Chapter 71
Said: "Zhan Huo, Duke Lu has handed you over to Qi, and the people of Qi will chop you into meat!"
As he spoke, Zhan Huo immediately raised his head, glanced at Zang Chen in surprise, and said, "Big Sikou?"
Zang Chen coughed several times again, his complexion was very ugly, even paler, which did not match his tall figure.
Zang Chen coughed, and said intermittently: "Zhan Huo... I have already said everything I can say, you... just do it yourself."
Zang Chen said that's all, he waved his hand and said: "Detain this rebellious minister and traitor."
Soldiers came outside and detained Zhanhuo, so Zang Chen took Zhanhuo to the Marquis of Qi.
Marquis Qi had already received the news that Zhan Xiong and Wu Jiu had come here first. When Zang Chen detained the people and walked in, he saw Marquis Qi talking to Wu Jiu. The soft-spoken one was afraid that others would not see him. Out of pampering in general.
Zang Chen walked in and escorted Zhanhuo behind him. Zhanxiong immediately looked at Zhanhuo nervously. Zhanhuo's hands and feet were in shackles, and his right wrist was rolled up, revealing a hideous scar. Zhanxiong thought that Zhanhuo was being tortured, so he was going Grab it.
Wu Jiu hurriedly pressed Zhan Xiong's shoulder, signaling him to be calm and calm.
Qihou said with a smile: "Yo, Doctor Zang!"
As he spoke, he even arched his hands, but without sincerity, Zang Chen hurriedly saluted respectfully, and said, "Sinner Zang Chen, I have met Duke Qi."
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said, "Criminal? Why is there such a crime? Isn't it all Zhan Huo's fault?"
Zang Chen was teased for a moment, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Widow ordered Chen to arrest and suppress the sinners, and only rely on Duke Qi to send them down."
Qihou smiled and said: "In your country of Lu, even if you are tall, the monarch listens to his subordinates and even listens to a judge's instigation. Tell me, what's the use of being a monarch? It's better to let the judge Do you want to be the king?"
The Marquis of Qi just taunted Lu Gong, Zang Chen was expressionless, but coughed several times, cupped his hands and said: "What Qi Gong said is true, the trip of the widow is indeed inappropriate, the widow also reflected on himself yesterday, and regretted it, so I did it. Order Chen to hand over the traitor, and leave it to Duke Qi to deal with him."
Qihou waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Duke Lu is a compatriot from the Zhou Dynasty, the fratricide is a joke."
Zang Chen said: "Qi Gong understands righteousness deeply, and he is really a model for the world."
Qihou said with a smile: "Yes, Gu is so understanding of righteousness. If one day Dr. Zang committed a crime in Lu State, Gu will also understand righteousness like this."
Zang Chen was taken aback, bowed his head and said, "Thank you Duke Qi for your righteousness."
Qi Hou waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go back, and give Gu Xiang Lu a message, saying that although Zhanhuo has committed the crime, but Lu Gong disrupted the alliance and offended the majesty of the emperor, it is the most unforgivable, before sunset today Please, Duke Lu take his army of eunuchs and leave the Beixing League, so as not to disturb the dignity of the Son of Heaven!"
Qi Hou said very impolitely, and sneered three times after he finished speaking, Zang Chen covered his mouth and coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, Chen will definitely bring the words, Chen will leave."
Zang Chen said, turned around and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhanhuo, and Zhanhuo also glanced at Zang Chen. Zang Chen didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the big tent.
Zhan Huo was covered with shackles on his hands and feet, so he slowly knelt down and said, "Sinner Zhan Ji, pay respects to Duke Qi, Mr. Qi, and General Zhan."
Qihou waved his hand and said, "All right."
Zhanxiong strode over quickly, helped Zhanhuo up, with a ruthless expression on his face, and said angrily: "Did that filthy Mr. Lu torture you!? What happened to your hand? Let me see !"
Zhan Huo flinched, and said: "It's nothing, old illness, Lu Gong can't set foot in the camp for two days, how can he torture the villain?"
Wu Jiu said, "Fourth brother, quickly unshackle Mr. Zhan."
Zhanxiong patted his head and said, "Exactly."
He said, and hurriedly unshackled Zhanhuo. Once the shackles were undone, Zhanhuo quickly rolled up his sleeves and tidied them up.
Qi Hou sat on the table, sitting upright, very majestic, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhan, I heard that Mr. Zhan is a great talent. He had no ambitions in the country of Lu. Now that he has come to Qi, how can he have ambitions?"
Zhan Huo looked at Marquis Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Please also announce it to the public."
Qihou said with a smile: "As soon as you open your mouth, Gu will know that you are not sincere."
Zhan Huo was surprised, but Qi Hou was not angry, and said: "You still call Gu Gong Qi, not your lord, and the country of Lu humiliated you like this. Do you still have the so-called mother country in your heart?"
Zhan Huo didn't speak, and Qi Hou said again: "It's not your fault, after all, Mr. Zhan deals with people directly, and there is no king in the world who doesn't like to be tactful."
Wu Jiu glanced at Qihou, and Qihou continued, "But Mr. Zhan, don't worry, Gu here likes to listen to straight-forward words. If it's tactful, Gu won't like to see you."
Wu Jiu couldn't help snickering in his heart, and Qihou also said that he likes to be straightforward?In fact, he also likes to listen to flattery the most, but on the one hand, Qi Hou likes to listen to flattery, and on the other hand, he can clearly distinguish which one is flattering.
Zhan Huo looked at Qi Hou in surprise, and Qi Hou said: "The reason why Gu Guan Lu Guo asked for Mr. Zhan is not because of the face of the fourth brother, but because Mr. Zhan is indeed talented, and Qi Guo is in need of such a talent." Mr. Zhan can rest assured that he is a great talent who deals directly with people."
Zhan Huo hesitated, but still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you... Your Majesty."
Qihou smiled and said: "That's right, Mr. Zhan has also suffered for the past two days. Go back and rest first, and the alliance is over. After two days, when the princes of various countries are sent away, they will also set off. These days Do your best to cultivate yourself well, so that you can share your worries for the country.”
Zhan Huo cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qihou waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, oh yes, fourth brother, you send Mr. Zhan back, you two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good chat."
Zhanxiong was nervous just now, but now he was awkward again, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to talk about."
With some bitterness on his brows, Zhanhuo bowed his hands and left the tent.
The alliance of princes signed a document to jointly crusade against the state of Sui, and the matter came to an end. The princes of various countries will leave Beixing one after another in the past few days.
The country of Lu was the first to leave. Because of the "repayment" of the exhibition, the country of Lu ran away with its tail between its legs. There was no need for Marquis Qi to coax people, and there was no one at dusk.
In a few days, Qi State will also leave, but they are landlords, so they have to wait for all the princes from other countries to leave before they can go back to Linzi City. Taking advantage of these days, Wu Jiao will take good care of himself.
Wu Jiu’s injuries were all external injuries. Although it was ferocious, it was not deep. It healed after two days of treatment, but it should not be exposed to water, and the dressing should be changed frequently. However, it was the right arm that was injured, which was tightly bandaged. They all need to use a small dagger with their left hand, which is really distressing.
And Wu Jiu didn't have much injuries on his hands, it was his arms that were injured, and the bandages were a bit too exaggerated, but Qi Hou said very righteously that he was afraid that Wu Jiu would make a mess and the wound would burst.
So these two days, every meal was eaten by Qi Hou and Wu Jiu together, and Qi Hou also hand in hand fed Wu Jiu. dagger.
But ever since Wu Jiao brought up this matter, Wu Jiao has keenly discovered that there is nothing that can be served with a small dagger in every meal after that, even the meat is cut into thin and long shreds!
Wu Jiu was quite puzzled by the plate of slender shredded pork, which cook made this meal?Cut the shredded pork like shredded cabbage, why not just chop it into meat floss? !
As a result, Wu Jiu's small dagger was useless at all, and he couldn't scoop it up, so he could only let Qihou feed him with a smile.
Wu Jiu compromised for two days, and this day was the day to send Duke Song off, because Song Gongyu said he was the Duke, so the send-off should be more grand.
Wu Jiu got up early, put on decent clothes, Ziqing tidied up his clothes, and put the little Yudun around his waist, everything was in order, it was still early, so Wu Jiu went out of the camp for a walk.
