Chapter 53 Tiger wolf medicine (2)
Trembling, careful not to take a breath.
Before Qihou finished tying his hair, he heard the eunuch outside say: "Your Majesty, my son please see me."
When Qi Hou heard this, his gloomy expression was blown away in an instant, and he quickly said: "Please."
Soon, the door opened, and Wu Jiao walked in. Qi Hou also smelled the smell of grilled fish, not only that, but also the smell of pancakes. Was also inspired.
Last night, Qihou himself wanted to eat grilled fish, but because of Yao Ji's incident, he forgot about it. Right now, he smelled the overbearing aroma of grilled fish, and his stomach almost growled.
Wu Jiu asked Ziqing and Yan'e to put the grilled fish on the table, saluted respectfully, and said, "Jiao came here specially to apologize to your majesty."
When Qihou heard this, he laughed and said, "Second brother, what is the crime? It was because Yao Ji got angry yesterday, and instead made second brother implicated, so I have to make amends to second brother."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was a little dazed again. After midnight, Qi Hou turned his face like turning over a book. Before midnight, he was still furious, but after midnight, he became gentle and watery. This was both watery and fiery, which really made Wu Jiao a little overwhelmed. .
But it’s good for Qihou not to be angry. Wu Jiu presented the delicacies that he made early in the morning. Qihou seemed to be happier when he saw the delicacies. After all, there was the grilled fish he was thinking of, and the big pancakes that Qihou could eat four in one meal. .
Qi Hou saw the little white rabbit bean buns on the plate, he seemed to have never seen it before, and said with a smile: "What is this?"
Wu Jiu just wanted to say that it was the bean bun made by the little rabbit, but Qi Hou added with a smile: "It's so similar to the second brother."
Wu Jiu: "..." Wu Jiu almost choked to death in an instant.
Qi Hou didn't know what it was after seeing the delicious food, anyway, he woke up in a good mood in the morning, and invited Wu Jiu to have a meal together.
Wu Jiu sat down, and saw Qihou picking up a white and tender little bunny bean bun, then chuckled lightly, and put it on his lips for a soft kiss. Dressed loosely, it is different from the usual serious and fierce dress, and it looks a bit gentle and gentle.
Qihou suddenly made such an ambiguous gesture again, and Wu Jiao blushed inexplicably in an instant, and he was startled, and then he heard Qihou laughing and said: "This cute little pastry is exactly the same as the second brother's. How can you bear to say it?"
Wu Jiu watched Qihou kissing the rabbit bean bun, licked his lips for no reason, and suddenly remembered the scene in the carriage where he was forced to kiss by Qihou, who became a kissing maniac after drinking alcohol, and immediately blushed even more, and hurriedly got up and said : "Jiao...Jiao suddenly remembered that there was something urgent that he had not dealt with, so he resigned first."
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Since there is something urgent, the second brother should go, just remember not to get tired."
Wu Jiu smartly responded, and ran out of Qihou's house as if fleeing for his life, with some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
In fact, Wu Jiu had nothing urgent to do, and just sat there after returning to his room.
After a few days, almost all the special envoys from various countries arrived, and Emperor Zhou prepared a seemingly low-key banquet for the special envoys from various countries, including of course Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu who came to the funeral in person.
Wu Jiu was fully dressed and was ready to go to the banquet. When he walked out of the post house, he saw two black chariots parked at the gate of the post house. He thought that today he would sit separately from Marquis Qi. Instead, Wu Jiu was embarrassed and would think of the embarrassing incident in the car that day.
In the end, Wu made a mistake. These were not all their cars. At this moment, Qi Hou also walked out of the post office, and met a man. The man had white hair and beard, and looked old. It turned out that it was Mr. Tan Guo who had no eyesight and molested Qihou on the outskirts of the city that day, and said he liked strong people!
At that time, Marquis Qi was not wearing court clothes, so Mr. Tan Guo didn't recognize him. Now that Marquis Qi is wearing a long robe, he looks dignified and dignified, and more importantly, he looks very dignified.
When Mr. Tan saw it, his calf immediately turned a little bit, but that day Qi Hou threw him into the river very disrespectfully, which made Mr. Tan sick for a few days, and Mr. Tan also held a grudge in his heart.
Although Tan State covers a small area, as I said before, Tan State is a very arrogant country. After all, their monarch is now in his nineties, and he is the monarch who assists King Zhou Ping.
Moreover, at that time, Tan Gong’s words were very important. Regardless of the fact that Tan Guo could not seal the country at all, because in Cheng Zhou’s feudal kingdom, there was no real Tan country, and the king of Tan Guo was only a fifth-class title of Duke and uncle. The second-to-last title, the status is not high, and many monarchs jokingly call Tan Guo "the country where no surname is allowed".
But Tan Gong put forward the idea of "respecting the king and suppressing hegemony" to King Ping of Zhou in his early years. Because the gradual rise of the vassal states in those years posed a great threat to King Ping of Zhou, so King Ping of Zhou also knew how important it is to suppress hegemony, so he adopted it. According to Tan Gong's opinion, Tan Gong became King Zhou Ping's favorite prince for a while.
In addition, Mr. Tan's seniority is old, and Tan's economy is developed. Therefore, although Tan's country is small, other countries dare not attack rashly. This also gives Tan a lot of psychological advantages.
To be honest, Mr. Tan is old, and he is also a bit old-fashioned. Even the well-known Duke Huan of Qi is also old-fashioned in his later years. How could the mighty Qin Shihuang not be old-fashioned in his later years? Today, Mr. Tan is still immersed in his ability to assist Zhou Ping. In Wang's glorious memories, when other countries expanded their territory and strengthened their status, Mr. Tan adhered to the idea of "suppressing hegemony", and naturally gradually fell behind.
Tan Gong is now in his nineties, and the crown prince of Tan Guo is also old-fashioned. I don't know if this son of Tan Guo is also influenced by Tan Gong's somewhat outdated thinking. He looks down on Marquis Qi, even Qi Guo.
When Mr. Tan saw Marquis Qi, he snorted coldly, stepped into the car, ordered people to drive the car, and dared to drive away in front of Marquis Qi.
Qi Hou sneered, turned to look at Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, please."
Wu Jiu didn't dare to get into the car first, and said respectfully: "The monarch first invites you."
Qihou didn't refuse any more, he got on the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to support Wu Jiu to get on the carriage as well.
As soon as they got into the carriage, the two of them were alone again, and the eunuch was also stopped under the carriage, Wu Jiu suddenly felt even more uncomfortable, as if there were thorns growing inside his clothes, was it right to sit in the carriage? Very honest.
But Qi Hou didn't know that he was drunk that day, and he kissed Wu Jiu forcefully, and he didn't find Wu Jiu's unnaturalness, he just said: "I'm afraid the banquet will be over late today, we may have to live in the palace today."
Wu Jiu didn't hear him, and was still distracted. After Qi Hou finished speaking, he saw Wu Jiao in a daze. He turned his head and screamed for a long time without any response, so he waved his hand. Wu Jiu said "Huh?" After waking up, he suddenly said unnaturally: "Correction is impolite, just now... I was distracted just now, and I didn't listen to your majesty's instructions."
Qihou said: "What's on my mind, my second brother? You look so preoccupied, could it be that you met some beauty that made your second brother dream about it?"
Qi Hou didn't know how sour his words were, fortunately Wu Jiu couldn't hear it, but suddenly he blushed a little, Wu Jiao did have something on his mind, but it wasn't any beauty.
Seeing that his face was unnatural, Qi Hou thought he was right, Wu Jiao had taken a fancy to someone's girl. Thinking of this, his face became cloudy, wondering if Wu Jiao was seduced by that Yao Ji ?The two rekindled their old relationship?
As soon as Qi Hou thought of this, he said coldly: "Before entering the palace, I just want to remind my second brother that Yao Ji is the concubine wife of the late king. A few days ago, I let Xi Peng enter the palace. The emperor said that he would be serious. When it comes to dealing with Yao Ji, it's better for the second brother not to have any thoughts, otherwise... hmph."
Qi Hou snorted coldly again, making Wu Jiu baffled, Wu Jiu didn't know why Qi Hou suddenly mentioned Yao Ji again, Wu Jiao almost forgot.
