. Gui Zhu arranged a banquet and wanted to invite Wu Jiuhe Qi Hou went over.
Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi raised his eyebrows, and Wu Jiu said to the follower, "Go back and reply to Duke Quwo, and say that Duke Quwo has kindly invited you, and the widow and Duke Qi will definitely attend the banquet."
The servant was very happy, thanked him quickly, and left. Qi Hou took the invitation and said, "This is so weird, I don't know what it is."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "The servant is so considerate. If you think he can make a name for himself, he must be asking for something. I'm afraid it's because Gui Zhu ran into trouble trying to bribe the emperor, so he came to us."
Qi Hou smiled and said, "Second brother, you must be thinking of some bad idea?"
Wu Jiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm thinking, why don't you slaughter the big fat sheep that came to your door? Would it be a scam?"
Qihou smiled helplessly, and said, "It's fine if the second brother meets."
The banquet was tonight, and Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi planned to go to the banquet. After dusk, the two left the house and went to the house where Duke Quwo was staying.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Duke Quwo and Guizhu stood there to greet him, and he smiled very attentively and said to Wu Jiu and Qihou, "The King of Chu, Duke Qi, is here, and Guizhu is here to welcome you, please hurry up! Please!" !"
Gui Zhu personally invited them in, his attitude was extremely hospitable, when Wu Jiu walked in, he saw little Chong'er and boy Tui also there.
Little Chong'er stood in the banquet hall, saluted Wu Jiu in a proper manner, and said, "Chong'er pays homage to King Chu and Duke Qi."
When Wu Jiao saw these two little guys, he immediately felt a lot better. He wanted to pinch his chubby cheeks, but for the sake of the majesty of King Chu, he decided to give up.
Gui Zhu personally invited Wu Jiu and Marquis of Qi to the table, and poured wine for Wu Jiu and Marquis of Qi with a smile on his face, saying: "Today Gui Zhu is able to invite the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi to the banquet. Drink to your heart's content, we won't go home until we're drunk!"
Gui Zhu kept smiling on his face, and felt that his face was about to lose its elasticity. After Wu Jiu and Qi Hou drank two glasses of wine, he smiled and said: "It's like this, my state of Jin and the state of Chu and Qi The relationship between you and me has always been close, but in my country of Jin, there are many people who have not been very safe, making my country of Jin a mess, so I have an unfeeling request, I want to ask the king of Chu and the Duke of Qi to help me out. busy."
Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi with a smile, and it was exactly as he said. Speaking of the smoky atmosphere in Jin, it was not because Yicheng and Quwo had been fighting each other. It is the miasma.
Wu Jiu didn't speak, and Gui Zhu hurriedly said: "Now the Son of Heaven favors and trusts the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi. This is something that all the officials know. The King of Chu and the Duke of Qi are loyal, wise and decisive. The Son of Heaven favors and trusts the princes. It is really true." Make Gui Zhu admire, therefore... therefore... Gui Zhu would like to ask the King of Chu and Duke Qi to speak a few words of kindness for Gui Zhu in front of the emperor... Regarding the matter of canonization, if this happens..."
When he reached this point, he heard a "Kara" sound. Little Chong'er was sitting next to him and was having a meal. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched the small dagger on the table to the ground, and there was a "Kara" sound. Because there was only one person in the banquet hall, Gui Zhu, who spoke in a very articulate manner, so the sound of falling to the ground was quite crisp.
Gui Zhu's words were interrupted in an instant, and Gui Zhu didn't know what to say. After all, what he was facing was not an ally, but an enemy.
Gui Zhu glared at him immediately, grabbed the little Chong'er next to him, and acted very rudely, the little Chong'er was so thick-headed, he was shocked, he was grabbed by the hair, and he was dragged out of the banquet, " Boom!" Throwing it on the ground with a loud sound, everyone turned on their backs and almost bumped into the case next to them.
Gui Zhu's movements were very rude, like his father, he might have a slightly violent tendency, Xiao Chong'er fell to the ground, although he didn't make a sound, but Xiao Baozi's face was wrinkled together, it must have been very painful.
Gui Zhu smashed a jug directly at him with his hands, and the kid pushed him when he saw Duke Quwo beating someone, so he ran over in fright, with a sound of "Boom!!!", the jug hit the kid's back directly. It was very loud, and the boy pushed and fell to the ground with a "boom!"
Little Chong'er was startled, and ran up quickly to help the boy to push, but Que Zhu got angry and said: "You useless bastard, you can't even hold a small dagger. What do you need your hands for? Why don't you just chop it off?" It's gone!"
As he spoke, he was about to rush over to grab Xiao Chong'er's hand. Although the kid was small, he quickly stopped him. Tears welled up in his big eyes, and he whimpered and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare the official paper. Paper was fined yesterday and today, and he didn't have a good time, so if he doesn't have the strength, he can't hold the dagger, please forgive me, Gong Zhi!"
Gui Zhu was about to slap Kid Tui away with a slap, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou frowned at the same time, it turned out that although Qi Hou made a move to rescue Xiao Chong Er and Kid Tui yesterday, but Gui Zhu held a grudge and couldn't throw face at them, So secretly he didn't let little Chong'er eat.
It was the same before, as long as Xiao Chonger made a little mistake, he would be punished and not allowed to eat. Sometimes it was a day, sometimes it was two days. Go hard, and fainted directly.
After coming back yesterday, little Chong'er hadn't eaten, so the kid pushed him to share his own food, but the kid was a child, so there was so little food, and there wasn't enough to eat. Trembling, he didn't hold the small dagger just now, and the small spoon fell to the ground, causing Guizhu to be furious.
When Qihou saw this scene, he couldn't sit still immediately, he stood up and said, "Mr. Quwo, the child is still so young. Isn't it appropriate for you to beat me like this?"
Gui Zhu has a tendency to abuse, and once he opens the gate, he can't close it. Besides, Gui Zhu has long been an eunuch. What happened several years ago, it is naturally impossible to have children. Little Chong'er is not Gui Zhu's own. , In fact, he found a random child to adopt, otherwise Duke Quwo would have no successors, it would be too ugly to say, because he is not his own, so there is no burden in the fight, and Gui Zhu will naturally not show mercy.
Not only Qi Hou couldn't stand it anymore, Wu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, just now "Boom!" The wine jug hit the boy's push, I don't know what happened to the boy's back, with such great strength, he must have been smashed.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "Mr. Quwo, I thought about it just now, just like you said, our Chu State and your Jin State have always been on good terms, and I can't bear to see Jin State being in a mess all the time." , so...it's not a problem to say a few words to the emperor, it's just..."