He walked out of the tent, and happened to see Zhanxiong, who was on patrol, inspecting the guarding soldiers.
As Zhanxiong was walking, he saw Wu Jiu, hurried over and said, "Second Brother, how are you?"
Wu Jiu looked down at himself and said, "What do you think?"
Zhanxiong smiled and said, "My younger brother thinks that my second elder brother looks good."
Wu Jiu also felt that, in the past few days, Marquis Qi kept feeding, feeding, or feeding, and Wu Jiu wished to eat four or five meals a day, as well as extra meals. Every meal was the most nourishing, such as turtle soup, deer soup, etc. Meat, wolf meat, all kinds of fish, all kinds of fish, the gums are swollen after eating.
Wu Jiu felt that he was fat, without any muscle, his belly was about to come out, and there was some flesh on his cheeks, which felt soft to the touch.
The two were talking when they saw Zhan Huo coming out of the small camp. He was wearing the official uniform of the Qi State, and he was arranging his official hat as he came out. Because he was going to send off Song Gong today, all the officials in the Qi State had to send him off. , the exhibition naturally also needs to be present.
As soon as Zhan Huo came out, he saw Wu Jiu and Zhan Xiong talking. He wanted to avoid it, but Zhan Xiong strode over uncharacteristically and said, "Brother!"
Zhan Huo's heart trembled when he called him big brother, and he looked at Zhan Xiong in surprise, Zhan Xiong grabbed Zhan Huo, pulled him to Wu Jiu's side, and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell me, the wrist injury must be Take the blame for me!"
Zhan Huo was taken aback, and quickly said, "No..."
Zhanxiong said: "Brother don't need to lie, my younger brother has heard what you said. If it wasn't because my elder brother suffered for me, how could those people from the state of Lu let me go? Back then, my younger brother was reckless and short-sighted, which made my elder brother waste his time." , I still resent elder brother for so many years...Elder brother, you can scold younger brother a few times, and I will feel better."
Zhanhuo's face changed from being stiff to relieved, and he sighed and said, "How could I scold you? Although you are a bit reckless, you are better than me. You are really temperamental, and you are my own brother. This is what a big brother should do." Things to do."
When Zhanxiong heard what Zhanhuo said, he felt even more uncomfortable. His eldest brother was superior in martial arts, but now he has become a useless person. He has been a judge in Lu State for so many years. The more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels. I don't know that my eldest brother has done so many things for himself.
Zhanxiong pulled Zhanhuo and said, "No, you'd better scold me, or I'll really feel sorry."
Seeing that their brothers were back together, Wu Jiu wanted to go away first and let them talk about the past, but at this time, Song Gong came over, chuckled lightly, and said to Zhan Xiong: "Hey, General Zhan, where did you come from?" The beautiful girl? You've been chatting like this since early in the morning."
When Zhanxiong heard that this beautiful lady was probably talking about his elder brother, he immediately glared at Yu and said, now that Zhanxiong knew that Zhanhuo had taken the blame for him, he had hurt his wrist, lost his right hand, couldn't even hold a cup, and was still holding the cup. Trembling, feeling grateful and regretful in his heart, naturally he couldn't let others say that his elder brother said no.
Song Gong didn't know that Zhan Huo was his elder brother. Zhan Xiong was famous for his beauty. Although there were many women before, Yu said he knew that he could treat men as well. He also has a kind of tall and straight heroic posture, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye, so he was misunderstood.
The two were still holding hands intimately, when had Zhanxiong been so gentle before, Yu immediately said that his teeth were itching, and opened his mouth to taunt a few words.
Zhan Xiong is a standard brother control, when he heard Yu talk about his elder brother's fault, he immediately exploded like a firecracker.
Zhanxiong said coldly: "What kind of joke is Mr. Song doing? If Mr. Song still humiliates people at will, Zhanxiong will not be polite."
When Yu said that, he was almost blown away. He smiled coldly and said, "Oh? It seems that Gu Ke has hit General Zhan's heart? Speaking of which, when has General Zhan ever been polite?"
Wu Jiao saw that the two were confronting each other, and although Zhan Xiong had Yu's reasoning, Yu said that he was Song Gong anyway, so he couldn't get into trouble with him, so he rushed to confront the peacemaker.
But at this time, Qi Hou just came out, and said with a smile: "Is it so lively early in the morning?"
When the crowd saw Marquis Qi coming, they had no choice but to give up. Wu Jiuzhan was handed over by Zhanxiong and said, "My lord."
Song Gong also cupped his hands, very unwilling, and said lightly: "I have seen the leader."
Although the meeting is over, but before leaving Beixing, Marquis Qi is the leader of the coalition, Duke Song still wants to see the ceremony, Marquis Qi said with a smile: "Grand Song is out."
Everyone went outside together, Qihou personally sent Duke Song out of the gate of Xingyuan, and said with a smile: "Duke Song responded positively to this alliance. The leader of this alliance will write a book and report it to the emperor. Please rest assured, Duke Song." .”
Yu Shuo cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's really a thank you to the leader."
As he spoke, he arched his hands again, then stretched his long legs, and the black sleeved robe fluttered with a "crash", jumped onto the cart, supported the pillar of the cart with one hand, and pressed the sword at his waist with the other, and said with a smile: " correct."
He said, instead of talking to Qi Hou, he turned to Wu Jiu, and said with a smile: "I said this trip, and I am very close to you. If you have difficulties in the future, you can help me, just ask me." , Yu said that I will help you with all my strength!"
He said, smiled again, raised his eyebrows and said: "Perhaps, one day the young master has no place to stay, he must come to my country of Song, and the city gates of the Song country will be opened for the young master at any time."
Song Gongyu just talked, smiled, ignored Qi Hou's cold face, and said loudly: "Let's go!"
As soon as his words fell, the car made a sparkling sound of wheels, and quickly left in the dust.
Qihou naturally knew what Song Gong meant, because before the shogunate, Qihou said a lot of absolute words in order to delay time and distract Lu Gong. Although everyone knew that this was delaying time, but the speaker If you didn't have that kind of thought, how could you come up with such a thing?
Everyone is also clear in their hearts that it seems that Young Master Jiu is not of the blood of the Qi State at all. If it is not for the blood of the Qi State, he is an evil son of the Lu State who confuses the blood and insults the blood. possible.
After Song Gongyi reminded Wu Jiu, he also thought that this trip back to Linzi city would probably cause a lot of trouble. Although he knew that Qihou was an expedient measure, the officials of Qi State would definitely make a fuss about it.
Fortunately, Wu Jiu did not have the slightest nostalgia for the position of son, if he really had nostalgia, he might have broken up with Marquis Qi because of this incident.
Qi Hou glared at Yu Shuo's back, but Yu said he was running so fast that there was nothing he could do, so he had to turn around to look at Wu Jiu. Seeing Wu Jiu was in a daze, he hurriedly said, "Second brother, don't think so much. Go back to your tent."
Wu Jiu quickly regained his senses and followed Qi Hou back to the tent.
All the monarchs left within two days, and the monarch of Zhu was the last to leave. When the crusade against Sui was settled, Cao Ke, the monarch of Zhu, would visit Qi in person.
Soon the Northern Xinghui League was over. Except for the incident of being held hostage by Duke Lu, there was nothing wrong with it. Everything went according to what Marquis Qi wanted, and Marquis Qi was about to go back.
Back to Linzi City, it would take up to five days, but Qihou spent seven days all the way because he was worried that Wu Jiu's wound would open!
For seven whole days, Wu Jiu felt that what he was riding was not a carriage, but a mule cart...
The carriage kept going forward every day. It was the first time that Wu Jiu didn't get motion sickness. He couldn't get dizzy at all. He felt that he had already reached the end of the journey on foot.
Seven days later, Wu Jiu's wound had scabbed off once, and he finally returned to Linzi City, entered the palace, went back to the house without saying a word, and fell asleep.
Yan'e didn't follow this time. She was in the palace of Qi, but she also heard that something happened to the young master. The young master did not belong to the blood of the Qi state. It caused a commotion in Linzi city. It's just Qi, and even other countries are buzzing.
Someone must be obstructing this incident, spreading it on purpose, and maliciously slandering Wu Jiu, Yan E anxiously told Wu Jiao about this matter.