Wu Jiao thought for a while, fearing that Marquis Qi might have misunderstood that he and Yao Ji were joining forces to deal with Marquis Qi's throne, and quickly said: "Jiu has nothing to do with Yao Ji, and there won't be any in the future, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
When Qihou heard this, he calmed down and said, "That would be the best, I hope the second brother will remember today's words."
After that, the two of them had nothing to say all the way, Wu Jiu really didn't understand Qi Hou, he was obviously in a good mood, but in an instant his mood became gloomy.
All the way to the palace, there were several cars parked at the gate, and countless envoys from various countries came down from above.
But this time, the people who came to the funeral were all special envoys. Apart from the Qi country, most of the sons who came to the funeral from several countries were special envoys, so the status of Qihou was extraordinarily high.
When Marquis Qi got out of the car, he became the focus of everyone. Many people came to chat and meet. After all, since the news of the wedding of the son Wukui spread, the country of Qi has not been laughed at. Therefore, many countries want to climb the big tree of Qi, so as to shelter from the wind and rain.
Wu Jiao followed behind Marquis Qi and became busy, everyone also greeted Wu Jiao politely, Wu Jiao clasped his fists together and never let go, his arms were sore from the salute.
At this time, an eunuch carefully pushed aside the crowd, squeezed over and said with an apologetic smile, "Duke Qi, the emperor is here to invite you."
Qihou nodded and was about to go with the eunuch, but the eunuch smiled politely at Wu Jiu and said, "The Son of Heaven invites you, too."
Wu Jiu clasped his fists in return, and the two of them followed the eunuch, and the special envoys nearby all looked at it, the emperor of Zhou was indeed close to Marquis Qi, otherwise why did he invite Marquis Qi away alone as soon as he came?
In fact, it's not that Hu Qi wanted to get close to Marquis Qi, but because he had to. Firstly, Qi State is indeed powerful, and secondly, because...
A few days ago, Yao Ji went to the posthouse to take off her clothes, but was escorted back with disheveled clothes, and Hu Qi got into a mess again, so she had to come to make amends.
Yao Ji was arrested that day, and Hu Qi was so angry that he was half dead. After all, Qi Peng, Sun Xipeng, the chief official of the Qi State, went to the palace in person to ask the emperor for an explanation, and also passed on the words of the Marquis of Qi.
Qi Hou's words were quite ugly. Hu Qi was humiliated and angry, and promised to punish Yao Ji severely, and then he would tell Qi Hou.
As a result, after Yao Ji was escorted back, she threw herself into Hu Qi's arms and cried, saying that she went to the post house with good intentions, for Hu Qi's sake, to win over Qi's prince Jiu, to serve as an eyeliner for Zhou loyally, etc. Wait, who would have thought that Young Master Jiu would actually insult him forcibly, at this time Qihou blamed himself indiscriminately.
Yao Ji was very wronged, she said that the pear blossoms were raining, Hu Qi fell into the trap of a beauty, after all, he was older than Yao Ji, he had already fallen in love with this little mother, once the beauty cried, he was out of control, he just said verbally Yao Ji was grounded, in fact, there was no punishment at all, and instead he hung out with Yao Ji every day.
That day Qi Hou and Wu Jiu entered the palace. Hu Qi needed to explain this matter to Qi Hou, so he invited them here. Hu Qi walked over with a smile and said, "Qi Gong, what happened to Yao Ji last time, The widow has already severely scolded her, and ordered her to stay in the palace, and she is not allowed to leave even one step, Yao Ji has already realized her mistake."
When Qihou heard this, he just chuckled, this punishment is too light, and what's more, who knows if the foot is grounded or not?It's not just listening to Hu Qi's empty teeth.
Qihou just said: "Thank you, the Son of Heaven, for making the decision."
Hu Qi was relieved when he heard that Qi Hou didn't pursue him any more. In fact, it was because Qi Hou wanted Hu Qi to take care of things at the banquet later, so it was inconvenient to push Hu Qi too hard. Now let him relax his jaw and let Hu Qi breathe One breath is also good.
Soon the two went to the banquet. Today's banquet was very grand. All the special envoys of the princes came, and they were full. Although the princes are divided according to the five classes of princes and uncles, the king of Qi who came today is the largest, so Sitting at the top, Wu Jiu also sat beside Qihou, and their mats were joined together.
For the rest, according to the ranks of each country, the envoy of the duke sits at the front, then the envoy of the marquis, then the envoy of the earl, and finally the envoy of the viscount and baron.
Sitting next to Wu Jiu was Lu Gong's special envoy, son Qingfu, who was the special envoy of Marquis Wei at a distance, and he knew that Marquis Wei had just sent someone to perfunctory his affairs, and it was his father who sent him. His half-brother is also his cheap little father and son-in-law.
And Zheng Guo is an earl country, so the envoy Zheng Bot sits even further back.
The person almost sitting at the door of the banquet hall is Mr. Tan Guo. Although he is a son, Tan Guo is a viscount country, and it is a country where no surname is allowed. No matter whether their economy is developed or not, whoever Mr. Tan has assisted, but in In front of etiquette, you still have to sit behind.
Young Master Tan Guo held the door, very unhappy.
Once such a line of people lined up, it was very obvious which country was absent, especially the absent country was relatively high in status, just behind the position of the special envoy of the State of Lu, and the son Qingfu was empty.
That is the position of Song Gong's special envoy, but there is no special envoy from Song State, which makes everyone here very strange.
Song Gong is a duke country, and it can be regarded as one of the powerful countries. Wei Guo, Song Guo, and Zheng Guo, the three countries are a three-legged area, and they are all countries that go deep into the hinterland. Fighting, almost running away, who let Song Guo be next to Zheng Guo, chasing and beating until Zhou Tianzi couldn't stand it anymore, but it's okay, it's so domineering.
Later, when Zheng Zhuanggong died, the state of Song was so proud that he forced Zheng Guoli to make a son of Song's blood suddenly become Uncle Zheng.
The State of Song finally consumed Zheng Zhuanggong to death, lost the strong suppression of the State of Zheng, and gradually became stronger. Today, the State of Song is also one of the top powers, and there is no place to despise the Emperor Zhou, but this time he did not come to participate Going to the funeral is really a big mistake, which surprised many people.
Wu Jiao was not surprised. No one in Song State went to the funeral, which was a reasonable thing. Although Wu Jiao was not a serious Eastern Zhou person, he knew some Eastern Zhou history. into extreme civil unrest.
Because of the death of Emperor Zhou, Song Gong needed to choose a special envoy to attend the funeral. At that time, Song had a very powerful general named Nangong Changwan. However, Nangong Changwan had just lost a battle, so he wanted to make amends, so he asked for his order. Going to a funeral, you can also come and get close to the special envoys of various countries.
But Song Gong had no EQ, so he laughed at Nangong Changwan, saying how could he go to the funeral as a defeated man?
So Nangong Chang Wan beat Song Gong to death in a fit of anger.
At that time, Nangong Changwan was probably very scared. After all, he killed the king, but his anger grew from his heart, and his evil turned to the guts. He even arrested and killed the king who saw him killing the king. After killing him, all the princes of the Song Dynasty fled for a while, and none of the doctors dared to say anything.
The young masters fled to Bianyi, brought the local army back and killed them. Who would come to attend the funeral for Emperor Zhou at this time?They haven't finished killing yet.
Nangong Chang Wan Ke was a very famous person who abolished the Duke before the Song Dynasty in history, and he was well-known because of trivial matters such as funerals and Duke Song's ridicule.
Wu Jiu was not surprised, in fact, Qi Hou was not surprised either, naturally Wu Jiu didn't know this.
Qi Hou naturally knew that at this time, Song Gong might have become a ghost under the knife because of his quick tongue, because no one in Song State came to the funeral, so Qi Hou wanted to take this opportunity to make use of it to get Hu Qi to agree with him. As the son of heaven, he presided over the alliance of princes.
Hu Qi thought that he could get rid of the matter of the alliance just by agreeing to the cession of Lu's land by Marquis Qi. He didn't know that nothing that Marquis Qi wanted to do would be impossible. question.
Qi Hou smiled and saw that the position of Song Gong's special envoy was vacant, and he was not very surprised. He glanced at it lightly, and then looked away.