As he spoke, he hesitated a little, and brushed off his robe. Gui Zhu was still furious just now, when Wu Jiu mentioned this matter, he immediately changed the subject, and quickly said: "Just what? Nothing is a problem! Whatever the king of Chu wants, you just have to ask, as long as we have what Jin has!"
Wu Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Yes, of course there is..."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on little Chong'er, who pushed him against the crying boy who was out of breath, and said, "Gold, silver, treasures, BMWs and beautiful jade are all available in the state of Chu, so I don't want such vulgar things." But since the widow has helped Duke Quwo, it is natural to ask for some benefits, you can rest assured, and the widow can also feel at ease, right?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Gui Zhu quickly responded, "That's the truth!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "In this case, the widow wants a hostage..."
As he spoke, he paused, raised his finger, pointed at Little Chong'er, and said, "Just him, come to our state of Chu and be your hostage in your state of Jin. If there is any misfortune between our two countries, the widow will be considered It's rich, isn't it?"
When Gui Zhu heard this, he rolled his eyes involuntarily, as if he had earned money, and immediately said: "Okay! I will hand over the child to the king of Chu as a hostage. The conditions of the king of Chu are very reasonable and not excessive at all! "
Guizhu felt that he had made a profit. After all, little Chonger was not his own. Even if Chonger was sent as a hostage, there would be no loss. What's the point without blinking your eyes?On the contrary, a lot of gold, silver and jewels were saved, which was naturally agreed, very much agreed.
Unbeknownst to everyone, what Wu Jiu wants is not a proton, but the famous Duke Wen of Jin in the future. If he can push Chong'er to the throne of Jin State, then Chu State will be able to control the land in the north by then.
Just think about it, Chu State dominates in the south, and the small countries in the south are almost ups and downs. Qi State is fighting for hegemony in the East, and all the countries in the East surrender to Qi State, while Qin State dominates in the West. The king of Qin State is It was cultivated by Wu Jiu. If Wu Jiu pushes Chong'er to the throne of Marquis of Jin, there will be no place in the south, east, west or north that is not Chu.
Gui Zhu didn't know what kind of character Chong'er was, after all, Chong'er was too young now, and still looked like a tiger and a tiger, without any majesty at all.
Gui Zhu thought he had made a lot of money, so he immediately agreed, wishing he could kowtow to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Okay, this matter is settled today, the hostages can go directly with the widow, and tomorrow the widow will enter the palace and talk to the emperor about the affairs of the state of Jin."
"Good good!"
Gui Zhu hurriedly pushed Xiao Chong'er a few times, and Xiao Chong'er pulled Xiao Chong'er to push. Although Wu Jiao only wanted Xiao Chong'er as a hostage, Xiao Zitui was a boy, not even a person at all, but a slave in fact, so Xiao Chong'er pulled the boy Pushing it over, Gui Zhu didn't even blink his eyelids.
As soon as little Chong'er and the boy pushed over, Wu Jiu hurriedly picked up the boy and pushed, the boy's back hurt after pushing, and he lay in Wu Jiao's arms, groaning, but he didn't dare to cry for fear of offending Que Zhu.
Since Wu Jiu had already got the hostage, there was no need to waste words with Gui, so he hurriedly pushed the boy in his arms, letting Xiao Chong'er follow, and everyone walked out of the banquet hall to the place where Chu was staying.
Marquis Qi led Xiao Chong'er, followed Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, Mr. Quwo is insidious and cunning. If you agree with him to take the position now, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble in the future."
Wu Jiu naturally knew that Gui Zhu was not a good person, but it was a historical trend that Qu Wo was in control of the state of Jin. Wu Jiu was someone who had read history, so he felt that this trend should not be broken by himself, so he simply thought of other ways. good.
But naturally Wu Jiu couldn't tell Qi Hou what the historical trend was, so he just smiled and said, "What's so scary about this? How can the deceitful people find their way out of the sky? Besides, little Chong'er is young, prudent and mature, It will become a great tool in the future, and the widow will get a talent again, this is the most important thing."
When Wu Jiu said this, Marquis Qi actually agreed. After all, Marquis Qi knew that Chong Er was a talent, and it was rare. If not, Marquis Qi would not have betrothed his daughter to Chong Er.
Wu Jiu hugged the kid to push, and hurried into the house, asking Tang Wu to show the kid a look.
The boy lay on the couch, Tang Wu unbuttoned his clothes, and saw that the boy was white and tender, with a bluish-purple mark on his tofu-like back. Congestion, looks very scary.
The boy pushed that he couldn't see it, he just felt the pain, when Xiao Chong'er saw it, he frowned.
It wasn't just him frowning, everyone present was frowning. Such a small child was so cruel that he beat him severely. Tang Wu hurriedly opened the medicine box, took out the medicine, and rubbed it on the boy's wound. Because it hurts too much, a little It hurts to touch, the boy whimpered and cried, his voice was like that of a kitten, so Tang Wu didn't dare to apply medicine to him.
At this time, little Chonger climbed up on the couch, squatted beside the kid, and said, "A man can't cry, I will help you blow it off and it won't hurt."
As Xiao Chong'er spoke, he puffed out his mouth and blew air on the wound pushed by the kid.
Kid Tui hurriedly held back his tears, whimpering, looking even more pitiful, little Chonger took out a small handkerchief, wiped his tears for Kid Tui, and said: "You look so ugly when you cry, I don't even recognize you!" Out."
The boy Tui really stopped crying and asked Tang Wu to give him medicine. Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, because he knew the children hadn't eaten, so he quickly asked Ziqing to get some hot food. Hot meals and hot dishes arrived promptly.
Little Chong'er and Kid Tui gobbled it up, which was even more exaggerated than Qihou's eating, especially Little Chong'er, who looked like a little tiger, Xili Hulu wanted to catch it, so he ate up all the food.
After he finished eating, his face was covered with rice grains, and the kid also finished eating, but only half of it. Little Chonger looked at the rice in his bowl with his eyes fixed on it, but said in his mouth, "I can't even eat this, you It's too wasteful, forget it, I will help you eat!"
Little Chong'er said, holding the bowl, Siri Hulu began to sweep again, it would be like a little bad wolf.
The kid wiped his pink mouth, and said very sincerely, "Thank you, Gongzhi."
Little Chong'er's mouth was full of food, and he muttered, "It doesn't seem like...it doesn't seem to..."