Wu Jiao was lying on the couch, he didn't bother to get up at all, and said: "It's nothing, I can figure it out with my heels, it must be Wei Guo who did it."
There are a total of six countries in the alliance. Cai Guo and Chen Guo are small countries. They dare not spread such things and can only wait and see what happens. The king of Zhu Guo wants to attach himself to Qi, so he will never say such things. Although Lu Guo I hate Qi State, but now Lu State is too busy to take care of itself, and absolutely dare not do such a thing. Although Song Gong was at odds with Qi State, he threw an olive branch to Wu Jiao before leaving, and said that there was something in the hands of Qi Hou. , naturally would not do such a thing.
Then there is only one Wei country left.
Wei State and Qi State have already discussed the matter of water canals, and Qi Houben is about to withdraw his troops from Jin State. After all, he does not really want to dig water canals. In the era when there were no sneak attacks in wars, if it really drowned the people in the city, it would definitely be an immoral tongue.
Therefore, Marquis Qi didn't want to do this. He just wanted to frighten Weiguo. Weiguo had already negotiated peace, but if he wanted to save face, he naturally wanted to spread the matter of the son's correction, so that other countries would laugh at Qiguo for raising his son for others.
Qi Hou also heard about this matter, and was very angry, but because he didn't want Wu Jiu to worry about it, after all, Qi Hou always felt that Wu Jiao was very sensitive about Young Master Jiu's life experience, he didn't know that Wu Jiao was actually not sensitive to this.
No one told Wu Jiao, only Yan'e didn't know, and said bluntly, Ziqing was ordered by Qi Hou, don't let Wu Jiao know about this, lest Wu Jiao's mood is bad, which is not conducive to his recovery.
Ziqing glanced helplessly at Yan'e, who asked suspiciously, "Brother Ziqing, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Ziqing: "..."
But Wu Jiu wasn't worried at all, his right hand managed to tear off the layers of cloth, and when he was free, he went back to his own room, rolled on the couch several times, hugged the quilt and kissed, saying : "What is there to worry about?"
Yan'e said, "My lord, do you have a solution?"
Wu Jiu smiled and hooked his fingers at Ziqing, Ziqing's eyelids twitched wildly, walked over boldly, and said, "My lord, what do you want?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Ziqing, go and tell the king that the people of Wei are just lip-syncing and farting. Qi is a big country, so we can't be rude to them."
Ziqing's eyelids twitched wildly, what the hell is "putting two farts"?
Wu Jiu said again: "Well, the state of Qi rented the land of the state of Jin for ten years, and all the money was given, so we can't rent it in vain. Don't let the soldiers who dig the canals come back. Let's not dig the canals, but dig the fields instead. Those soldiers are breaking ground next to Weiguo every day..."
As Wu Jiu said, he sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't believe it anymore. The people of Wei see their borders being torn apart every day. How can they survive? Scaring them to death."
When Yan E heard it, she immediately clapped her hands and said, "What a good idea! Young Master, what you said is really good, brother Ziqing, hurry up and talk to Jun Shang!"
Ziqing was so helpless, Wu Jiao waved his hand, Ziqing had no choice but to walk out of the house, thinking as he walked, since his secret identity was exposed, the young master not only did not scold him, but regarded himself as an errand.
Ziqing thought again, Mr. Xing didn't know what he was thinking, but he fell in love with Yan'e. If he really married Yan'e back and became his wife, he might become the master of the princes of Fenghuo Opera!
Ziqing thought so, but walked out of the house helplessly, and walked to Qihou's bedroom.
Wu Jiu came back and had a long sleep. The next morning, Marquis Qi needed to go to the court, but Wu Jiu didn't need it, so he slept all the time.
Compared with Wu Jiu's leisure, Qi Hou got up early, let the eunuch take care of him to wash and tidy, had breakfast, and then went to the palace to go to court.
Today is the first early court after returning from the Northern Apricot League, so it is very important. When Qi Hou entered the main hall of the Lu Palace, all the civil and military officials had already stood in line, and Young Master Wu Kui and Young Master Zhao had also stood up.
Although Young Master Wu Kui is the eldest son, but now Young Master Zhao is the Young Master of Jian Guo, so Young Master Zhao is at the forefront.
For more than a month, Qi Hou felt that Young Master Zhao seemed to have grown up a bit, and he was about the same height as Young Master Wukui. In addition, he didn't know if Jian Guo was too tired, so the baby's fat and fleshy flesh on Young Master Zhao's face was almost gone. Yes, a face with sharp edges and corners, with narrow and powerful eyes, looks a lot handsomer, and seems to have grown a lot.
Qihou sat down, let all the ministers sit down, and said: "Although there were some troubles in the middle of the alliance, it was considered smooth. There is a big event right now, which is the crusade against Suiguo. This matter will be announced at the alliance ceremony Above, I have already discussed with the princes, and the situation of sending troops from various countries has also been discussed, and the only thing left is to report to the emperor, and the emperor will make a decision."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wang Zicheng's father, and said, "Da Sima."
Prince Cheng's father immediately stood up and said, "The humble general is here."
Qihou said: "Although the emperor has not opened his mouth to crusade, there are nine out of ten crusades. For food, grass, food, and infantry, Da Sima has an idea in mind."
Wang Zicheng's father immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I understand."
After speaking, Wang Zicheng's father sat back on the mat again.
Qihou is in a good mood today. After all, it has been more than a month since he left Linzi City, and he feels very cordial after returning, especially the North Apricot League was successfully resolved. In addition, yesterday afternoon, Qihou received Wu Jiu's opinion again, and he has sent an edict Order to the Qi army in the state of Jin, let them take advantage of the sunshine, stop digging canals, dig farmland instead, and work day and night without stopping, so that the people of Wei state are worried.
In this way, Marquis Qi has nothing on his mind, just waiting for the order from Emperor Zhou to attack Suiguo justifiably, can he be in a bad mood?
Qihou glanced at the crowd and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Everyone was silent, but Guan Yiwu stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Lu Yi that was prepared a few days ago is very appropriate. Now all the merchants in Lu State are selling Lu Xi, and no one is farming. The Lu State is not good now. Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to forbid the merchants of the state of Lu to sell Lu onyx."
Qi Hou smiled secretly, thinking that this is the case. He has been encouraging Lu Gong merchants to sell Lu onyx before, not only for the large profits, but also the policy encouragement. Now there are Lu merchants selling Lu onyx everywhere. Qihou What we are waiting for is the day when the sale of Luxuan is completely banned.
As long as there is a complete ban, large quantities of Luxuan cannot be sold, and there will be a phenomenon of hoarding and overstocking, and the news will still lag to a certain extent, so that no one is plowing the fields in Lu State, and they are still weaving cloth. slumped.
Qihou laughed and said: "Okay, what Doctor Guan said is exactly, let's do it like this, and Doctor Guan will preside over this matter himself."
Guan Yiwu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Yiwu receives the imperial edict."
After Guan Yiwu withdrew, no one spoke for a while, and Qihou said: "Since there is nothing wrong..."
He hadn't finished his sentence yet, at this time the doctor Shenyou stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more matter, which is of great importance, please Your Majesty make a decision."
Qihou said: "Oh? What is it?"
Shenyou cupped his hands and said, "It's the young master's matter."
When he said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Now in the court, among the top officials, Yiwu Bao Shuya, among the top officials, Hu Dongguo Ya Zhanhuo, and among the generals, Shi Su, Cao GUI and Zhanxiong, can be said to be all from the party of Prince Jiu. When he spoke like this, everyone looked at each other.
Qihou laughed, looked at Shenyou, and said indifferently: "What is Shenqing talking about?"
Shenyou said: "Nowadays the identity of Young Master Jiu is causing a lot of noise. Young Master Jiu is not from my old Qi. All countries are already rumors. You secretly think that Young Master Jiu should not pretend to be a Young Master anymore. Your Majesty should correct the etiquette and laws of Qi. , can’t let some little mermaids with ulterior motives fool them.”
Qihou laughed, and said lightly: "Shenqing, you are wrong. Young Master Jiu is indeed Gu's second elder brother. Although he is indeed not of the blood of Qi, but when they formed an alliance in Beixing a few days ago, Gu and Young Master Jiu, Zhan The general has sworn obeisance, I respectfully tell heaven and earth, son Jiu is still son Jiu."