Today's host, apart from Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi, there is another person, that is only ten years old, but extremely ruthless Prince Tui.
In fact, Hu Qi also knows that Wang Zitui wants to compete with him, but firstly, Wang Zitui is really too young, only 11 years old, and secondly, because Hu Qi spied on Yao Ji's beauty, he listened to Yao Ji talking about Wang Zitui every day. No matter how much he respects and loves his elder brother, he believed what he heard, and gradually let go of some guards. In addition, Hu Qi had just ascended the throne, and he was full of joy, so naturally he didn't pay attention, and began to breed tigers.
At such a young age, Wang Zitui sat next to Zhou Tianzi, and everyone couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Hu Qi came out because he was the Son of Heaven, and now the special envoys of various countries, whether they are courtiers or vassals, need to bow down and bow to the Son of Heaven.
Everyone stood up and knelt down to salute, while Hu Qi said with a smile: "Please stand up, gentlemen."
Everyone thanked En and got up and re-entered the table. This Hu Qi restrained his smile, and pretended to be sad, covering his face with his sleeve and crying.
I am afraid that in this world, when Lao Tzu died, his son clapped his hands happily, and only the princely family, or the rich family, Hu Qi was happy when the former king died of anger, because he was the prince, and he could sit on the entire Zhou Dynasty up.
But Hu Qi wanted to pretend to be filial, covered his mouth and nose and wept, saying: "The late king passed away, and I feel sad for it. Every time I think about it, I can't help myself. The special envoys of the kings came from afar to attend the funeral of the late king. I am very grateful."
As Hu Qi said, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, saying they didn't dare.
Hu Qi also said: "Today is the widow's welcome to the ministers who have come from afar. Don't be alienated from the ministers. Please have a drink."
Hu Qi started to toast while talking, Wu Jiu's most disturbing thing happened again, he was about to push the cups again, so he quickly raised his wine glass, like everyone else, and drank down a glass of wine.
Hu Qi didn’t have many opening remarks. After all, he had just ascended the throne, so he was afraid of making too many mistakes, and he was also afraid of showing his happy emotions. In fact, today’s event was not a welcome banquet, but a celebration banquet for him to ascend the throne.
After Hu Qi gave an order, the banquet started, and everyone began to drink happily. If it wasn't for the problem of dressing, it wouldn't look like a funeral at all. Everyone looked happy.
Young Master Qingfu was sitting beside Wu Jiu, turned his head, smiled and said to Wu Jiu, "That day, Father Qing didn't see Young Master for a long time, I miss you so much."
Wu Jiu just wanted to deal with Father Qing, thinking that you won’t miss him after a while, after all Hu Qi promised Marquis Qi to ask Lu State for land, now the special envoy here is Father Qing, so naturally he wants to ask Father Qing land.
Wu Jiao raised his wine glass to prevaricate, but Qingfu didn't know which tendon was wrong, and when Qihou wasn't looking, he secretly reached out and touched Wu Jiao's leg.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and quickly rubbed his back. Father Qing smiled and said, "Young master, why are you so out of touch?"
Wu Jiao was almost disgusted by his smile, frowned, and said coolly: "Young Master Lu is joking, Qi and Lu are already inside and outside, when did they disappear?"
Father Qing came over with a smile, as if he was sure that with so many people present, Wu Jiao couldn't turn his back on him. He reached out to touch him again, but Wu Jiao hurriedly backed away, and accidentally bumped his arm into Marquis Qi who was next to him.
Qi Hou was being courteous with Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi, when Wu Jiu bumped into him, he thought that Wu Jiao had something to do, but when he turned his head, he saw Father Qing's wretched smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his face, smiled coldly, and said : "Master Lu."
Father Qing suddenly heard Qi Hou's sneer, he looked over, and finally restrained himself a bit, he clasped his fists and said, "Duke Qi, what advice do you have?"
Qihou smiled and said: "I don't dare to give advice, but it's just right. The emperor and Gu talked about the state of Lu a few days ago. It seemed that there was something he wanted to tell the special envoy of the state of Lu. I didn't expect that the special envoy of the state of Lu who came to the funeral this time happened to be the son. You, that couldn't be better."
Qing's father felt that Qi Hou was smiling, and he didn't know what it was, so he looked at Zhou Tianzi.
Hu Qi was in a dilemma for a while, did Marquis Qi want to talk to the envoy of the State of Lu about ceding the territory at this time?If he said it at this time, it would be too disrespectful to Lu Guo. Isn't this a big slap in the face of Lu Guo in public?
When Hu Qi was hesitating, Marquis Qi also looked over, stared at Hu Qi with a smile, and said, "The Son of Heaven has something to say to the special envoy of the State of Lu?"
When Hu Qi said this, he promised Qihou not to say it before, but just now because of Yao Ji's matter, Qihou sold his face, now it is really difficult to refute Qihou's meaning, so he bites the bullet He smiled and said, "Yes, I have something to tell Mr. Lu Guo, it's like this..."
Hu Qi organized his language. When he said this, all the special envoys from various countries looked over. The hall suddenly fell silent, waiting for Hu Qi to speak. Hu Qi was even more embarrassed, sweating like an emperor. It was his first time too.
Hu Qi coughed, and said: "Because of the eunuch of Lu State's eunuch seducing Wang Ji, I discussed it with Qi Gong. Qi Gong is also a magnanimous person, and he has said all good things for Lu State. Why don't we just leave it like this. The widow is the master, the state of Lu ceded Suiyi, a small city, to the state of Qi, as a token of affection, this matter will be fine, and we must not hurt everyone's harmony."
When everyone heard it, they looked at each other in dismay. The special envoys of several countries gathered together to discuss quickly. There was a murmur of discussion in the hall, and the discussion could not be stopped for a while.
As for Qing's father, when Qing's father heard it, it seemed that a big mouth "snap!" was slapped on his face. Hu Qi said that, and Wang Ji's responsibility was completely pushed away. Besides, it has nothing to do with Wang Ji Although Tong's eunuch was born in the state of Lu, he was also an eunuch in the state of Zhou. To put it bluntly, he had nothing to do with the state of Lu. Qi didn't mention the matter of Ai Jiang, but just pushed Wang Ji's responsibility to the state of Lu.
It is true that Suiyi is a small city, but this small city is too important. It seems to be a power point for bows and arrows. If Qi State gets Suiyi, then Qufu City, the capital of Lu State, will also becomes dangerous.
Father Qing's expression was not good, and he said tentatively in a low voice: "This... Son of Heaven, although the eunuch was born in the Lu country, he has basically never set foot in the Lu country. He is..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Jiao smiled sneeringly at the side. After all, Wu Jiao is also a person who must take revenge, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this? You want to shift the responsibility to the emperor." gone?"
When Hu Qi heard this, he glared at Qing's father. Even if the responsibility belonged to Zhou Guo, he couldn't admit it, so he said, "Young Master Lu, the widow has been given a lighter sentence. It's just a small town. I cut it off and made amends with Duke Qi." , It can be regarded as extrajudicial grace, since the state of Lu has been a state of etiquette since the closure of the country, such impolite and rude behaviors occurred because the ruler of Lu State was not strict in discipline and improperly governed the people, there should be a lesson. "
Qing's father had an old face, and he was slapped from left to right. He was twitched twice, which made him hard to say. If he directly contradicted Hu Qi, even though Hu Qi was the emperor of Zhou who had just ascended the throne, the state of Lu was also quite lonely. Help is missed, after all, other countries are watching the fun, and they will definitely not contradict with themselves.
But if he really agrees and cuts off Suiyi, Duke Lu will definitely beat him up and scold him when he goes back. Qing's father thought it was a good job to go to the funeral this time, to make friends with the new Emperor Zhou, show his face, and go to the funeral There was still a bounty, but it turned out that it didn't work out, and this terrible thing happened.
Qihou just held his wine glass with a smile and said, "Master Lu Guo gave me a correct sentence."
Father Qing was almost driven to panic, his face was pale, his hands were shaking, but he couldn't say a word, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Father Qing, thank the emperor for the light punishment."
Hu Qi was also relieved when he heard him let go, and said with a smile: "You should thank Mr. Qi Gong in large numbers, and you can sign the covenant of land cession in another day."