Wu Jiu felt that he had picked up two little treasures, one was cuter than the other, but little Chonger's appetite... seemed a bit big, he wondered if he, the king of Chu, would raise a Qihou and another little Chonger. bankruptcy?
Little Chong'er and Kid Tui followed Wu Jiao, and slept at Wu Jiao's place that night. Early the next morning, Wu Jiao went into the palace, planning to talk to Ji Lang about Qu Wo.
Ji Lang was happy for the past two days. She drank alcohol the first day, because she didn't drink much, so she didn't have a hangover. She drank some wine yesterday, and she got a hangover if she didn't pay attention. This morning, she had a terrible headache. Ji Lang took a look, there was nothing wrong with it, just bear with it.
At this moment, Crown Prince Zheng was in the small bedroom, massaging Ji Lang's head.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou arrived at the small dormitory, and were soon led in by the eunuch. Ji Lang was lying on the soft couch, her face still looking good, but she was a little hungover and having a headache. Seeing Wu Jiu and Qi Hou coming, she hurriedly sat down stand up.
Prince Zheng helped him up and said, "Father, be careful."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "Why did you two enter the palace today?"
Wu Jiu said, "It's because of Duke Quwo."
Ji Lang was taken aback and said, "Mr. Quwo?"
Everyone knew about the disagreement between Wu Jiu and Duke Quwo, so Ji Lang was a little surprised when Wu Jiao said that he came here for Duke Quwo's affairs.
Ji Lang then smiled and said, "I know, the king of Chu must have come to persuade me not to confer Duke Quwo."
Wu Jiu said, "Son of Heaven, it's just the opposite."
Ji Lang was taken aback again, and said, "The King of Chu and Duke Qi are here to speak well of Duke Quwo?"
No wonder Ji Lang was so surprised, because Marquis Qi didn't expect that one day he would speak good words for Duke Quwo.
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Exactly."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "The sun must be coming out from the west today, isn't it?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Perhaps it is, let's not hide it from the emperor, Jiu and Duke Qi's intention to visit this time is really to say good things for Duke Qu Wo."
Ji Lang said, "I don't know why, the King of Chu and Duke Qi have such thoughts?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "To tell the truth, it is because of the benefit of Duke Quwo."
He was so straightforward, Ji Lang couldn't say anything, Wu Jiu said: "Son of Heaven, think about it, the trend of Jin is like this now, and Yicheng has existed in name only, even if you don't canonize Duke Quwo as Marquis of Jin, Quwo The Duke is still the ruler of the Jin Kingdom, so whether the Son of Heaven canonize or not, there is no loss, and besides..."
Wu Jiu also said: "Nowadays Luoshi has just encountered a war, and it is time to recuperate. The people are complaining because of the war, and Wei Hou and Gerber have just stirred up public opinion. One more supporter is better than one more troublemaker. The people are much stronger, and the emperor can take advantage of the fire to rob and slam the money of Duke Quwo, and then use the money to appease and subsidize the soldiers who were injured in the battle against Yiqu, and then use the money to transfer to the hands of the people. The people are easy to be satisfied, as long as they have some small favors, they will support the emperor, why not do such a good thing that can achieve multiple goals at one stroke?"
Ji Lang listened, laughed, and said: "I heard that the king of Chu had a small restaurant with the state of Qi before he came to Chu, and the business was doing well. When we saw it today, he was really careful and careful, and no profit could escape the eyes of the king of Chu." Woolen cloth."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven is absurd. After all, there is profit and nothing to lose. Wouldn't it be too stupid to not forget to keep it in your pocket?"
Ji Lang said with a smile: "Well said, what you said is right! Then according to what the king of Chu said, when the court discusses, let's canonize Duke Quwo together... The king of Chu said so many good things for Duke Quwo , don’t forget to ask for more benefits.”
Wu Jiu nodded, smiled meaningfully, and said, "The benefits have already caused Duke Quwo to suffer endlessly."
The court meeting to deal with Marquis Wei and Gerber was convened soon, because Marquis Wei is located in the north and is one of the gateways to fight against the Di people, so Ji Lang felt that it is really unfair to revoke the state of Wei and merge it into other countries. It is unrealistic, so Weihou can only be dealt with, and Weihou's son, son Chi, succeeds to the throne, and Weiguo is ordered to review himself, and Xuan Jiang is executed at the same time.
Ge Bo is a small country, so naturally there is no family to speak of. It happened that Ji Lang wanted to consolidate Luo Shi's power and majesty, so he directly revoked Ge State and merged Ge State into Zhou State's direct jurisdiction.
As for Wen Guo, Mr. Wen Guo had already been sent back to Wen Guo after receiving the palace sentence, because Wen Guo was right next to him, and Su Zi, the king of Wen Guo, had already rushed to Luoshi overnight, and hurriedly came to apologize in person.
Ji Lang was still in court discussion and proposed the canonization of Duke Quwo. To be honest, Quwo did not contribute at all in this battle against the Yiqu people, so there was no excuse for canonization.
Ji Lang still racked his brains to come up with the reason for the canonization. The reason was that when the Xirong people attacked the Luo division, Duke Quwo was able to strictly guard the northern position and prevented the Di people from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Hou.
This reason is very far-fetched, everyone thought it was weird when they heard it, but when Wu Jiao and Qihou stood up and agreed, everyone immediately understood that no matter how weird it sounds, they must be unified, otherwise they will be in trouble with the king of Chu and the overlord , wouldn't that be a bad day?
In this way, Quwo Gong Guizhu became the Marquis of Jin Guizhu, and he accepted the canonization very smoothly. Guizhu took out all the treasures of the Jin Kingdom and gave them to Ji Lang. It can be said that he was bleeding heavily.
After this battle, the Luo division is very empty and needs to recuperate for at least three years. After all, a bunch of males sign up to join the army, the food production will decrease, the food will decrease, and the residents will move out, which will lead to economic instability. In a downturn, a series of problems will follow.
However, with the money bribed by the state of Jin, the state of Zhou survived in one fell swoop. It didn't need to rest for three years, and he directly asked for food, which solved the problem of insufficient food, and the remaining money was more than enough.
Master Luo's affairs explained
Prince Zheng received the seal letter, and after the officials paid homage, Ji Lang said: "Everyone has worked hard for today's affairs. Please go back to the post house to rest first. The widow will hold a court meeting in another day. Please come and discuss with the princes and officials." The matter of Marquis Gerber Wei will still depend on you all."
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands, asking Ji Lang and the crown prince to retreat from the altar first, and then exited the hall, ready to go back.