When he said this, everyone looked sideways, they didn't expect that Marquis Qi would marry Wu Jiu Zhanxiong.
When Shenyou heard this, he was a little anxious, and said: "This... Your Majesty, it is really against the rules of etiquette to confuse the blood of the Qi State..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Marquis Qi interrupted him, saying: "Then...according to Qing Shen's opinion, what should we do?"
You Shenyou thought that Marquis Qi really asked him what he meant, so he said righteously: "Young master confuses the blood of the Qi State, shames the nobles of the Qi State, and invites the ridicule of the world. , should be severely punished, so as to rectify the prestige of Qi State!"
When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately became angry. Even if Wu Jiu is not of Qi blood, it is not up to Wu Jiu to decide on his own. Who can decide for himself what his status will be when he is born?
Zhao Hu angrily stretched out his hand to hold the saber on his waist, and quickly pressed Dong Guo Ya on his shoulder. Zhao Hu glanced at Dong Guo Ya, and Dong Guo Ya whispered: "Do not be impatient, Doctor Zhong. Anxiety, Your Majesty will deal with it."
Zhao Hu was in a hurry, and Shen You was complacent, but Qi Hou suddenly laughed "haha" and said, "Okay, okay."
As he spoke, he stood up slowly, walked down the stage, and stepped down the steps step by step. The laughter suddenly stopped, and he stopped drinking and said: "You are so brave, Shenyou! Since you speak so clearly , the justice is awe-inspiring, then Gu, the position of the monarch, let you sit, okay?!"
At first, Shenyou heard Qihou laughing, and thought that Qihou also thought his method was good, but Qihou suddenly became angry, so frightened that Shenyou knelt down on the ground with a "gudong!"
Shenyou turned pale with fright, wiped his sweat again and again, and said in a low voice: "The villain... the villain is guilty, the villain is guilty..."
When Zhao Hu heard this, he was relieved.
Qi Hou glanced at the crowd and said, "Young Master Jiu, how much did you do for the country of Qi? In the summer time, you went to Ju as an envoy, but you did your best? The emperor married a princess and almost made a joke of the Qi country, but the son Jiu Contribute to calm down? When Wei Guo and Lu Guo bullied their families and bullied us on top of Qi Guo, but Young Master Jiu proposed to dig water canals, and scare off the Wei Guo people without bloodshed?"
Qi Hou asked three questions in a row, and said: "Such a person can do great things alone, how can he convince the people of the world?!"
Qihou said, and then said: "Go and ask the young master to rectify."
After he finished speaking, the eunuch next to him quickly said, "Yes, I'll go right away, my servant."
He said that's all, and ran away after rolling and crawling, rushing out from the bedroom palace all the way, and hurried to ask Wu Jiao to come over.
Qi Hou and other eunuchs walked out of the hall, and said: "Okay, if you all feel that the young master should not be this young master, then Gu will not let him be this young master."
Shenyou knelt on the ground, not knowing what to say, he was too frightened to look up, full of suspicion in his heart, Qihou lost his temper just now, why didn't he let Wu Jiao be the son again?
I heard Qi Hou say quietly: "Lv Jiu gave porridge with the people in Liangqiu, and donated his savings in Linzi to the national treasury every month. He is a person with ambition. Such talents, I will give him This position, do you have any opinions?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one spoke, so Qihou said flatly: "Then give him... the position of chief minister."
As soon as he said this, the Lu Palace instantly boiled up. Although all the ministers whispered to each other, there were too many people who couldn't hold back the words, after all, they were all shocked.
What is the position of Dasinong?In fact, it is not what it seems literally. In the position of managing agriculture, Da Si Nong is the national financial and economic officer, responsible for various taxation, agriculture, commerce, general management of salt and iron, and various official operations.
In this era of cold weapons, everyone understands a truth. Salt means money, and iron means power. The reason why Tan Guo is tyrannical is because Tan Guo is a big salt farm, so rich, so don't look at there are no soldiers. But very confident.
The position of Da Si Nong is to manage all the economic lifelines of the Qi country. In simple terms, it is a fat and fat difference.
Qi Hou said indifferently: "The former chief minister just resigned from office, so the position of chief minister is vacant, and it happens to be filled by Lu Jiu. Do you have any objections?"
Shenyou didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot with a stone. As a young master, Wu Jiu doesn't have any real power. He can only be a great pedestrian today, which is equivalent to a Chinese doctor, and a special envoy tomorrow, which is equivalent to a doctor. It is a temporary position.
Now that the Marquis of Qi is opening his mouth, he wants to promise Wu Jiu the official position of Da Si Nong, what is that equivalent to?
It is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the country.
Da Sima is in charge of the military power of Qi State, and Da Si Nong is in charge of the economic lifeline of Qi State. The civil and military affairs are the two most important positions. Officials who make admonitions must be loyal but not die. These are all official positions based on soldiers and money, and they must be based on Da Sima and Da Sinog.
Therefore, Da Sinong must be the confidant of the monarch, and to put it bluntly, he is the favorite of the favorite ministers. Otherwise, how can the monarch entrust his own money to the management of Da Sinong?
Everyone was discussing in low voices for a while, Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on with Marquis Qi, he was wrapped in the quilt, and he was intimate with the quilt, dreaming of eating omelet rice, rich and mellow egg skin, when cut open, it was full of salty white rice and All kinds of side dishes, before they put a mouthful into their mouths, they heard the voices of Ziqing and Yan'e urging their lives: "Young master! Young master! Something is wrong! Get up quickly! Young master, wake up!"
Wu Jiao's omelette was woken up before he could eat it, and seeing the eunuch beside Qihou was also urging his life, he didn't know what happened, so he had to wash and get dressed in a hurry, and didn't even eat Without taking a sip of water, he trotted quickly and followed the eunuch to the bedroom.
Wu Jiu said on the way, "May I ask what is the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The eunuch didn't dare to say anything, just said: "Young master will know when he goes."
Wu Jiu had no choice but to rush into the main hall. When he entered the main hall, the hall was still clamoring "Wu Yang Wu Yang". If he didn't know it, he thought he had entered a supermarket, and the rhythm of the audience was 50% off...
As soon as Wu Jiao walked in, Wu Yang Wu Yang's voice suddenly disappeared, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Jiao. Wu Jiao's scalp felt a little numb for a moment, he coughed lightly, and quickly Walking in, he greeted respectfully and said, "Correcting to see you, Your Majesty."
Seeing Wu Jiu walk in, Qi Hou finally softened his face and said, "Second brother, don't be too polite, just sit down."
Wu Jiu hurriedly sat down on the extra seat next to him, and he could still feel the burning gaze of the crowd. At the same time, Wu Jiu also found that, while everyone was sitting, Shenyou was actually kneeling in the middle of the main hall, with his hands wrapped around him. In the ear, the head hits the ground, has not dared to raise the head.
Wu corrected his doubts, and felt that the atmosphere today was a little different, probably because he didn't go to court very much...
I heard Qi Hou say with a smile: "Second brother just came, and I am talking about second brother alone with all the high officials."
Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh, but said calmly, "I don't know what is wrong with Jiu? Or something wrong?"
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Second brother is too modest, it's not something inappropriate, but the officials feel that the second brother should be given a decent official position."
Wu Jiu was surprised for a while, the officials want to give him an official position?I'm afraid it's not like that, after all, it just came out that Young Master Jiu is not of Qi's bloodline, and Wu Jiu knows it without thinking, it's definitely not as good as what Qihou said.
The officials wisely did not open their mouths, and Qi Hou said with a smile: "I have been thinking about it for a long time. It is really too distressing to know what position will not be overqualified, but can make the best use of it. Finally, I finally thought that it happened that the Da Sinong had just passed away a few days ago. Let the old man resign, how about letting the second brother take up the important task of being the chief farmer?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was almost surprised, Da Sinong?
The first reaction in his mind was...a lot of money.
Wu Jiu hastily coughed softly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am really ashamed of showing love to you. The chief minister of farming is an important position in the country. Jue's talents are ignorant and his qualifications are still relatively clear. I really dare not take on such a leader. I am afraid that I will betray your majesty's trust. "
As Wu Jiu said so, suddenly a person stood up, his status was not too high among the crowd, but
As he spoke, Zhan Huo immediately raised his head, glanced at Zang Chen in surprise, and said, "Big Sikou?"