Qing's father gritted his teeth. In one sentence, a small city was gone, and there were so many adults who had to thank others, his lungs were about to explode with anger.
Wu Jiu raised his wine glass at this moment, and said to Father Qing with a smile: "In the future, we will sign a covenant of ceding land with the State of Lu. It seems that when Jiu and Young Master Lu are at odds, there will be more determinations?"
Qing's father's angry eyes almost caught fire, but it was useless, seeing Wu Jiu's smile, his back molars itch, so he simply turned his head away and didn't look at him.
As soon as the banquet started, Marquis Qi took the lead and let the state of Lu cut off a piece of land in an instant. I am afraid that Qi Guo will target himself again.
But Qi Hou seems to be in a good mood because he got the land of Lu State, with a gentle smile on his face, and a gentle speech, and he will return a toast if someone toasts, he seems to have no airs of a monarch.
After drinking for three rounds, Marquis Qi didn't know if he was drunk, so he stood up holding a full wine glass, smiled and walked in front of the special envoy of the State of Wei, Young Master Wan. Because of his natural cowardice, Young Master Wan sat on the seat, Basically no toast.
He knew that this time was a hard job, after all, Marquis Wei had offended Marquis Qi before, and even got married, not only that, but the assassination was unsuccessful, so Wei Hou sent himself to do this hard job.
Sure enough, Marquis Qi walked over, Young Master Wan hardly dared to look up, Qi Hou looked drunk, and half-jokingly said: "Isn't this Young Master Wan? When I came to the funeral alone, I passed by Weiguo."
Sitting next to him is the special envoy of the State of Chen. The State of Chen is also the Marquis of the State. Huben Zhonglang's wife, Hu Zi, is the State Girl Gui of the State of Chen. The State of Chen has a relationship with the State of Qi. , Then he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is the special envoy of the State of Wei."
Qi Hou smiled, how could he not know who the young master is, and said half-jokingly: "Yes! Gu remembers that when Gu passed by the state of Wei, Duke Wei and Gu said a word."
There was something in Qihou's words, and he was the focus of this banquet. Everyone looked at Qihou, even Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi, and said with a smile: "I don't know what words made Qigong remember so deeply. The widow is also interested in listening."
Everyone thought it was something interesting, but they heard Qi Hou smile faintly, holding up his wine glass, squinting his eyes and said indifferently: "Wei Gong said...he resented Qian Mou, the thief who was taken in by the former king, and he always kept it in his heart." , but suffering from the fact that there is no way to send troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty, Wei Gong also said that now the new king has just ascended the throne, and his wings are still fledgling, and he wants to invite Gu to join forces to take the Luo division directly."
Every time he said a word, everyone was terrified. Hu Qi, who was sitting at the top, simply turned pale, and the special envoy of the Wei State, Young Master Wan, was not any better than Hu Qi, and his hands trembled.
Qi Hou said jokingly, looked down at the young master, and said, "Is Gu right? I remember correctly?"
Young Master Wan hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, Qi Gong is joking, just joking."
Qi Hou laughed "heh", drank the wine in the glass suddenly, and said with a smile: "Really? How does Gu remember it so clearly? Could it be that Wei Gong was joking with Gu at that time?"
The young master hurriedly said with a trembling voice: "Yes, that's right... the widow must be joking, no... you can't count, it's a joke."
Although he said that, everyone else heard it, especially Hu Qi, the new king, who heard the truth. Looking at this attitude, he naturally knew whether it was true or not. It was not easy to get angry at the banquet today, but It doesn't mean that Hu Qi didn't understand Qi Hou's words.
Hu Qi laughed coldly, and said: "It turns out that Wei Gong is a person who likes to tell naughty jokes. I really didn't know it before!"
The young master kept wiping his sweat away, and the special envoys from other countries were also calculating in their hearts. For a banquet, Qihou had already attacked two countries. The first Lu State cut off a piece of land, and this was not an invasion, but compensation. He is a magnanimous teacher of justice.
The second state of Wei was even worse. Although it seemed that there was no loss, it became a thorn in Zhou Tianzi's eyes in an instant. One response, are you afraid that no country will respond to the coalition forces?Weiguo's days to come will probably be like walking on eggshells.
Qi Hou drank the wine in the cup, and then came back and sat down on the table, Wu Jiao saw that his face was slightly red, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is probably drunk, please drink two glasses less."
Qihou laughed and said, "I put on some faces, but I'm not drunk yet."
Wu Jiao thought to himself, if he was really drunk, it would be over. He remembered that day when Marquis Qi was drunk, he turned into a kissing maniac. There are so many special envoys here, it would be a disaster if he made a fool of himself.
But this banquet is not because Qi Hou said that he can stop drinking if he doesn't drink, because Qi Hou made two consecutive appearances, so all the special envoys from other countries came to curry favor with Qi Hou. Wu Jiu was squeezed away.
Some special envoys from small countries came to curry favor with Wu Jiu because they couldn’t talk to Marquis Qi. Wu Jiu felt that he really couldn’t drink any more, so he excused himself by saying that he was going out for a while, and hurried out of the hall, which was full of pleasantries. Compliment the sound.
Wu Jiao came out, wandered casually outside, and took a breath of fresh air. It was already night, and the palace was completely dark. Wu Jiao was standing by the lake blowing a breeze, when he heard someone calling himself.
Wu Jiu looked back, the man was tall and tall, wearing the clothes of a cook, with bronze skin, he looked like a tough guy, but it turned out to be Shi Su.
Since rescuing Shi Su that day, Wu Jiu hadn't seen Shi Su again, so he smiled and said, "Is your injury healed?"
Shi Su hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your kindness, the minister's injuries have all healed."
Wu Jiu said, "That's good."
Shi Su seemed to have something to say, but he knelt down and didn't get up. Wu Jiao said in surprise, "Do you have something to say?"
Shi Su said in a low voice, "Shi Su shouldn't have said this, but Mr. Qi and Duke Qi have kindness to the minister, so Shi Su has to say it."
Seeing his solemn expression, Wu Jiu couldn't help frowning, and said, "What's the matter?"
Shi Su said in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor wanted to marry his younger sister to the Duke of Qi in order to win over the power of Qi, but was declined by the Duke of Qi. The prince gave the emperor an idea, which is today's banquet , added tiger and wolf medicine to Duke Qi’s wine, so that Duke Qi and Sister Wang can achieve good things.”
Wu Jiu heard that Zhou Tianzi wanted Qihou as his brother-in-law, and it was too lowly, and Hu Qi didn't have a brain. After hearing Wang Zitui's attention, if this matter really came to light, Wang Zitui pushed back Five or six, after all he was still a child, Zhou Tianzi would lose all face, if Shi Su hadn't been working in the dining room and overheard it, Wu Jiao reckoned that Marquis Qi would fall into this pit.
Wu Jiu quickly thanked Shi Su, and then walked back quickly. When he returned to the hall, he saw at a glance that his seat was empty and Marquis Qi was not there.
Wu Jiu walked over, grabbed a palace man serving wine at random, and said, "Where is Duke Qi?"
The maid said: "Qi Gong is drunk, the emperor ordered the eunuch to invite Qi Gong to the guest house where he is staying."
When Wu Jiu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, what did he say?
So he turned around and left again, hurried out of the main hall, once he left the main hall, he couldn't care about anything and ran away in a hurry.
Wu Jiu walked to the front of the room, gently opened the door, the outer room was very dark, and a bean lamp was lit in the inner room, a man in black clothes could vaguely be seen lying on the couch, it was Qihou.
Zhou Tianzi's sister-in-law hadn't arrived yet, and there was only Qihou in the room, and everyone else had been sent away, leaving it empty.
Wu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Qi Hou seemed to be very drunk, lying on the couch, his black clothes were a little loose, his brows were frowning, his eyes were closed, and he didn't wake up.
Wu Jiao was afraid that Sister Wang would come over at this time, so he had no choice but to walk over bravely, and hurriedly grabbed Qi Hou, saying: "Your Majesty, there is something in your wine, so hurry up and go with me. I am afraid that Your Majesty will need more wives if it is too late." gone."