Gui Zhu wiped the cold sweat off his brow. Fortunately, his purpose this time was to promote himself to the Marquis of Jin, so he didn't take this muddy water trip. The public can't keep it.
Everyone withdrew, and soon went back in a mighty manner. Everyone was greeting each other along the way. It was good to go back. We had a lot of talk, and we all got together, talking and walking back. Gerber was so overreaching that he eventually turned into a public embarrassment, and everyone naturally wanted to talk and laugh.
When the large army returned to Luoshi City, everyone went directly to the post house. Ji Lang and Crown Prince Zheng were going back to the palace.
When the envoys of the princes arrived at the gate of the posthouse, they saw many forbidden soldiers still surrounding the posthouse. Everyone didn't know what was going on at first, but after a closer look, it turned out that the forbidden army was arresting people from Wei and Ge. stand up.
There was a yelling voice from inside, a woman's voice was very sharp, shouting: "Let go of me!! Let me go!! I am the daughter of Qi! I am the daughter of Qi! You can't Catch me! Let go of me!!"
Just when the voice came to the gate of the post house, there were princes and envoys on the three floors outside, and the outside three floors were full of princes and envoys. Stretching their necks and looking in, they saw several imperial guards grabbing Xuan Jiang and dragging her out. Jiang wailed all the way, and finally hugged a big tree at the door, but refused to leave.
When the princes looked inside, they all burst into laughter. Xuan Jiang's face was very embarrassed when he heard the laughter, but he saw Qihou and Wu Jiao in the crowd, and quickly shouted: "Brother! Brother! Save me! Save me!"
As soon as Xuan Jiang let go, he was dragged by the imperial guards and walked out. When he reached the side of the crowd, the crowd dispersed automatically, but Xuan Jiang suddenly broke free from the imperial guards and rushed towards the crowd.
Xuan Jiang rushed towards Qi Hou, how fast Qi Hou reacted, he quickly put his arms around Wu Jiu's waist, flashed suddenly, and flashed past, Xuan Jiang rushed to nothing, fell to the ground suddenly, He fell and ate shit, and almost broke his front teeth. He quickly covered his mouth and gnawed on the ground, as if blood had come out of it.
The soldiers rushed over, but Xuan Jiang climbed up, kicked back and shouted: "Don't touch me! Don't touch me! I don't know, I don't know at all!! I am a daughter of Qi, let go! I!"
Everyone looked at Xuan Jiang as if they were watching the excitement, Xuan Jiang wanted to pounce on Marquis Qi many times, but Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Mother of the Kingdom of Wei, you keep saying that it has nothing to do with you, you don't know, how did the widow hear that?" The reason why Wei Guo and Ge Guo can cooperate is because you worked hard to earn money from your couch?"
When he said this, all the princes standing at the door burst into laughter. Xuan Jiang looked pale, stared at Wu Jiu, and said, "You! You are talking nonsense!!"
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Why are you talking nonsense? All the daughters of the country of Ge know it. I believe it is not a secret in the country of Ge. Why don't you ask the followers of the country of Ge? Oh, I really feel sorry for the parents of the world. In order to support the son who can’t stand on the wall, Mother of the State of Wei, you really sacrificed your life for righteousness, and you sacrificed your life for the sake of the State of Wei, but the Marquis of Wei still made a mess.”
Xuan Jiangqi's teeth were chattering, the upper teeth hit the lower teeth, and every tooth was about to be shattered, and suddenly violently rushed towards Wu Jiao, but even if Xuan Jiang became violent, she couldn't do it at that speed , Seeing that she was about to rush over, there was no need for Qi Hou to drag Wu Jiu, the little Chong Er next to him suddenly stretched out his little meaty leg...
"Oh!!"
"Bam—"
Everyone saw that Xuan Jiang fell to the ground suddenly, and another dog ate shit. This time his face was scratched, and he quickly covered his face. The soldiers next to him immediately rushed up and grabbed Xuan Jiang. However, Xuan Jiang wanted to yell, but she had already been erected by the soldiers. No matter how she kicked or yelled, she just didn't stop, and took Xuan Jiang away quickly, ready to return to the palace to return to her command.
Little Chong'er suddenly tripped over Xuan Jiang, and the boy next to him pushed him nervously and said, "Gong Zhi, your legs don't look good, do they?"
Little Chong'er said nonchalantly, "Naturally nothing happened."
Wei Guo couldn't support the wall, the princes watched Xuan Jiang being taken away, they laughed and talked about it, and entered the post house one after another, Qi Hou pestered Wu Jiao to make fried chicken legs for him to eat, Wu Jiao had no choice but to bring Qi Hou also entered the post house and went straight to the dining room to prepare fried chicken legs.
Duke Quwo went into the posthouse, and after a while, he came out again, ordered his horses to be prepared, and went directly to the palace.
Ji Lang and Crown Prince Zheng returned to the palace. Ji Lang is in a very good mood today, which is naturally a good thing, because not to mention the eradication of the rebels in Wei and Ge, he also canonized the crown prince, fulfilling Ji Lang's wish. Naturally happy.
After Ji Lang went back to the dorm, he asked someone to set up a banquet to have a few drinks with Crown Prince Zheng. Seeing that Ji Lang was so happy, Prince Zheng said, "Father, don't drink a few cups. Afterwards, we have to deal with the affairs of the Kingdom of Wei and the Kingdom of Ge." , don't drink to get a hangover and headache."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "I see, Zheng Er has grown up, and she loves to worry so much."
Ji Lang filled himself with wine, poured another glass for Crown Prince Zheng, and said, "Zheng Er, now that you are the crown prince, for such a big matter, you should drink two glasses with Weifu."
Prince Zheng had no choice but raised his wine glass and said, "Congratulations, father, for eradicating the traitors."
Ji Lang also raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Zheng Er for being crowned prince."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. Because he drank too fast, the clear wine slid down the corner of Ji Lang's mouth, and got into the collar of Ji Lang's clothes along his neck, making him cumbersome. His court robes were dyed darker.
Ji Lang had already drank several cups in a row, his face flushed, his eyes were squinted, and he was smiling. Prince Zheng was holding the cup and hadn't drunk yet, so he was startled, and his heart beat wildly for no reason.
Seeing that he didn't drink, Ji Lang asked suspiciously, "Zheng Er, what's wrong?"
Only then did Crown Prince Zheng regain his senses, and suddenly felt a chill on his back, and quickly said, "No...it's nothing."
Ji Lang asked in surprise, "Is it because you are too tired today?"
Prince Zheng coughed and said, "Maybe."