Zang Chen coughed several times again, his complexion was very ugly, even paler, which did not match his tall figure.
Zang Chen coughed, and said intermittently: "Zhan Huo... I have already said everything I can say, you... just do it yourself."
Zang Chen said that's all, he waved his hand and said: "Detain this rebellious minister and traitor."
Soldiers came outside and detained Zhanhuo, so Zang Chen took Zhanhuo to the Marquis of Qi.
Marquis Qi had already received the news that Zhan Xiong and Wu Jiu had come here first. When Zang Chen detained the people and walked in, he saw Marquis Qi talking to Wu Jiu. The soft-spoken one was afraid that others would not see him. Out of pampering in general.
Zang Chen walked in and escorted Zhanhuo behind him. Zhanxiong immediately looked at Zhanhuo nervously. Zhanhuo's hands and feet were in shackles, and his right wrist was rolled up, revealing a hideous scar. Zhanxiong thought that Zhanhuo was being tortured, so he was going Grab it.
Wu Jiu hurriedly pressed Zhan Xiong's shoulder, signaling him to be calm and calm.
Qihou said with a smile: "Yo, Doctor Zang!"
As he spoke, he even arched his hands, but without sincerity, Zang Chen hurriedly saluted respectfully, and said, "Sinner Zang Chen, I have met Duke Qi."
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said, "Criminal? Why is there such a crime? Isn't it all Zhan Huo's fault?"
Zang Chen was teased for a moment, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Widow ordered Chen to arrest and suppress the sinners, and only rely on Duke Qi to send them down."
Qihou smiled and said: "In your country of Lu, even if you are tall, the monarch listens to his subordinates and even listens to a judge's instigation. Tell me, what's the use of being a monarch? It's better to let the judge Do you want to be the king?"
The Marquis of Qi just taunted Lu Gong, Zang Chen was expressionless, but coughed several times, cupped his hands and said: "What Qi Gong said is true, the trip of the widow is indeed inappropriate, the widow also reflected on himself yesterday, and regretted it, so I did it. Order Chen to hand over the traitor, and leave it to Duke Qi to deal with him."
Qihou waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Duke Lu is a compatriot from the Zhou Dynasty, the fratricide is a joke."
Zang Chen said: "Qi Gong understands righteousness deeply, and he is really a model for the world."
Qihou said with a smile: "Yes, Gu is so understanding of righteousness. If one day Dr. Zang committed a crime in Lu State, Gu will also understand righteousness like this."
Zang Chen was taken aback, bowed his head and said, "Thank you Duke Qi for your righteousness."
Qi Hou waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go back, and give Gu Xiang Lu a message, saying that although Zhanhuo has committed the crime, but Lu Gong disrupted the alliance and offended the majesty of the emperor, it is the most unforgivable, before sunset today Please, Duke Lu take his army of eunuchs and leave the Beixing League, so as not to disturb the dignity of the Son of Heaven!"
Qi Hou said very impolitely, and sneered three times after he finished speaking, Zang Chen covered his mouth and coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, Chen will definitely bring the words, Chen will leave."
Zang Chen said, turned around and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhanhuo, and Zhanhuo also glanced at Zang Chen. Zang Chen didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the big tent.
Zhan Huo was covered with shackles on his hands and feet, so he slowly knelt down and said, "Sinner Zhan Ji, pay respects to Duke Qi, Mr. Qi, and General Zhan."
Qihou waved his hand and said, "All right."
Zhanxiong strode over quickly, helped Zhanhuo up, with a ruthless expression on his face, and said angrily: "Did that filthy Mr. Lu torture you!? What happened to your hand? Let me see !"
Zhan Huo flinched, and said: "It's nothing, old illness, Lu Gong can't set foot in the camp for two days, how can he torture the villain?"
Wu Jiu said, "Fourth brother, quickly unshackle Mr. Zhan."
Zhanxiong patted his head and said, "Exactly."
He said, and hurriedly unshackled Zhanhuo. Once the shackles were undone, Zhanhuo quickly rolled up his sleeves and tidied them up.
Qi Hou sat on the table, sitting upright, very majestic, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhan, I heard that Mr. Zhan is a great talent. He had no ambitions in the country of Lu. Now that he has come to Qi, how can he have ambitions?"
Zhan Huo looked at Marquis Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Please also announce it to the public."
Qihou said with a smile: "As soon as you open your mouth, Gu will know that you are not sincere."
Zhan Huo was surprised, but Qi Hou was not angry, and said: "You still call Gu Gong Qi, not your lord, and the country of Lu humiliated you like this. Do you still have the so-called mother country in your heart?"
Zhan Huo didn't speak, and Qi Hou said again: "It's not your fault, after all, Mr. Zhan deals with people directly, and there is no king in the world who doesn't like to be tactful."
Wu Jiu glanced at Qihou, and Qihou continued, "But Mr. Zhan, don't worry, Gu here likes to listen to straight-forward words. If it's tactful, Gu won't like to see you."
Wu Jiu couldn't help snickering in his heart, and Qihou also said that he likes to be straightforward?In fact, he also likes to listen to flattery the most, but on the one hand, Qi Hou likes to listen to flattery, and on the other hand, he can clearly distinguish which one is flattering.
Zhan Huo looked at Qi Hou in surprise, and Qi Hou said: "The reason why Gu Guan Lu Guo asked for Mr. Zhan is not because of the face of the fourth brother, but because Mr. Zhan is indeed talented, and Qi Guo is in need of such a talent." Mr. Zhan can rest assured that he is a great talent who deals directly with people."
Zhan Huo hesitated, but still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you... Your Majesty."
Qihou smiled and said: "That's right, Mr. Zhan has also suffered for the past two days. Go back and rest first, and the alliance is over. After two days, when the princes of various countries are sent away, they will also set off. These days Do your best to cultivate yourself well, so that you can share your worries for the country.”
Zhan Huo cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qihou waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, oh yes, fourth brother, you send Mr. Zhan back, you two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good chat."
Zhanxiong was nervous just now, but now he was awkward again, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to talk about."
With some bitterness on his brows, Zhanhuo bowed his hands and left the tent.
The alliance of princes signed a document to jointly crusade against the state of Sui, and the matter came to an end. The princes of various countries will leave Beixing one after another in the past few days.
The country of Lu was the first to leave. Because of the "repayment" of the exhibition, the country of Lu ran away with its tail between its legs. There was no need for Marquis Qi to coax people, and there was no one at dusk.
In a few days, Qi State will also leave, but they are landlords, so they have to wait for all the princes from other countries to leave before they can go back to Linzi City. Taking advantage of these days, Wu Jiao will take good care of himself.
Wu Jiu’s injuries were all external injuries. Although it was ferocious, it was not deep. It healed after two days of treatment, but it should not be exposed to water, and the dressing should be changed frequently. However, it was the right arm that was injured, which was tightly bandaged. They all need to use a small dagger with their left hand, which is really distressing.
And Wu Jiu didn't have much injuries on his hands, it was his arms that were injured, and the bandages were a bit too exaggerated, but Qi Hou said very righteously that he was afraid that Wu Jiu would make a mess and the wound would burst.
So these two days, every meal was eaten by Qi Hou and Wu Jiu together, and Qi Hou also hand in hand fed Wu Jiu. dagger.
But ever since Wu Jiao brought up this matter, Wu Jiao has keenly discovered that there is nothing that can be served with a small dagger in every meal after that, even the meat is cut into thin and long shreds!
Wu Jiu was quite puzzled by the plate of slender shredded pork, which cook made this meal?Cut the shredded pork like shredded cabbage, why not just chop it into meat floss? !
As a result, Wu Jiu's small dagger was useless at all, and he couldn't scoop it up, so he could only let Qihou feed him with a smile.
Wu Jiu compromised for two days, and this day was the day to send Duke Song off, because Song Gongyu said he was the Duke, so the send-off should be more grand.
Wu Jiu got up early, put on decent clothes, Ziqing tidied up his clothes, and put the little Yudun around his waist, everything was in order, it was still early, so Wu Jiu went out of the camp for a walk.