Qihou felt hot, had a headache, smelled of alcohol, was extremely dry, and was very uncomfortable. He suddenly heard Wu Jiu's words in his ears. Endure the pain and open your eyes
Before Qihou finished tying his hair, he heard the eunuch outside say: "Your Majesty, my son please see me."
When Qi Hou heard this, his gloomy expression was blown away in an instant, and he quickly said: "Please."
Soon, the door opened, and Wu Jiao walked in. Qi Hou also smelled the smell of grilled fish, not only that, but also the smell of pancakes. Was also inspired.
Last night, Qihou himself wanted to eat grilled fish, but because of Yao Ji's incident, he forgot about it. Right now, he smelled the overbearing aroma of grilled fish, and his stomach almost growled.
Wu Jiu asked Ziqing and Yan'e to put the grilled fish on the table, saluted respectfully, and said, "Jiao came here specially to apologize to your majesty."
When Qihou heard this, he laughed and said, "Second brother, what is the crime? It was because Yao Ji got angry yesterday, and instead made second brother implicated, so I have to make amends to second brother."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was a little dazed again. After midnight, Qi Hou turned his face like turning over a book. Before midnight, he was still furious, but after midnight, he became gentle and watery. This was both watery and fiery, which really made Wu Jiao a little overwhelmed. .
But it’s good for Qihou not to be angry. Wu Jiu presented the delicacies that he made early in the morning. Qihou seemed to be happier when he saw the delicacies. After all, there was the grilled fish he was thinking of, and the big pancakes that Qihou could eat four in one meal. .
Qi Hou saw the little white rabbit bean buns on the plate, he seemed to have never seen it before, and said with a smile: "What is this?"
Wu Jiu just wanted to say that it was the bean bun made by the little rabbit, but Qi Hou added with a smile: "It's so similar to the second brother."
Wu Jiu: "..." Wu Jiu almost choked to death in an instant.
Qi Hou didn't know what it was after seeing the delicious food, anyway, he woke up in a good mood in the morning, and invited Wu Jiu to have a meal together.
Wu Jiu sat down, and saw Qihou picking up a white and tender little bunny bean bun, then chuckled lightly, and put it on his lips for a soft kiss. Dressed loosely, it is different from the usual serious and fierce dress, and it looks a bit gentle and gentle.
Qihou suddenly made such an ambiguous gesture again, and Wu Jiao blushed inexplicably in an instant, and he was startled, and then he heard Qihou laughing and said: "This cute little pastry is exactly the same as the second brother's. How can you bear to say it?"
Wu Jiu watched Qihou kissing the rabbit bean bun, licked his lips for no reason, and suddenly remembered the scene in the carriage where he was forced to kiss by Qihou, who became a kissing maniac after drinking alcohol, and immediately blushed even more, and hurriedly got up and said : "Jiao...Jiao suddenly remembered that there was something urgent that he had not dealt with, so he resigned first."
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Since there is something urgent, the second brother should go, just remember not to get tired."
Wu Jiu smartly responded, and ran out of Qihou's house as if fleeing for his life, with some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
In fact, Wu Jiu had nothing urgent to do, and just sat there after returning to his room.
After a few days, almost all the special envoys from various countries arrived, and Emperor Zhou prepared a seemingly low-key banquet for the special envoys from various countries, including of course Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu who came to the funeral in person.
Wu Jiu was fully dressed and was ready to go to the banquet. When he walked out of the post house, he saw two black chariots parked at the gate of the post house. He thought that today he would sit separately from Marquis Qi. Instead, Wu Jiu was embarrassed and would think of the embarrassing incident in the car that day.
In the end, Wu made a mistake. These were not all their cars. At this moment, Qi Hou also walked out of the post office, and met a man. The man had white hair and beard, and looked old. It turned out that it was Mr. Tan Guo who had no eyesight and molested Qihou on the outskirts of the city that day, and said he liked strong people!
At that time, Marquis Qi was not wearing court clothes, so Mr. Tan Guo didn't recognize him. Now that Marquis Qi is wearing a long robe, he looks dignified and dignified, and more importantly, he looks very dignified.
When Mr. Tan saw it, his calf immediately turned a little bit, but that day Qi Hou threw him into the river very disrespectfully, which made Mr. Tan sick for a few days, and Mr. Tan also held a grudge in his heart.
Although Tan State covers a small area, as I said before, Tan State is a very arrogant country. After all, their monarch is now in his nineties, and he is the monarch who assists King Zhou Ping.
Moreover, at that time, Tan Gong’s words were very important. Regardless of the fact that Tan Guo could not seal the country at all, because in Cheng Zhou’s feudal kingdom, there was no real Tan country, and the king of Tan Guo was only a fifth-class title of Duke and uncle. The second-to-last title, the status is not high, and many monarchs jokingly call Tan Guo "the country where no surname is allowed".
But Tan Gong put forward the idea of "respecting the king and suppressing hegemony" to King Ping of Zhou in his early years. Because the gradual rise of the vassal states in those years posed a great threat to King Ping of Zhou, so King Ping of Zhou also knew how important it is to suppress hegemony, so he adopted it. According to Tan Gong's opinion, Tan Gong became King Zhou Ping's favorite prince for a while.
In addition, Mr. Tan's seniority is old, and Tan's economy is developed. Therefore, although Tan's country is small, other countries dare not attack rashly. This also gives Tan a lot of psychological advantages.
To be honest, Mr. Tan is old, and he is also a bit old-fashioned. Even the well-known Duke Huan of Qi is also old-fashioned in his later years. How could the mighty Qin Shihuang not be old-fashioned in his later years? Today, Mr. Tan is still immersed in his ability to assist Zhou Ping. In Wang's glorious memories, when other countries expanded their territory and strengthened their status, Mr. Tan adhered to the idea of "suppressing hegemony", and naturally gradually fell behind.
Tan Gong is now in his nineties, and the crown prince of Tan Guo is also old-fashioned. I don't know if this son of Tan Guo is also influenced by Tan Gong's somewhat outdated thinking. He looks down on Marquis Qi, even Qi Guo.
When Mr. Tan saw Marquis Qi, he snorted coldly, stepped into the car, ordered people to drive the car, and dared to drive away in front of Marquis Qi.
Qi Hou sneered, turned to look at Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, please."
Wu Jiu didn't dare to get into the car first, and said respectfully: "The monarch first invites you."
Qihou didn't refuse any more, he got on the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to support Wu Jiu to get on the carriage as well.
As soon as they got into the carriage, the two of them were alone again, and the eunuch was also stopped under the carriage, Wu Jiu suddenly felt even more uncomfortable, as if there were thorns growing inside his clothes, was it right to sit in the carriage? Very honest.
But Qi Hou didn't know that he was drunk that day, and he kissed Wu Jiu forcefully, and he didn't find Wu Jiu's unnaturalness, he just said: "I'm afraid the banquet will be over late today, we may have to live in the palace today."
Wu Jiu didn't hear him, and was still distracted. After Qi Hou finished speaking, he saw Wu Jiao in a daze. He turned his head and screamed for a long time without any response, so he waved his hand. Wu Jiu said "Huh?" After waking up, he suddenly said unnaturally: "Correction is impolite, just now... I was distracted just now, and I didn't listen to your majesty's instructions."
Qihou said: "What's on my mind, my second brother? You look so preoccupied, could it be that you met some beauty that made your second brother dream about it?"
Qi Hou didn't know how sour his words were, fortunately Wu Jiu couldn't hear it, but suddenly he blushed a little, Wu Jiao did have something on his mind, but it wasn't any beauty.
Seeing that his face was unnatural, Qi Hou thought he was right, Wu Jiao had taken a fancy to someone's girl. Thinking of this, his face became cloudy, wondering if Wu Jiao was seduced by that Yao Ji ?The two rekindled their old relationship?
As soon as Qi Hou thought of this, he said coldly: "Before entering the palace, I just want to remind my second brother that Yao Ji is the concubine wife of the late king. A few days ago, I let Xi Peng enter the palace. The emperor said that he would be serious. When it comes to dealing with Yao Ji, it's better for the second brother not to have any thoughts, otherwise... hmph."
Qi Hou snorted coldly again, making Wu Jiu baffled, Wu Jiu didn't know why Qi Hou suddenly mentioned Yao Ji again, Wu Jiao almost forgot.