Ji Lang hurriedly said, "Then go and rest quickly."
Prince Zheng said: "If the son stays with the father again, once the son leaves, the father must have drunk too much again."
Ji Lang smiled, and drank a few more glasses with Crown Prince Zheng. Ji Lang had a serious illness before, and now it is not appropriate to drink more alcohol. She seems to be getting drunk faster than before. After a few drinks, she passed out quickly because she was too happy. .
Crown Prince Zheng helped Ji Lang into the inner hall of the small dormitory, put him on the couch, covered him with a quilt, and it was only after sunset, although it was not time to go to bed, but Crown Prince Zheng saw that Ji Lang was faintly tired, but he still didn't feel tired. Wake him up and just let him fall asleep.
Crown Prince Zheng sat on the edge of the couch, looking at Ji Lang who was dreaming soundly, and sat there for a long time in a daze. Ji Lang slept soundly, turned over, hugged the quilt and murmured softly: "Hmm...Zheng Er... ..."
Crown Prince Zheng was startled, almost jumped up by the sound, hurriedly walked out, and quickly left the inner hall, as soon as he went out, he happened to meet the oncoming eunuch.
The eunuch almost bumped into Prince Zheng who was walking out in a hurry, so he backed up a few steps in fright, bowed quickly, and said, "Prince, Duke Quwo is out to see the Son of Heaven."
Prince Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Quwo?"
The eunuch responded, "That's right, Duke Quwo is asking to see you."
Prince Zheng frowned, and said: "Go back to Duke Quwo, the emperor has already fallen asleep, if there is something to do, we can go to the palace to discuss it in detail."
The eunuch hurriedly went out to respond, but Duke Quwo stood outside the door for a long time, but the eunuch came out and said in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, Duke Quwo, the emperor is already asleep, and the prince said, what's the matter, please change it." Let’s talk about it in a day.”
When I heard it, it was so early in the sky, why did I go to sleep?He didn't know that Ji Lang was happy today, and drank a lot of wine as soon as he came back. It sounded like Ji Lang was prevaricating himself and didn't want to see him.
The purpose of this trip is naturally to be promoted to the Marquis of Jin. Today's Jin Kingdom is divided into the Yicheng faction in the capital city. The Yicheng faction is the legitimate monarch of Jin, and the other faction is the Quwo faction. It is reasonable to say that it is a rebellion, it cannot be regarded as a prince at all, it is not recognized, but it can't stand it. Over the years, the Quwo faction has been more powerful. Yicheng established the Jinhou to kill the Jinhou, and Yicheng established the prince to kill the prince. Now Quwo's forces have spread all over Although Yicheng was very dissatisfied with the entire Jin Kingdom, and the scholar-bureaucrats were also very dissatisfied, they did not dare to establish the Marquis of Jin anymore.
Gui Zhu could already enter Yicheng, but he was afraid that the scholar-bureaucrats in Yicheng would object, so he did not dare to enter rashly. He wanted to bribe the emperor to let Ji Lang formally canonize him. Can't say anything.
Everyone knows what the purpose of Guizhu's visit this time is, and Guizhu feels that the emperor must know it too. Now that the son "shirks" not seeing him, Guizhu thinks too much, thinking that the emperor does not want to canonize himself, and suddenly feels a little anxious.
Gui Zhu couldn't see Ji Lang, so he had to leave the palace in a panic. After going back, he thought about it, and felt that this was not the way to go. He will counterattack Quwo, and then he will waste his energy, and the throne of Marquis Jin will be gone.
Gui Zhu was so anxious that he just stepped into the posthouse when he heard laughter. Wu Jiu and Qi Hou just came out of the dining room. Qi Hou himself was carrying a plate with several fried chicken legs, which were crispy and crispy. It smells so fragrant.
Marquis Qi followed Wu Jiu with a plate at the same pace, and the two passed by talking and laughing.
When Gui Zhu saw Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi, he suddenly came to pay attention. Now that the emperor favors Qi State and has a close relationship with Chu State, this is something that a blind person can see. If the emperor does not see him, why not bribe Wu first? To reconcile with Marquis Qi?
But Gui Zhu has some doubts, after all, he is an eunuch, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou both know, what should they do if those two people make things difficult for him?
There is really no way to do it. Compared with making things difficult, if you can't be canonized as Marquis of Jin, you will regret it for life.
Thinking of this, Gui Zhu made up his mind, hurried back to the house, got someone to write down the invitation card, and sent it to King Chu and Marquis Qi tomorrow, inviting them to the banquet.
Today was also tired, Qi Hou ate big chicken drumsticks and was not satisfied, he waited for Wu Jiao to take a bath, after taking a hot bath, the two of them went to bed and rested.
Wu Jiao didn't have any strange live broadcast "nightmare" today, because he took a hot bath before going to bed, which was very refreshing, so he slept very sweetly and had no dreams all night, but when he slept until dawn, Wu Jiao was stunned Woke up with pain!
Wu Jiao let out a painful "hiss...", opened his eyes, and saw Qi Hou hugging him tightly, not only that, but also sipping on his neck, Qi Hou seemed to have some kind of dream, he didn't wake up, his mouth There are still words in it.
Because he was biting Wu Jiu's neck, he was whispering in Wu Jiu's ear, and Wu Jiu could hear it clearly.
Qi Hou actually said: "This fried chicken leg... so tender, so fresh and delicious..."
Wu Jiao was suddenly so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he was bitten awake just after dawn, he should have slept a little longer, and he had nothing to do today, so he was bitten awake by Xiao Bai!
Wu Jiao was so angry that he pushed Qihou hard, and Qihou woke up after being pushed, thinking that something happened, so he sat up quickly, because he was just dreaming about eating chicken legs, and he still didn't wake up after sitting up. He even said: "The lonely chicken leg... hey!"
As he said, Wu Jiu had already rolled up the quilt and threw it head-on. Fortunately, Qi Hou reacted quickly and caught the thrown quilt, and then he woke up. He said with a smile, "Second brother, you are doing well." Morning."
Wu Jiao touched his neck, fortunately there was no bleeding, but he could feel the teeth marks, and gave him a hard look, Qihou sat on the couch with a strange expression at all for no reason at all.
Today Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi are all fine, just waiting for the emperor to summon everyone to the palace for a court meeting, so they are very free, so they rest in the house.
After the two had lunch, they were about to go out for a walk, but Ziqing said at this moment: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, the servants from Duke Quwo are here."
Wu Jiu thought he had a problem with his ears, Mr. Qu Wo?Isn't that weird?