He walked out of the tent, and happened to see Zhanxiong, who was on patrol, inspecting the guarding soldiers.
As Zhanxiong was walking, he saw Wu Jiu, hurried over and said, "Second Brother, how are you?"
Wu Jiu looked down at himself and said, "What do you think?"
Zhanxiong smiled and said, "My younger brother thinks that my second elder brother looks good."
Wu Jiu also felt that, in the past few days, Marquis Qi kept feeding, feeding, or feeding, and Wu Jiu wished to eat four or five meals a day, as well as extra meals. Every meal was the most nourishing, such as turtle soup, deer soup, etc. Meat, wolf meat, all kinds of fish, all kinds of fish, the gums are swollen after eating.
Wu Jiu felt that he was fat, without any muscle, his belly was about to come out, and there was some flesh on his cheeks, which felt soft to the touch.
The two were talking when they saw Zhan Huo coming out of the small camp. He was wearing the official uniform of the Qi State, and he was arranging his official hat as he came out. Because he was going to send off Song Gong today, all the officials in the Qi State had to send him off. , the exhibition naturally also needs to be present.
As soon as Zhan Huo came out, he saw Wu Jiu and Zhan Xiong talking. He wanted to avoid it, but Zhan Xiong strode over uncharacteristically and said, "Brother!"
Zhan Huo's heart trembled when he called him big brother, and he looked at Zhan Xiong in surprise, Zhan Xiong grabbed Zhan Huo, pulled him to Wu Jiu's side, and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell me, the wrist injury must be Take the blame for me!"
Zhan Huo was taken aback, and quickly said, "No..."
Zhanxiong said: "Brother don't need to lie, my younger brother has heard what you said. If it wasn't because my elder brother suffered for me, how could those people from the state of Lu let me go? Back then, my younger brother was reckless and short-sighted, which made my elder brother waste his time." , I still resent elder brother for so many years...Elder brother, you can scold younger brother a few times, and I will feel better."
Zhanhuo's face changed from being stiff to relieved, and he sighed and said, "How could I scold you? Although you are a bit reckless, you are better than me. You are really temperamental, and you are my own brother. This is what a big brother should do." Things to do."
When Zhanxiong heard what Zhanhuo said, he felt even more uncomfortable. His eldest brother was superior in martial arts, but now he has become a useless person. He has been a judge in Lu State for so many years. The more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels. I don't know that my eldest brother has done so many things for himself.
Zhanxiong pulled Zhanhuo and said, "No, you'd better scold me, or I'll really feel sorry."
Seeing that their brothers were back together, Wu Jiu wanted to go away first and let them talk about the past, but at this time, Song Gong came over, chuckled lightly, and said to Zhan Xiong: "Hey, General Zhan, where did you come from?" The beautiful girl? You've been chatting like this since early in the morning."
When Zhanxiong heard that this beautiful lady was probably talking about his elder brother, he immediately glared at Yu and said, now that Zhanxiong knew that Zhanhuo had taken the blame for him, he had hurt his wrist, lost his right hand, couldn't even hold a cup, and was still holding the cup. Trembling, feeling grateful and regretful in his heart, naturally he couldn't let others say that his elder brother said no.
Song Gong didn't know that Zhan Huo was his elder brother. Zhan Xiong was famous for his beauty. Although there were many women before, Yu said he knew that he could treat men as well. He also has a kind of tall and straight heroic posture, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye, so he was misunderstood.
The two were still holding hands intimately, when had Zhanxiong been so gentle before, Yu immediately said that his teeth were itching, and opened his mouth to taunt a few words.
Zhan Xiong is a standard brother control, when he heard Yu talk about his elder brother's fault, he immediately exploded like a firecracker.
Zhanxiong said coldly: "What kind of joke is Mr. Song doing? If Mr. Song still humiliates people at will, Zhanxiong will not be polite."
When Yu said that, he was almost blown away. He smiled coldly and said, "Oh? It seems that Gu Ke has hit General Zhan's heart? Speaking of which, when has General Zhan ever been polite?"
Wu Jiao saw that the two were confronting each other, and although Zhan Xiong had Yu's reasoning, Yu said that he was Song Gong anyway, so he couldn't get into trouble with him, so he rushed to confront the peacemaker.
But at this time, Qi Hou just came out, and said with a smile: "Is it so lively early in the morning?"
When the crowd saw Marquis Qi coming, they had no choice but to give up. Wu Jiuzhan was handed over by Zhanxiong and said, "My lord."
Song Gong also cupped his hands, very unwilling, and said lightly: "I have seen the leader."
Although the meeting is over, but before leaving Beixing, Marquis Qi is the leader of the coalition, Duke Song still wants to see the ceremony, Marquis Qi said with a smile: "Grand Song is out."
Everyone went outside together, Qihou personally sent Duke Song out of the gate of Xingyuan, and said with a smile: "Duke Song responded positively to this alliance. The leader of this alliance will write a book and report it to the emperor. Please rest assured, Duke Song." .”
Yu Shuo cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's really a thank you to the leader."
As he spoke, he arched his hands again, then stretched his long legs, and the black sleeved robe fluttered with a "crash", jumped onto the cart, supported the pillar of the cart with one hand, and pressed the sword at his waist with the other, and said with a smile: " correct."
He said, instead of talking to Qi Hou, he turned to Wu Jiu, and said with a smile: "I said this trip, and I am very close to you. If you have difficulties in the future, you can help me, just ask me." , Yu said that I will help you with all my strength!"
He said, smiled again, raised his eyebrows and said: "Perhaps, one day the young master has no place to stay, he must come to my country of Song, and the city gates of the Song country will be opened for the young master at any time."
Song Gongyu just talked, smiled, ignored Qi Hou's cold face, and said loudly: "Let's go!"
As soon as his words fell, the car made a sparkling sound of wheels, and quickly left in the dust.
Qihou naturally knew what Song Gong meant, because before the shogunate, Qihou said a lot of absolute words in order to delay time and distract Lu Gong. Although everyone knew that this was delaying time, but the speaker If you didn't have that kind of thought, how could you come up with such a thing?
Everyone is also clear in their hearts that it seems that Young Master Jiu is not of the blood of the Qi State at all. If it is not for the blood of the Qi State, he is an evil son of the Lu State who confuses the blood and insults the blood. possible.
After Song Gongyi reminded Wu Jiu, he also thought that this trip back to Linzi city would probably cause a lot of trouble. Although he knew that Qihou was an expedient measure, the officials of Qi State would definitely make a fuss about it.
Fortunately, Wu Jiu did not have the slightest nostalgia for the position of son, if he really had nostalgia, he might have broken up with Marquis Qi because of this incident.
Qi Hou glared at Yu Shuo's back, but Yu said he was running so fast that there was nothing he could do, so he had to turn around to look at Wu Jiu. Seeing Wu Jiu was in a daze, he hurriedly said, "Second brother, don't think so much. Go back to your tent."
Wu Jiu quickly regained his senses and followed Qi Hou back to the tent.
All the monarchs left within two days, and the monarch of Zhu was the last to leave. When the crusade against Sui was settled, Cao Ke, the monarch of Zhu, would visit Qi in person.
Soon the Northern Xinghui League was over. Except for the incident of being held hostage by Duke Lu, there was nothing wrong with it. Everything went according to what Marquis Qi wanted, and Marquis Qi was about to go back.
Back to Linzi City, it would take up to five days, but Qihou spent seven days all the way because he was worried that Wu Jiu's wound would open!
For seven whole days, Wu Jiu felt that what he was riding was not a carriage, but a mule cart...
The carriage kept going forward every day. It was the first time that Wu Jiu didn't get motion sickness. He couldn't get dizzy at all. He felt that he had already reached the end of the journey on foot.
Seven days later, Wu Jiu's wound had scabbed off once, and he finally returned to Linzi City, entered the palace, went back to the house without saying a word, and fell asleep.
Yan'e didn't follow this time. She was in the palace of Qi, but she also heard that something happened to the young master. The young master did not belong to the blood of the Qi state. It caused a commotion in Linzi city. It's just Qi, and even other countries are buzzing.
Someone must be obstructing this incident, spreading it on purpose, and maliciously slandering Wu Jiu, Yan E anxiously told Wu Jiao about this matter.