Wu Jiao thought for a while, fearing that Marquis Qi might have misunderstood that he and Yao Ji were joining forces to deal with Marquis Qi's throne, and quickly said: "Jiu has nothing to do with Yao Ji, and there won't be any in the future, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
When Qihou heard this, he calmed down and said, "That would be the best, I hope the second brother will remember today's words."
After that, the two of them had nothing to say all the way, Wu Jiu really didn't understand Qi Hou, he was obviously in a good mood, but in an instant his mood became gloomy.
All the way to the palace, there were several cars parked at the gate, and countless envoys from various countries came down from above.
But this time, the people who came to the funeral were all special envoys. Apart from the Qi country, most of the sons who came to the funeral from several countries were special envoys, so the status of Qihou was extraordinarily high.
When Marquis Qi got out of the car, he became the focus of everyone. Many people came to chat and meet. After all, since the news of the wedding of the son Wukui spread, the country of Qi has not been laughed at. Therefore, many countries want to climb the big tree of Qi, so as to shelter from the wind and rain.
Wu Jiao followed behind Marquis Qi and became busy, everyone also greeted Wu Jiao politely, Wu Jiao clasped his fists together and never let go, his arms were sore from the salute.
At this time, an eunuch carefully pushed aside the crowd, squeezed over and said with an apologetic smile, "Duke Qi, the emperor is here to invite you."
Qihou nodded and was about to go with the eunuch, but the eunuch smiled politely at Wu Jiu and said, "The Son of Heaven invites you, too."
Wu Jiu clasped his fists in return, and the two of them followed the eunuch, and the special envoys nearby all looked at it, the emperor of Zhou was indeed close to Marquis Qi, otherwise why did he invite Marquis Qi away alone as soon as he came?
In fact, it's not that Hu Qi wanted to get close to Marquis Qi, but because he had to. Firstly, Qi State is indeed powerful, and secondly, because...
A few days ago, Yao Ji went to the posthouse to take off her clothes, but was escorted back with disheveled clothes, and Hu Qi got into a mess again, so she had to come to make amends.
Yao Ji was arrested that day, and Hu Qi was so angry that he was half dead. After all, Qi Peng, Sun Xipeng, the chief official of the Qi State, went to the palace in person to ask the emperor for an explanation, and also passed on the words of the Marquis of Qi.
Qi Hou's words were quite ugly. Hu Qi was humiliated and angry, and promised to punish Yao Ji severely, and then he would tell Qi Hou.
As a result, after Yao Ji was escorted back, she threw herself into Hu Qi's arms and cried, saying that she went to the post house with good intentions, for Hu Qi's sake, to win over Qi's prince Jiu, to serve as an eyeliner for Zhou loyally, etc. Wait, who would have thought that Young Master Jiu would actually insult him forcibly, at this time Qihou blamed himself indiscriminately.
Yao Ji was very wronged, she said that the pear blossoms were raining, Hu Qi fell into the trap of a beauty, after all, he was older than Yao Ji, he had already fallen in love with this little mother, once the beauty cried, he was out of control, he just said verbally Yao Ji was grounded, in fact, there was no punishment at all, and instead he hung out with Yao Ji every day.
That day Qi Hou and Wu Jiu entered the palace. Hu Qi needed to explain this matter to Qi Hou, so he invited them here. Hu Qi walked over with a smile and said, "Qi Gong, what happened to Yao Ji last time, The widow has already severely scolded her, and ordered her to stay in the palace, and she is not allowed to leave even one step, Yao Ji has already realized her mistake."
When Qihou heard this, he just chuckled, this punishment is too light, and what's more, who knows if the foot is grounded or not?It's not just listening to Hu Qi's empty teeth.
Qihou just said: "Thank you, the Son of Heaven, for making the decision."
Hu Qi was relieved when he heard that Qi Hou didn't pursue him any more. In fact, it was because Qi Hou wanted Hu Qi to take care of things at the banquet later, so it was inconvenient to push Hu Qi too hard. Now let him relax his jaw and let Hu Qi breathe One breath is also good.
Soon the two went to the banquet. Today's banquet was very grand. All the special envoys of the princes came, and they were full. Although the princes are divided according to the five classes of princes and uncles, the king of Qi who came today is the largest, so Sitting at the top, Wu Jiu also sat beside Qihou, and their mats were joined together.
For the rest, according to the ranks of each country, the envoy of the duke sits at the front, then the envoy of the marquis, then the envoy of the earl, and finally the envoy of the viscount and baron.
Sitting next to Wu Jiu was Lu Gong's special envoy, son Qingfu, who was the special envoy of Marquis Wei at a distance, and he knew that Marquis Wei had just sent someone to perfunctory his affairs, and it was his father who sent him. His half-brother is also his cheap little father and son-in-law.
And Zheng Guo is an earl country, so the envoy Zheng Bot sits even further back.
The person almost sitting at the door of the banquet hall is Mr. Tan Guo. Although he is a son, Tan Guo is a viscount country, and it is a country where no surname is allowed. No matter whether their economy is developed or not, whoever Mr. Tan has assisted, but in In front of etiquette, you still have to sit behind.
Young Master Tan Guo held the door, very unhappy.
Once such a line of people lined up, it was very obvious which country was absent, especially the absent country was relatively high in status, just behind the position of the special envoy of the State of Lu, and the son Qingfu was empty.
That is the position of Song Gong's special envoy, but there is no special envoy from Song State, which makes everyone here very strange.
Song Gong is a duke country, and it can be regarded as one of the powerful countries. Wei Guo, Song Guo, and Zheng Guo, the three countries are a three-legged area, and they are all countries that go deep into the hinterland. Fighting, almost running away, who let Song Guo be next to Zheng Guo, chasing and beating until Zhou Tianzi couldn't stand it anymore, but it's okay, it's so domineering.
Later, when Zheng Zhuanggong died, the state of Song was so proud that he forced Zheng Guoli to make a son of Song's blood suddenly become Uncle Zheng.
The State of Song finally consumed Zheng Zhuanggong to death, lost the strong suppression of the State of Zheng, and gradually became stronger. Today, the State of Song is also one of the top powers, and there is no place to despise the Emperor Zhou, but this time he did not come to participate Going to the funeral is really a big mistake, which surprised many people.
Wu Jiao was not surprised. No one in Song State went to the funeral, which was a reasonable thing. Although Wu Jiao was not a serious Eastern Zhou person, he knew some Eastern Zhou history. into extreme civil unrest.
Because of the death of Emperor Zhou, Song Gong needed to choose a special envoy to attend the funeral. At that time, Song had a very powerful general named Nangong Changwan. However, Nangong Changwan had just lost a battle, so he wanted to make amends, so he asked for his order. Going to a funeral, you can also come and get close to the special envoys of various countries.
But Song Gong had no EQ, so he laughed at Nangong Changwan, saying how could he go to the funeral as a defeated man?
So Nangong Chang Wan beat Song Gong to death in a fit of anger.
At that time, Nangong Changwan was probably very scared. After all, he killed the king, but his anger grew from his heart, and his evil turned to the guts. He even arrested and killed the king who saw him killing the king. After killing him, all the princes of the Song Dynasty fled for a while, and none of the doctors dared to say anything.
The young masters fled to Bianyi, brought the local army back and killed them. Who would come to attend the funeral for Emperor Zhou at this time?They haven't finished killing yet.
Nangong Chang Wan Ke was a very famous person who abolished the Duke before the Song Dynasty in history, and he was well-known because of trivial matters such as funerals and Duke Song's ridicule.
Wu Jiu was not surprised, in fact, Qi Hou was not surprised either, naturally Wu Jiu didn't know this.
Qi Hou naturally knew that at this time, Song Gong might have become a ghost under the knife because of his quick tongue, because no one in Song State came to the funeral, so Qi Hou wanted to take this opportunity to make use of it to get Hu Qi to agree with him. As the son of heaven, he presided over the alliance of princes.
Hu Qi thought that he could get rid of the matter of the alliance just by agreeing to the cession of Lu's land by Marquis Qi. He didn't know that nothing that Marquis Qi wanted to do would be impossible. question.
Qi Hou smiled and saw that the position of Song Gong's special envoy was vacant, and he was not very surprised. He glanced at it lightly, and then looked away.