During the alliance before, Gui Zhu and his son Peng Sheng kidnapped Wu Jiu, so there was a grudge against him, and Gui Zhu was eunuched by Wu Jiu at that time, Gui Zhu's superiors are very disgraceful, they probably wouldn't take the initiative to come to see Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu let the servant of Lord Qu Wo come in, and the servant handed Wu Jiu an invitation card very attentively. Wu Jiu opened it and saw that he was indeed inviting them to a banquet. Gui Zhu arranged a banquet and wanted to invite Wu Jiuhe Qi Hou went over.
Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi raised his eyebrows, and Wu Jiu said to the follower, "Go back and reply to Duke Quwo, and say that Duke Quwo has kindly invited you, and the widow and Duke Qi will definitely attend the banquet."
The servant was very happy, thanked him quickly, and left. Qi Hou took the invitation and said, "This is so weird, I don't know what it is."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "The servant is so considerate. If you think he can make a name for himself, he must be asking for something. I'm afraid it's because Gui Zhu ran into trouble trying to bribe the emperor, so he came to us."
Qi Hou smiled and said, "Second brother, you must be thinking of some bad idea?"
Wu Jiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm thinking, why don't you slaughter the big fat sheep that came to your door? Would it be a scam?"
Qihou smiled helplessly, and said, "It's fine if the second brother meets."
The banquet was tonight, and Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi planned to go to the banquet. After dusk, the two left the house and went to the house where Duke Quwo was staying.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Duke Quwo and Guizhu stood there to greet him, and he smiled very attentively and said to Wu Jiu and Qihou, "The King of Chu, Duke Qi, is here, and Guizhu is here to welcome you, please hurry up! Please!" !"
Gui Zhu personally invited them in, his attitude was extremely hospitable, when Wu Jiu walked in, he saw little Chong'er and boy Tui also there.
Little Chong'er stood in the banquet hall, saluted Wu Jiu in a proper manner, and said, "Chong'er pays homage to King Chu and Duke Qi."
When Wu Jiao saw these two little guys, he immediately felt a lot better. He wanted to pinch his chubby cheeks, but for the sake of the majesty of King Chu, he decided to give up.
Gui Zhu personally invited Wu Jiu and Marquis of Qi to the table, and poured wine for Wu Jiu and Marquis of Qi with a smile on his face, saying: "Today Gui Zhu is able to invite the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi to the banquet. Drink to your heart's content, we won't go home until we're drunk!"
Gui Zhu kept smiling on his face, and felt that his face was about to lose its elasticity. After Wu Jiu and Qi Hou drank two glasses of wine, he smiled and said: "It's like this, my state of Jin and the state of Chu and Qi The relationship between you and me has always been close, but in my country of Jin, there are many people who have not been very safe, making my country of Jin a mess, so I have an unfeeling request, I want to ask the king of Chu and the Duke of Qi to help me out. busy."
Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi with a smile, and it was exactly as he said. Speaking of the smoky atmosphere in Jin, it was not because Yicheng and Quwo had been fighting each other. It is the miasma.
Wu Jiu didn't speak, and Gui Zhu hurriedly said: "Now the Son of Heaven favors and trusts the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi. This is something that all the officials know. The King of Chu and the Duke of Qi are loyal, wise and decisive. The Son of Heaven favors and trusts the princes. It is really true." Make Gui Zhu admire, therefore... therefore... Gui Zhu would like to ask the King of Chu and Duke Qi to speak a few words of kindness for Gui Zhu in front of the emperor... Regarding the matter of canonization, if this happens..."
When he reached this point, he heard a "Kara" sound. Little Chong'er was sitting next to him and was having a meal. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched the small dagger on the table to the ground, and there was a "Kara" sound. Because there was only one person in the banquet hall, Gui Zhu, who spoke in a very articulate manner, so the sound of falling to the ground was quite crisp.
Gui Zhu's words were interrupted in an instant, and Gui Zhu didn't know what to say. After all, what he was facing was not an ally, but an enemy.
Gui Zhu glared at him immediately, grabbed the little Chong'er next to him, and acted very rudely, the little Chong'er was so thick-headed, he was shocked, he was grabbed by the hair, and he was dragged out of the banquet, " Boom!" Throwing it on the ground with a loud sound, everyone turned on their backs and almost bumped into the case next to them.
Gui Zhu's movements were very rude, like his father, he might have a slightly violent tendency, Xiao Chong'er fell to the ground, although he didn't make a sound, but Xiao Baozi's face was wrinkled together, it must have been very painful.
Gui Zhu smashed a jug directly at him with his hands, and the kid pushed him when he saw Duke Quwo beating someone, so he ran over in fright, with a sound of "Boom!!!", the jug hit the kid's back directly. It was very loud, and the boy pushed and fell to the ground with a "boom!"
Little Chong'er was startled, and ran up quickly to help the boy to push, but Que Zhu got angry and said: "You useless bastard, you can't even hold a small dagger. What do you need your hands for? Why don't you just chop it off?" It's gone!"
As he spoke, he was about to rush over to grab Xiao Chong'er's hand. Although the kid was small, he quickly stopped him. Tears welled up in his big eyes, and he whimpered and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare the official paper. Paper was fined yesterday and today, and he didn't have a good time, so if he doesn't have the strength, he can't hold the dagger, please forgive me, Gong Zhi!"
Gui Zhu was about to slap Kid Tui away with a slap, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou frowned at the same time, it turned out that although Qi Hou made a move to rescue Xiao Chong Er and Kid Tui yesterday, but Gui Zhu held a grudge and couldn't throw face at them, So secretly he didn't let little Chong'er eat.
It was the same before, as long as Xiao Chonger made a little mistake, he would be punished and not allowed to eat. Sometimes it was a day, sometimes it was two days. Go hard, and fainted directly.
After coming back yesterday, little Chong'er hadn't eaten, so the kid pushed him to share his own food, but the kid was a child, so there was so little food, and there wasn't enough to eat. Trembling, he didn't hold the small dagger just now, and the small spoon fell to the ground, causing Guizhu to be furious.
When Qihou saw this scene, he couldn't sit still immediately, he stood up and said, "Mr. Quwo, the child is still so young. Isn't it appropriate for you to beat me like this?"
Gui Zhu has a tendency to abuse, and once he opens the gate, he can't close it. Besides, Gui Zhu has long been an eunuch. What happened several years ago, it is naturally impossible to have children. Little Chong'er is not Gui Zhu's own. , In fact, he found a random child to adopt, otherwise Duke Quwo would have no successors, it would be too ugly to say, because he is not his own, so there is no burden in the fight, and Gui Zhu will naturally not show mercy.