Wu Jiao was lying on the couch, he didn't bother to get up at all, and said: "It's nothing, I can figure it out with my heels, it must be Wei Guo who did it."
There are a total of six countries in the alliance. Cai Guo and Chen Guo are small countries. They dare not spread such things and can only wait and see what happens. The king of Zhu Guo wants to attach himself to Qi, so he will never say such things. Although Lu Guo I hate Qi State, but now Lu State is too busy to take care of itself, and absolutely dare not do such a thing. Although Song Gong was at odds with Qi State, he threw an olive branch to Wu Jiao before leaving, and said that there was something in the hands of Qi Hou. , naturally would not do such a thing.
Then there is only one Wei country left.
Wei State and Qi State have already discussed the matter of water canals, and Qi Houben is about to withdraw his troops from Jin State. After all, he does not really want to dig water canals. In the era when there were no sneak attacks in wars, if it really drowned the people in the city, it would definitely be an immoral tongue.
Therefore, Marquis Qi didn't want to do this. He just wanted to frighten Weiguo. Weiguo had already negotiated peace, but if he wanted to save face, he naturally wanted to spread the matter of the son's correction, so that other countries would laugh at Qiguo for raising his son for others.
Qi Hou also heard about this matter, and was very angry, but because he didn't want Wu Jiu to worry about it, after all, Qi Hou always felt that Wu Jiao was very sensitive about Young Master Jiu's life experience, he didn't know that Wu Jiao was actually not sensitive to this.
No one told Wu Jiao, only Yan'e didn't know, and said bluntly, Ziqing was ordered by Qi Hou, don't let Wu Jiao know about this, lest Wu Jiao's mood is bad, which is not conducive to his recovery.
Ziqing glanced helplessly at Yan'e, who asked suspiciously, "Brother Ziqing, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Ziqing: "..."
But Wu Jiu wasn't worried at all, his right hand managed to tear off the layers of cloth, and when he was free, he went back to his own room, rolled on the couch several times, hugged the quilt and kissed, saying : "What is there to worry about?"
Yan'e said, "My lord, do you have a solution?"
Wu Jiu smiled and hooked his fingers at Ziqing, Ziqing's eyelids twitched wildly, walked over boldly, and said, "My lord, what do you want?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Ziqing, go and tell the king that the people of Wei are just lip-syncing and farting. Qi is a big country, so we can't be rude to them."
Ziqing's eyelids twitched wildly, what the hell is "putting two farts"?
Wu Jiu said again: "Well, the state of Qi rented the land of the state of Jin for ten years, and all the money was given, so we can't rent it in vain. Don't let the soldiers who dig the canals come back. Let's not dig the canals, but dig the fields instead. Those soldiers are breaking ground next to Weiguo every day..."
As Wu Jiu said, he sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't believe it anymore. The people of Wei see their borders being torn apart every day. How can they survive? Scaring them to death."
When Yan E heard it, she immediately clapped her hands and said, "What a good idea! Young Master, what you said is really good, brother Ziqing, hurry up and talk to Jun Shang!"
Ziqing was so helpless, Wu Jiao waved his hand, Ziqing had no choice but to walk out of the house, thinking as he walked, since his secret identity was exposed, the young master not only did not scold him, but regarded himself as an errand.
Ziqing thought again, Mr. Xing didn't know what he was thinking, but he fell in love with Yan'e. If he really married Yan'e back and became his wife, he might become the master of the princes of Fenghuo Opera!
Ziqing thought so, but walked out of the house helplessly, and walked to Qihou's bedroom.
Wu Jiu came back and had a long sleep. The next morning, Marquis Qi needed to go to the court, but Wu Jiu didn't need it, so he slept all the time.
Compared with Wu Jiu's leisure, Qi Hou got up early, let the eunuch take care of him to wash and tidy, had breakfast, and then went to the palace to go to court.
Today is the first early court after returning from the Northern Apricot League, so it is very important. When Qi Hou entered the main hall of the Lu Palace, all the civil and military officials had already stood in line, and Young Master Wu Kui and Young Master Zhao had also stood up.
Although Young Master Wu Kui is the eldest son, but now Young Master Zhao is the Young Master of Jian Guo, so Young Master Zhao is at the forefront.
For more than a month, Qi Hou felt that Young Master Zhao seemed to have grown up a bit, and he was about the same height as Young Master Wukui. In addition, he didn't know if Jian Guo was too tired, so the baby's fat and fleshy flesh on Young Master Zhao's face was almost gone. Yes, a face with sharp edges and corners, with narrow and powerful eyes, looks a lot handsomer, and seems to have grown a lot.
Qihou sat down, let all the ministers sit down, and said: "Although there were some troubles in the middle of the alliance, it was considered smooth. There is a big event right now, which is the crusade against Suiguo. This matter will be announced at the alliance ceremony Above, I have already discussed with the princes, and the situation of sending troops from various countries has also been discussed, and the only thing left is to report to the emperor, and the emperor will make a decision."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wang Zicheng's father, and said, "Da Sima."
Prince Cheng's father immediately stood up and said, "The humble general is here."
Qihou said: "Although the emperor has not opened his mouth to crusade, there are nine out of ten crusades. For food, grass, food, and infantry, Da Sima has an idea in mind."
Wang Zicheng's father immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I understand."
After speaking, Wang Zicheng's father sat back on the mat again.
Qihou is in a good mood today. After all, it has been more than a month since he left Linzi City, and he feels very cordial after returning, especially the North Apricot League was successfully resolved. In addition, yesterday afternoon, Qihou received Wu Jiu's opinion again, and he has sent an edict Order to the Qi army in the state of Jin, let them take advantage of the sunshine, stop digging canals, dig farmland instead, and work day and night without stopping, so that the people of Wei state are worried.
In this way, Marquis Qi has nothing on his mind, just waiting for the order from Emperor Zhou to attack Suiguo justifiably, can he be in a bad mood?
Qihou glanced at the crowd and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Everyone was silent, but Guan Yiwu stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Lu Yi that was prepared a few days ago is very appropriate. Now all the merchants in Lu State are selling Lu Xi, and no one is farming. The Lu State is not good now. Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to forbid the merchants of the state of Lu to sell Lu onyx."
Qi Hou smiled secretly, thinking that this is the case. He has been encouraging Lu Gong merchants to sell Lu onyx before, not only for the large profits, but also the policy encouragement. Now there are Lu merchants selling Lu onyx everywhere. Qihou What we are waiting for is the day when the sale of Luxuan is completely banned.
As long as there is a complete ban, large quantities of Luxuan cannot be sold, and there will be a phenomenon of hoarding and overstocking, and the news will still lag to a certain extent, so that no one is plowing the fields in Lu State, and they are still weaving cloth. slumped.
Qihou laughed and said: "Okay, what Doctor Guan said is exactly, let's do it like this, and Doctor Guan will preside over this matter himself."
Guan Yiwu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Yiwu receives the imperial edict."
After Guan Yiwu withdrew, no one spoke for a while, and Qihou said: "Since there is nothing wrong..."
He hadn't finished his sentence yet, at this time the doctor Shenyou stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more matter, which is of great importance, please Your Majesty make a decision."
Qihou said: "Oh? What is it?"
Shenyou cupped his hands and said, "It's the young master's matter."
When he said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Now in the court, among the top officials, Yiwu Bao Shuya, among the top officials, Hu Dongguo Ya Zhanhuo, and among the generals, Shi Su, Cao GUI and Zhanxiong, can be said to be all from the party of Prince Jiu. When he spoke like this, everyone looked at each other.
Qihou laughed, looked at Shenyou, and said indifferently: "What is Shenqing talking about?"
Shenyou said: "Nowadays the identity of Young Master Jiu is causing a lot of noise. Young Master Jiu is not from my old Qi. All countries are already rumors. You secretly think that Young Master Jiu should not pretend to be a Young Master anymore. Your Majesty should correct the etiquette and laws of Qi. , can’t let some little mermaids with ulterior motives fool them.”
Qihou laughed, and said lightly: "Shenqing, you are wrong. Young Master Jiu is indeed Gu's second elder brother. Although he is indeed not of the blood of Qi, but when they formed an alliance in Beixing a few days ago, Gu and Young Master Jiu, Zhan The general has sworn obeisance, I respectfully tell heaven and earth, son Jiu is still son Jiu."