Today's host, apart from Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi, there is another person, that is only ten years old, but extremely ruthless Prince Tui.
In fact, Hu Qi also knows that Wang Zitui wants to compete with him, but firstly, Wang Zitui is really too young, only 11 years old, and secondly, because Hu Qi spied on Yao Ji's beauty, he listened to Yao Ji talking about Wang Zitui every day. No matter how much he respects and loves his elder brother, he believed what he heard, and gradually let go of some guards. In addition, Hu Qi had just ascended the throne, and he was full of joy, so naturally he didn't pay attention, and began to breed tigers.
At such a young age, Wang Zitui sat next to Zhou Tianzi, and everyone couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Hu Qi came out because he was the Son of Heaven, and now the special envoys of various countries, whether they are courtiers or vassals, need to bow down and bow to the Son of Heaven.
Everyone stood up and knelt down to salute, while Hu Qi said with a smile: "Please stand up, gentlemen."
Everyone thanked En and got up and re-entered the table. This Hu Qi restrained his smile, and pretended to be sad, covering his face with his sleeve and crying.
I am afraid that in this world, when Lao Tzu died, his son clapped his hands happily, and only the princely family, or the rich family, Hu Qi was happy when the former king died of anger, because he was the prince, and he could sit on the entire Zhou Dynasty up.
But Hu Qi wanted to pretend to be filial, covered his mouth and nose and wept, saying: "The late king passed away, and I feel sad for it. Every time I think about it, I can't help myself. The special envoys of the kings came from afar to attend the funeral of the late king. I am very grateful."
As Hu Qi said, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, saying they didn't dare.
Hu Qi also said: "Today is the widow's welcome to the ministers who have come from afar. Don't be alienated from the ministers. Please have a drink."
Hu Qi started to toast while talking, Wu Jiu's most disturbing thing happened again, he was about to push the cups again, so he quickly raised his wine glass, like everyone else, and drank down a glass of wine.
Hu Qi didn’t have many opening remarks. After all, he had just ascended the throne, so he was afraid of making too many mistakes, and he was also afraid of showing his happy emotions. In fact, today’s event was not a welcome banquet, but a celebration banquet for him to ascend the throne.
After Hu Qi gave an order, the banquet started, and everyone began to drink happily. If it wasn't for the problem of dressing, it wouldn't look like a funeral at all. Everyone looked happy.
Young Master Qingfu was sitting beside Wu Jiu, turned his head, smiled and said to Wu Jiu, "That day, Father Qing didn't see Young Master for a long time, I miss you so much."
Wu Jiu just wanted to deal with Father Qing, thinking that you won’t miss him after a while, after all Hu Qi promised Marquis Qi to ask Lu State for land, now the special envoy here is Father Qing, so naturally he wants to ask Father Qing land.
Wu Jiao raised his wine glass to prevaricate, but Qingfu didn't know which tendon was wrong, and when Qihou wasn't looking, he secretly reached out and touched Wu Jiao's leg.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and quickly rubbed his back. Father Qing smiled and said, "Young master, why are you so out of touch?"
Wu Jiao was almost disgusted by his smile, frowned, and said coolly: "Young Master Lu is joking, Qi and Lu are already inside and outside, when did they disappear?"
Father Qing came over with a smile, as if he was sure that with so many people present, Wu Jiao couldn't turn his back on him. He reached out to touch him again, but Wu Jiao hurriedly backed away, and accidentally bumped his arm into Marquis Qi who was next to him.
Qi Hou was being courteous with Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi, when Wu Jiu bumped into him, he thought that Wu Jiao had something to do, but when he turned his head, he saw Father Qing's wretched smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his face, smiled coldly, and said : "Master Lu."
Father Qing suddenly heard Qi Hou's sneer, he looked over, and finally restrained himself a bit, he clasped his fists and said, "Duke Qi, what advice do you have?"
Qihou smiled and said: "I don't dare to give advice, but it's just right. The emperor and Gu talked about the state of Lu a few days ago. It seemed that there was something he wanted to tell the special envoy of the state of Lu. I didn't expect that the special envoy of the state of Lu who came to the funeral this time happened to be the son. You, that couldn't be better."
Qing's father felt that Qi Hou was smiling, and he didn't know what it was, so he looked at Zhou Tianzi.
Hu Qi was in a dilemma for a while, did Marquis Qi want to talk to the envoy of the State of Lu about ceding the territory at this time?If he said it at this time, it would be too disrespectful to Lu Guo. Isn't this a big slap in the face of Lu Guo in public?
When Hu Qi was hesitating, Marquis Qi also looked over, stared at Hu Qi with a smile, and said, "The Son of Heaven has something to say to the special envoy of the State of Lu?"
When Hu Qi said this, he promised Qihou not to say it before, but just now because of Yao Ji's matter, Qihou sold his face, now it is really difficult to refute Qihou's meaning, so he bites the bullet He smiled and said, "Yes, I have something to tell Mr. Lu Guo, it's like this..."
Hu Qi organized his language. When he said this, all the special envoys from various countries looked over. The hall suddenly fell silent, waiting for Hu Qi to speak. Hu Qi was even more embarrassed, sweating like an emperor. It was his first time too.
Hu Qi coughed, and said: "Because of the eunuch of Lu State's eunuch seducing Wang Ji, I discussed it with Qi Gong. Qi Gong is also a magnanimous person, and he has said all good things for Lu State. Why don't we just leave it like this. The widow is the master, the state of Lu ceded Suiyi, a small city, to the state of Qi, as a token of affection, this matter will be fine, and we must not hurt everyone's harmony."
When everyone heard it, they looked at each other in dismay. The special envoys of several countries gathered together to discuss quickly. There was a murmur of discussion in the hall, and the discussion could not be stopped for a while.
As for Qing's father, when Qing's father heard it, it seemed that a big mouth "snap!" was slapped on his face. Hu Qi said that, and Wang Ji's responsibility was completely pushed away. Besides, it has nothing to do with Wang Ji Although Tong's eunuch was born in the state of Lu, he was also an eunuch in the state of Zhou. To put it bluntly, he had nothing to do with the state of Lu. Qi didn't mention the matter of Ai Jiang, but just pushed Wang Ji's responsibility to the state of Lu.
It is true that Suiyi is a small city, but this small city is too important. It seems to be a power point for bows and arrows. If Qi State gets Suiyi, then Qufu City, the capital of Lu State, will also becomes dangerous.
Father Qing's expression was not good, and he said tentatively in a low voice: "This... Son of Heaven, although the eunuch was born in the Lu country, he has basically never set foot in the Lu country. He is..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Jiao smiled sneeringly at the side. After all, Wu Jiao is also a person who must take revenge, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this? You want to shift the responsibility to the emperor." gone?"
When Hu Qi heard this, he glared at Qing's father. Even if the responsibility belonged to Zhou Guo, he couldn't admit it, so he said, "Young Master Lu, the widow has been given a lighter sentence. It's just a small town. I cut it off and made amends with Duke Qi." , It can be regarded as extrajudicial grace, since the state of Lu has been a state of etiquette since the closure of the country, such impolite and rude behaviors occurred because the ruler of Lu State was not strict in discipline and improperly governed the people, there should be a lesson. "
Qing's father had an old face, and he was slapped from left to right. He was twitched twice, which made him hard to say. If he directly contradicted Hu Qi, even though Hu Qi was the emperor of Zhou who had just ascended the throne, the state of Lu was also quite lonely. Help is missed, after all, other countries are watching the fun, and they will definitely not contradict with themselves.
But if he really agrees and cuts off Suiyi, Duke Lu will definitely beat him up and scold him when he goes back. Qing's father thought it was a good job to go to the funeral this time, to make friends with the new Emperor Zhou, show his face, and go to the funeral There was still a bounty, but it turned out that it didn't work out, and this terrible thing happened.
Qihou just held his wine glass with a smile and said, "Master Lu Guo gave me a correct sentence."
Father Qing was almost driven to panic, his face was pale, his hands were shaking, but he couldn't say a word, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Father Qing, thank the emperor for the light punishment."
Hu Qi was also relieved when he heard him let go, and said with a smile: "You should thank Mr. Qi Gong in large numbers, and you can sign the covenant of land cession in another day."