Not only Qi Hou couldn't stand it anymore, Wu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, just now "Boom!" The wine jug hit the boy's push, I don't know what happened to the boy's back, with such great strength, he must have been smashed.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, smiled, and said, "Mr. Quwo, I thought about it just now, just like you said, our Chu State and your Jin State have always been on good terms, and I can't bear to see Jin State being in a mess all the time." , so...it's not a problem to say a few words to the emperor, it's just..."
As he spoke, he hesitated a little, and brushed off his robe. Gui Zhu was still furious just now, when Wu Jiu mentioned this matter, he immediately changed the subject, and quickly said: "Just what? Nothing is a problem! Whatever the king of Chu wants, you just have to ask, as long as we have what Jin has!"
Wu Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Yes, of course there is..."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on little Chong'er, who pushed him against the crying boy who was out of breath, and said, "Gold, silver, treasures, BMWs and beautiful jade are all available in the state of Chu, so I don't want such vulgar things." But since the widow has helped Duke Quwo, it is natural to ask for some benefits, you can rest assured, and the widow can also feel at ease, right?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Gui Zhu quickly responded, "That's the truth!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "In this case, the widow wants a hostage..."
As he spoke, he paused, raised his finger, pointed at Little Chong'er, and said, "Just him, come to our state of Chu and be your hostage in your state of Jin. If there is any misfortune between our two countries, the widow will be considered It's rich, isn't it?"
When Gui Zhu heard this, he rolled his eyes involuntarily, as if he had earned money, and immediately said: "Okay! I will hand over the child to the king of Chu as a hostage. The conditions of the king of Chu are very reasonable and not excessive at all! "
Guizhu felt that he had made a profit. After all, little Chonger was not his own. Even if Chonger was sent as a hostage, there would be no loss. What's the point without blinking your eyes?On the contrary, a lot of gold, silver and jewels were saved, which was naturally agreed, very much agreed.
Unbeknownst to everyone, what Wu Jiu wants is not a proton, but the famous Duke Wen of Jin in the future. If he can push Chong'er to the throne of Jin State, then Chu State will be able to control the land in the north by then.
Just think about it, Chu State dominates in the south, and the small countries in the south are almost ups and downs. Qi State is fighting for hegemony in the East, and all the countries in the East surrender to Qi State, while Qin State dominates in the West. The king of Qin State is It was cultivated by Wu Jiu. If Wu Jiu pushes Chong'er to the throne of Marquis of Jin, there will be no place in the south, east, west or north that is not Chu.
Gui Zhu didn't know what kind of character Chong'er was, after all, Chong'er was too young now, and still looked like a tiger and a tiger, without any majesty at all.
Gui Zhu thought he had made a lot of money, so he immediately agreed, wishing he could kowtow to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Okay, this matter is settled today, the hostages can go directly with the widow, and tomorrow the widow will enter the palace and talk to the emperor about the affairs of the state of Jin."
"Good good!"
Gui Zhu hurriedly pushed Xiao Chong'er a few times, and Xiao Chong'er pulled Xiao Chong'er to push. Although Wu Jiao only wanted Xiao Chong'er as a hostage, Xiao Zitui was a boy, not even a person at all, but a slave in fact, so Xiao Chong'er pulled the boy Pushing it over, Gui Zhu didn't even blink his eyelids.
As soon as little Chong'er and the boy pushed over, Wu Jiu hurriedly picked up the boy and pushed, the boy's back hurt after pushing, and he lay in Wu Jiao's arms, groaning, but he didn't dare to cry for fear of offending Que Zhu.
Since Wu Jiu had already got the hostage, there was no need to waste words with Gui, so he hurriedly pushed the boy in his arms, letting Xiao Chong'er follow, and everyone walked out of the banquet hall to the place where Chu was staying.
Marquis Qi led Xiao Chong'er, followed Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, Mr. Quwo is insidious and cunning. If you agree with him to take the position now, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble in the future."
Wu Jiu naturally knew that Gui Zhu was not a good person, but it was a historical trend that Qu Wo was in control of the state of Jin. Wu Jiu was someone who had read history, so he felt that this trend should not be broken by himself, so he simply thought of other ways. good.
But naturally Wu Jiu couldn't tell Qi Hou what the historical trend was, so he just smiled and said, "What's so scary about this? How can the deceitful people find their way out of the sky? Besides, little Chong'er is young, prudent and mature, It will become a great tool in the future, and the widow will get a talent again, this is the most important thing."
When Wu Jiu said this, Marquis Qi actually agreed. After all, Marquis Qi knew that Chong Er was a talent, and it was rare. If not, Marquis Qi would not have betrothed his daughter to Chong Er.
Wu Jiu hugged the kid to push, and hurried into the house, asking Tang Wu to show the kid a look.
The boy lay on the couch, Tang Wu unbuttoned his clothes, and saw that the boy was white and tender, with a bluish-purple mark on his tofu-like back. Congestion, looks very scary.
The boy pushed that he couldn't see it, he just felt the pain, when Xiao Chong'er saw it, he frowned.
It wasn't just him frowning, everyone present was frowning. Such a small child was so cruel that he beat him severely. Tang Wu hurriedly opened the medicine box, took out the medicine, and rubbed it on the boy's wound. Because it hurts too much, a little It hurts to touch, the boy whimpered and cried, his voice was like that of a kitten, so Tang Wu didn't dare to apply medicine to him.
At this time, little Chonger climbed up on the couch, squatted beside the kid, and said, "A man can't cry, I will help you blow it off and it won't hurt."
As Xiao Chong'er spoke, he puffed out his mouth and blew air on the wound pushed by the kid.
Kid Tui hurriedly held back his tears, whimpering, looking even more pitiful, little Chonger took out a small handkerchief, wiped his tears for Kid Tui, and said: "You look so ugly when you cry, I don't even recognize you!" Out."
The boy Tui really stopped crying and asked Tang Wu to give him medicine. Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, because he knew the children hadn't eaten, so he quickly asked Ziqing to get some hot food. Hot meals and hot dishes arrived promptly.
Little Chong'er and Kid Tui gobbled it up, which was even more exaggerated than Qihou's eating, especially Little Chong'er, who looked like a little tiger, Xili Hulu wanted to catch it, so he ate up all the food.
After he finished eating, his face was covered with rice grains, and the kid also finished eating, but only half of it. Little Chonger looked at the rice in his bowl with his eyes fixed on it, but said in his mouth, "I can't even eat this, you It's too wasteful, forget it, I will help you eat!"