When he said this, everyone looked sideways, they didn't expect that Marquis Qi would marry Wu Jiu Zhanxiong.
When Shenyou heard this, he was a little anxious, and said: "This... Your Majesty, it is really against the rules of etiquette to confuse the blood of the Qi State..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Marquis Qi interrupted him, saying: "Then...according to Qing Shen's opinion, what should we do?"
You Shenyou thought that Marquis Qi really asked him what he meant, so he said righteously: "Young master confuses the blood of the Qi State, shames the nobles of the Qi State, and invites the ridicule of the world. , should be severely punished, so as to rectify the prestige of Qi State!"
When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately became angry. Even if Wu Jiu is not of Qi blood, it is not up to Wu Jiu to decide on his own. Who can decide for himself what his status will be when he is born?
Zhao Hu angrily stretched out his hand to hold the saber on his waist, and quickly pressed Dong Guo Ya on his shoulder. Zhao Hu glanced at Dong Guo Ya, and Dong Guo Ya whispered: "Do not be impatient, Doctor Zhong. Anxiety, Your Majesty will deal with it."
Zhao Hu was in a hurry, and Shen You was complacent, but Qi Hou suddenly laughed "haha" and said, "Okay, okay."
As he spoke, he stood up slowly, walked down the stage, and stepped down the steps step by step. The laughter suddenly stopped, and he stopped drinking and said: "You are so brave, Shenyou! Since you speak so clearly , the justice is awe-inspiring, then Gu, the position of the monarch, let you sit, okay?!"
At first, Shenyou heard Qihou laughing, and thought that Qihou also thought his method was good, but Qihou suddenly became angry, so frightened that Shenyou knelt down on the ground with a "gudong!"
Shenyou turned pale with fright, wiped his sweat again and again, and said in a low voice: "The villain... the villain is guilty, the villain is guilty..."
When Zhao Hu heard this, he was relieved.
Qi Hou glanced at the crowd and said, "Young Master Jiu, how much did you do for the country of Qi? In the summer time, you went to Ju as an envoy, but you did your best? The emperor married a princess and almost made a joke of the Qi country, but the son Jiu Contribute to calm down? When Wei Guo and Lu Guo bullied their families and bullied us on top of Qi Guo, but Young Master Jiu proposed to dig water canals, and scare off the Wei Guo people without bloodshed?"
Qi Hou asked three questions in a row, and said: "Such a person can do great things alone, how can he convince the people of the world?!"
Qihou said, and then said: "Go and ask the young master to rectify."
After he finished speaking, the eunuch next to him quickly said, "Yes, I'll go right away, my servant."
He said that's all, and ran away after rolling and crawling, rushing out from the bedroom palace all the way, and hurried to ask Wu Jiao to come over.
Qi Hou and other eunuchs walked out of the hall, and said: "Okay, if you all feel that the young master should not be this young master, then Gu will not let him be this young master."
Shenyou knelt on the ground, not knowing what to say, he was too frightened to look up, full of suspicion in his heart, Qihou lost his temper just now, why didn't he let Wu Jiao be the son again?
I heard Qi Hou say quietly: "Lv Jiu gave porridge with the people in Liangqiu, and donated his savings in Linzi to the national treasury every month. He is a person with ambition. Such talents, I will give him This position, do you have any opinions?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one spoke, so Qihou said flatly: "Then give him... the position of chief minister."
As soon as he said this, the Lu Palace instantly boiled up. Although all the ministers whispered to each other, there were too many people who couldn't hold back the words, after all, they were all shocked.
What is the position of Dasinong?In fact, it is not what it seems literally. In the position of managing agriculture, Da Si Nong is the national financial and economic officer, responsible for various taxation, agriculture, commerce, general management of salt and iron, and various official operations.
In this era of cold weapons, everyone understands a truth. Salt means money, and iron means power. The reason why Tan Guo is tyrannical is because Tan Guo is a big salt farm, so rich, so don't look at there are no soldiers. But very confident.
The position of Da Si Nong is to manage all the economic lifelines of the Qi country. In simple terms, it is a fat and fat difference.
Qi Hou said indifferently: "The former chief minister just resigned from office, so the position of chief minister is vacant, and it happens to be filled by Lu Jiu. Do you have any objections?"
Shenyou didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot with a stone. As a young master, Wu Jiu doesn't have any real power. He can only be a great pedestrian today, which is equivalent to a Chinese doctor, and a special envoy tomorrow, which is equivalent to a doctor. It is a temporary position.
Now that the Marquis of Qi is opening his mouth, he wants to promise Wu Jiu the official position of Da Si Nong, what is that equivalent to?
It is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the country.
Da Sima is in charge of the military power of Qi State, and Da Si Nong is in charge of the economic lifeline of Qi State. The civil and military affairs are the two most important positions. Officials who make admonitions must be loyal but not die. These are all official positions based on soldiers and money, and they must be based on Da Sima and Da Sinog.
Therefore, Da Sinong must be the confidant of the monarch, and to put it bluntly, he is the favorite of the favorite ministers. Otherwise, how can the monarch entrust his own money to the management of Da Sinong?
Everyone was discussing in low voices for a while, Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on with Marquis Qi, he was wrapped in the quilt, and he was intimate with the quilt, dreaming of eating omelet rice, rich and mellow egg skin, when cut open, it was full of salty white rice and All kinds of side dishes, before they put a mouthful into their mouths, they heard the voices of Ziqing and Yan'e urging their lives: "Young master! Young master! Something is wrong! Get up quickly! Young master, wake up!"
Wu Jiao's omelette was woken up before he could eat it, and seeing the eunuch beside Qihou was also urging his life, he didn't know what happened, so he had to wash and get dressed in a hurry, and didn't even eat Without taking a sip of water, he trotted quickly and followed the eunuch to the bedroom.
Wu Jiu said on the way, "May I ask what is the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The eunuch didn't dare to say anything, just said: "Young master will know when he goes."
Wu Jiu had no choice but to rush into the main hall. When he entered the main hall, the hall was still clamoring "Wu Yang Wu Yang". If he didn't know it, he thought he had entered a supermarket, and the rhythm of the audience was 50% off...
As soon as Wu Jiao walked in, Wu Yang Wu Yang's voice suddenly disappeared, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Jiao. Wu Jiao's scalp felt a little numb for a moment, he coughed lightly, and quickly Walking in, he greeted respectfully and said, "Correcting to see you, Your Majesty."
Seeing Wu Jiu walk in, Qi Hou finally softened his face and said, "Second brother, don't be too polite, just sit down."
Wu Jiu hurriedly sat down on the extra seat next to him, and he could still feel the burning gaze of the crowd. At the same time, Wu Jiu also found that, while everyone was sitting, Shenyou was actually kneeling in the middle of the main hall, with his hands wrapped around him. In the ear, the head hits the ground, has not dared to raise the head.
Wu corrected his doubts, and felt that the atmosphere today was a little different, probably because he didn't go to court very much...
I heard Qi Hou say with a smile: "Second brother just came, and I am talking about second brother alone with all the high officials."
Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh, but said calmly, "I don't know what is wrong with Jiu? Or something wrong?"
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Second brother is too modest, it's not something inappropriate, but the officials feel that the second brother should be given a decent official position."
Wu Jiu was surprised for a while, the officials want to give him an official position?I'm afraid it's not like that, after all, it just came out that Young Master Jiu is not of Qi's bloodline, and Wu Jiu knows it without thinking, it's definitely not as good as what Qihou said.
The officials wisely did not open their mouths, and Qi Hou said with a smile: "I have been thinking about it for a long time. It is really too distressing to know what position will not be overqualified, but can make the best use of it. Finally, I finally thought that it happened that the Da Sinong had just passed away a few days ago. Let the old man resign, how about letting the second brother take up the important task of being the chief farmer?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was almost surprised, Da Sinong?
The first reaction in his mind was...a lot of money.
Wu Jiu hastily coughed softly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am really ashamed of showing love to you. The chief minister of farming is an important position in the country. Jue's talents are ignorant and his qualifications are still relatively clear. I really dare not take on such a leader. I am afraid that I will betray your majesty's trust. "
As Wu Jiu said so, suddenly a person stood up, his status was not too high among the crowd, but