Qing's father gritted his teeth. In one sentence, a small city was gone, and there were so many adults who had to thank others, his lungs were about to explode with anger.
Wu Jiu raised his wine glass at this moment, and said to Father Qing with a smile: "In the future, we will sign a covenant of ceding land with the State of Lu. It seems that when Jiu and Young Master Lu are at odds, there will be more determinations?"
Qing's father's angry eyes almost caught fire, but it was useless, seeing Wu Jiu's smile, his back molars itch, so he simply turned his head away and didn't look at him.
As soon as the banquet started, Marquis Qi took the lead and let the state of Lu cut off a piece of land in an instant. I am afraid that Qi Guo will target himself again.
But Qi Hou seems to be in a good mood because he got the land of Lu State, with a gentle smile on his face, and a gentle speech, and he will return a toast if someone toasts, he seems to have no airs of a monarch.
After drinking for three rounds, Marquis Qi didn't know if he was drunk, so he stood up holding a full wine glass, smiled and walked in front of the special envoy of the State of Wei, Young Master Wan. Because of his natural cowardice, Young Master Wan sat on the seat, Basically no toast.
He knew that this time was a hard job, after all, Marquis Wei had offended Marquis Qi before, and even got married, not only that, but the assassination was unsuccessful, so Wei Hou sent himself to do this hard job.
Sure enough, Marquis Qi walked over, Young Master Wan hardly dared to look up, Qi Hou looked drunk, and half-jokingly said: "Isn't this Young Master Wan? When I came to the funeral alone, I passed by Weiguo."
Sitting next to him is the special envoy of the State of Chen. The State of Chen is also the Marquis of the State. Huben Zhonglang's wife, Hu Zi, is the State Girl Gui of the State of Chen. The State of Chen has a relationship with the State of Qi. , Then he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is the special envoy of the State of Wei."
Qi Hou smiled, how could he not know who the young master is, and said half-jokingly: "Yes! Gu remembers that when Gu passed by the state of Wei, Duke Wei and Gu said a word."
There was something in Qihou's words, and he was the focus of this banquet. Everyone looked at Qihou, even Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi, and said with a smile: "I don't know what words made Qigong remember so deeply. The widow is also interested in listening."
Everyone thought it was something interesting, but they heard Qi Hou smile faintly, holding up his wine glass, squinting his eyes and said indifferently: "Wei Gong said...he resented Qian Mou, the thief who was taken in by the former king, and he always kept it in his heart." , but suffering from the fact that there is no way to send troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty, Wei Gong also said that now the new king has just ascended the throne, and his wings are still fledgling, and he wants to invite Gu to join forces to take the Luo division directly."
Every time he said a word, everyone was terrified. Hu Qi, who was sitting at the top, simply turned pale, and the special envoy of the Wei State, Young Master Wan, was not any better than Hu Qi, and his hands trembled.
Qi Hou said jokingly, looked down at the young master, and said, "Is Gu right? I remember correctly?"
Young Master Wan hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, Qi Gong is joking, just joking."
Qi Hou laughed "heh", drank the wine in the glass suddenly, and said with a smile: "Really? How does Gu remember it so clearly? Could it be that Wei Gong was joking with Gu at that time?"
The young master hurriedly said with a trembling voice: "Yes, that's right... the widow must be joking, no... you can't count, it's a joke."
Although he said that, everyone else heard it, especially Hu Qi, the new king, who heard the truth. Looking at this attitude, he naturally knew whether it was true or not. It was not easy to get angry at the banquet today, but It doesn't mean that Hu Qi didn't understand Qi Hou's words.
Hu Qi laughed coldly, and said: "It turns out that Wei Gong is a person who likes to tell naughty jokes. I really didn't know it before!"
The young master kept wiping his sweat away, and the special envoys from other countries were also calculating in their hearts. For a banquet, Qihou had already attacked two countries. The first Lu State cut off a piece of land, and this was not an invasion, but compensation. He is a magnanimous teacher of justice.
The second state of Wei was even worse. Although it seemed that there was no loss, it became a thorn in Zhou Tianzi's eyes in an instant. One response, are you afraid that no country will respond to the coalition forces?Weiguo's days to come will probably be like walking on eggshells.
Qi Hou drank the wine in the cup, and then came back and sat down on the table, Wu Jiao saw that his face was slightly red, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is probably drunk, please drink two glasses less."
Qihou laughed and said, "I put on some faces, but I'm not drunk yet."
Wu Jiao thought to himself, if he was really drunk, it would be over. He remembered that day when Marquis Qi was drunk, he turned into a kissing maniac. There are so many special envoys here, it would be a disaster if he made a fool of himself.
But this banquet is not because Qi Hou said that he can stop drinking if he doesn't drink, because Qi Hou made two consecutive appearances, so all the special envoys from other countries came to curry favor with Qi Hou. Wu Jiu was squeezed away.
Some special envoys from small countries came to curry favor with Wu Jiu because they couldn’t talk to Marquis Qi. Wu Jiu felt that he really couldn’t drink any more, so he excused himself by saying that he was going out for a while, and hurried out of the hall, which was full of pleasantries. Compliment the sound.
Wu Jiao came out, wandered casually outside, and took a breath of fresh air. It was already night, and the palace was completely dark. Wu Jiao was standing by the lake blowing a breeze, when he heard someone calling himself.
Wu Jiu looked back, the man was tall and tall, wearing the clothes of a cook, with bronze skin, he looked like a tough guy, but it turned out to be Shi Su.
Since rescuing Shi Su that day, Wu Jiu hadn't seen Shi Su again, so he smiled and said, "Is your injury healed?"
Shi Su hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your kindness, the minister's injuries have all healed."
Wu Jiu said, "That's good."
Shi Su seemed to have something to say, but he knelt down and didn't get up. Wu Jiao said in surprise, "Do you have something to say?"
Shi Su said in a low voice, "Shi Su shouldn't have said this, but Mr. Qi and Duke Qi have kindness to the minister, so Shi Su has to say it."
Seeing his solemn expression, Wu Jiu couldn't help frowning, and said, "What's the matter?"
Shi Su said in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor wanted to marry his younger sister to the Duke of Qi in order to win over the power of Qi, but was declined by the Duke of Qi. The prince gave the emperor an idea, which is today's banquet , added tiger and wolf medicine to Duke Qi’s wine, so that Duke Qi and Sister Wang can achieve good things.”
Wu Jiu heard that Zhou Tianzi wanted Qihou as his brother-in-law, and it was too lowly, and Hu Qi didn't have a brain. After hearing Wang Zitui's attention, if this matter really came to light, Wang Zitui pushed back Five or six, after all he was still a child, Zhou Tianzi would lose all face, if Shi Su hadn't been working in the dining room and overheard it, Wu Jiao reckoned that Marquis Qi would fall into this pit.
Wu Jiu quickly thanked Shi Su, and then walked back quickly. When he returned to the hall, he saw at a glance that his seat was empty and Marquis Qi was not there.
Wu Jiu walked over, grabbed a palace man serving wine at random, and said, "Where is Duke Qi?"
The maid said: "Qi Gong is drunk, the emperor ordered the eunuch to invite Qi Gong to the guest house where he is staying."
When Wu Jiu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, what did he say?
So he turned around and left again, hurried out of the main hall, once he left the main hall, he couldn't care about anything and ran away in a hurry.
Wu Jiu walked to the front of the room, gently opened the door, the outer room was very dark, and a bean lamp was lit in the inner room, a man in black clothes could vaguely be seen lying on the couch, it was Qihou.
Zhou Tianzi's sister-in-law hadn't arrived yet, and there was only Qihou in the room, and everyone else had been sent away, leaving it empty.
Wu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Qi Hou seemed to be very drunk, lying on the couch, his black clothes were a little loose, his brows were frowning, his eyes were closed, and he didn't wake up.
Wu Jiao was afraid that Sister Wang would come over at this time, so he had no choice but to walk over bravely, and hurriedly grabbed Qi Hou, saying: "Your Majesty, there is something in your wine, so hurry up and go with me. I am afraid that Your Majesty will need more wives if it is too late." gone."
Qihou felt hot, had a headache, smelled of alcohol, was extremely dry, and was very uncomfortable. He suddenly heard Wu Jiu's words in his ears. Endure the pain and open your eyes