Little Chong'er said, holding the bowl, Siri Hulu began to sweep again, it would be like a little bad wolf.
The kid wiped his pink mouth, and said very sincerely, "Thank you, Gongzhi."
Little Chong'er's mouth was full of food, and he muttered, "It doesn't seem like...it doesn't seem to..."
Wu Jiu felt that he had picked up two little treasures, one was cuter than the other, but little Chonger's appetite... seemed a bit big, he wondered if he, the king of Chu, would raise a Qihou and another little Chonger. bankruptcy?
Little Chong'er and Kid Tui followed Wu Jiao, and slept at Wu Jiao's place that night. Early the next morning, Wu Jiao went into the palace, planning to talk to Ji Lang about Qu Wo.
Ji Lang was happy for the past two days. She drank alcohol the first day, because she didn't drink much, so she didn't have a hangover. She drank some wine yesterday, and she got a hangover if she didn't pay attention. This morning, she had a terrible headache. Ji Lang took a look, there was nothing wrong with it, just bear with it.
At this moment, Crown Prince Zheng was in the small bedroom, massaging Ji Lang's head.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou arrived at the small dormitory, and were soon led in by the eunuch. Ji Lang was lying on the soft couch, her face still looking good, but she was a little hungover and having a headache. Seeing Wu Jiu and Qi Hou coming, she hurriedly sat down stand up.
Prince Zheng helped him up and said, "Father, be careful."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "Why did you two enter the palace today?"
Wu Jiu said, "It's because of Duke Quwo."
Ji Lang was taken aback and said, "Mr. Quwo?"
Everyone knew about the disagreement between Wu Jiu and Duke Quwo, so Ji Lang was a little surprised when Wu Jiao said that he came here for Duke Quwo's affairs.
Ji Lang then smiled and said, "I know, the king of Chu must have come to persuade me not to confer Duke Quwo."
Wu Jiu said, "Son of Heaven, it's just the opposite."
Ji Lang was taken aback again, and said, "The King of Chu and Duke Qi are here to speak well of Duke Quwo?"
No wonder Ji Lang was so surprised, because Marquis Qi didn't expect that one day he would speak good words for Duke Quwo.
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Exactly."
Ji Lang smiled and said, "The sun must be coming out from the west today, isn't it?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Perhaps it is, let's not hide it from the emperor, Jiu and Duke Qi's intention to visit this time is really to say good things for Duke Qu Wo."
Ji Lang said, "I don't know why, the King of Chu and Duke Qi have such thoughts?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "To tell the truth, it is because of the benefit of Duke Quwo."
He was so straightforward, Ji Lang couldn't say anything, Wu Jiu said: "Son of Heaven, think about it, the trend of Jin is like this now, and Yicheng has existed in name only, even if you don't canonize Duke Quwo as Marquis of Jin, Quwo The Duke is still the ruler of the Jin Kingdom, so whether the Son of Heaven canonize or not, there is no loss, and besides..."
Wu Jiu also said: "Nowadays Luoshi has just encountered a war, and it is time to recuperate. The people are complaining because of the war, and Wei Hou and Gerber have just stirred up public opinion. One more supporter is better than one more troublemaker. The people are much stronger, and the emperor can take advantage of the fire to rob and slam the money of Duke Quwo, and then use the money to appease and subsidize the soldiers who were injured in the battle against Yiqu, and then use the money to transfer to the hands of the people. The people are easy to be satisfied, as long as they have some small favors, they will support the emperor, why not do such a good thing that can achieve multiple goals at one stroke?"
Ji Lang listened, laughed, and said: "I heard that the king of Chu had a small restaurant with the state of Qi before he came to Chu, and the business was doing well. When we saw it today, he was really careful and careful, and no profit could escape the eyes of the king of Chu." Woolen cloth."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven is absurd. After all, there is profit and nothing to lose. Wouldn't it be too stupid to not forget to keep it in your pocket?"
Ji Lang said with a smile: "Well said, what you said is right! Then according to what the king of Chu said, when the court discusses, let's canonize Duke Quwo together... The king of Chu said so many good things for Duke Quwo , don’t forget to ask for more benefits.”
Wu Jiu nodded, smiled meaningfully, and said, "The benefits have already caused Duke Quwo to suffer endlessly."
The court meeting to deal with Marquis Wei and Gerber was convened soon, because Marquis Wei is located in the north and is one of the gateways to fight against the Di people, so Ji Lang felt that it is really unfair to revoke the state of Wei and merge it into other countries. It is unrealistic, so Weihou can only be dealt with, and Weihou's son, son Chi, succeeds to the throne, and Weiguo is ordered to review himself, and Xuan Jiang is executed at the same time.
Ge Bo is a small country, so naturally there is no family to speak of. It happened that Ji Lang wanted to consolidate Luo Shi's power and majesty, so he directly revoked Ge State and merged Ge State into Zhou State's direct jurisdiction.
As for Wen Guo, Mr. Wen Guo had already been sent back to Wen Guo after receiving the palace sentence, because Wen Guo was right next to him, and Su Zi, the king of Wen Guo, had already rushed to Luoshi overnight, and hurriedly came to apologize in person.
Ji Lang was still in court discussion and proposed the canonization of Duke Quwo. To be honest, Quwo did not contribute at all in this battle against the Yiqu people, so there was no excuse for canonization.
Ji Lang still racked his brains to come up with the reason for the canonization. The reason was that when the Xirong people attacked the Luo division, Duke Quwo was able to strictly guard the northern position and prevented the Di people from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Hou.
This reason is very far-fetched, everyone thought it was weird when they heard it, but when Wu Jiao and Qihou stood up and agreed, everyone immediately understood that no matter how weird it sounds, they must be unified, otherwise they will be in trouble with the king of Chu and the overlord , wouldn't that be a bad day?
In this way, Quwo Gong Guizhu became the Marquis of Jin Guizhu, and he accepted the canonization very smoothly. Guizhu took out all the treasures of the Jin Kingdom and gave them to Ji Lang. It can be said that he was bleeding heavily.
After this battle, the Luo division is very empty and needs to recuperate for at least three years. After all, a bunch of males sign up to join the army, the food production will decrease, the food will decrease, and the residents will move out, which will lead to economic instability. In a downturn, a series of problems will follow.
However, with the money bribed by the state of Jin, the state of Zhou survived in one fell swoop. It didn't need to rest for three years, and he directly asked for food, which solved the problem of insufficient food, and the remaining money was more than enough.
