No correction

It's not that big, it's loose for one person, but if two big men sleep on it, it may seem a bit crowded.

Wu Jiao walked over bravely, Qi Hou made a mistake in the wrong place, and left room for Wu Jiao to lie down too. bed.

Wu Jiao lay down, Qi Hou turned sideways, faced Wu Jiao, stared at him with a smile, and said, "Second Brother, are you still angry?"

Wu Jiu said, "Jiao dare not be angry."

When Qihou heard this, the alarm bell in his heart rang loudly, he moved closer and said, "If you don't dare, then you are angry?"

Wu Jiao didn't speak, Qi Hou raised his hand to stroke some of Wu Jiu's hair, twisted it around in his hand, and said, "Could it be that the second brother wants to be the son-in-law of the emperor?"

Wu Jiu laughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid no one wants to be the emperor's son-in-law?"

When Qi Hou heard this, he almost turned over from the couch and sat up, pinched Wu Jiu's chin and forced him to turn to himself, Wu Jiu was startled, but Qi Hou said with a serious face: "Second brother, lonely Not allowed."

Listening to his hoarse and deep voice, Wu Jiu's heart beat twice in an instant, and Qihou realized that his attitude was not very good, so he quickly said softly, "Second brother, can't you consider being lonely? The son of heaven's daughter is a prince's daughter, she must be delicate, it's better to treat the second brother alone."

Hearing his boastful words, Wu Jiu couldn't help laughing, Qi Hou was relieved to see him laughing, and thought that his tone just now had scared Wu Jiao, but after thinking about it, who could scare Wu Jiao?Maybe it's not born yet?

Qi Hou said softly again: "Why is the second brother unwilling to let go, why does he not want to be with Gu?"

Wu Jiu was a little confused when he heard this, and said, "Together? You are the king of a country, how can you be with a man? Besides, what you want is just a skin."

Qihou stared at him and said in a low voice, "It's not the skin, it's you, the second brother."

Hearing his swear words, Wu Jiu felt a little uneasy for a moment. Taking advantage of his distraction, Qi Hou leaned over and kissed Wu Jiu on the head, and said with a smile: "If the second brother agrees, then the orphan can treat you justifiably. The second brother is even better, holding the second brother all the time, and not letting the second brother suffer any grievances, okay?"

Wu Jiao listened to Qi Hou's nasty words, and said with a puzzled face: "If you have a grievance, you can solve it by yourself, why let the king solve it? Besides, Jiao is a man, and he is holding it all the time. Your Majesty Don't you think it's weird?"

When Qi Hou heard this, he gave a low laugh and said, "The second elder brother pampers Gu all the time, and won't let Gu suffer any grievances, how about it?"

When Wu Jiu heard this, he immediately felt a headache, because Marquis Qi had started to be a rascal again, and he could say such shameless words. Wu Jiao felt that he must not easily fight with Marquis Qi, because as a monarch, Marquis Qi has already lost his face. Also outstanding...

The two chatted casually for a while, Wu Jiao had been busy all day, and there was a big stove by his side, and he gradually fell asleep. Qihou hugged him, let him pillow in his arms, and gradually fell asleep.

When Ziqing and Yan'e came in the next day, they saw Wu Jiu nestled in Qihou's arms, very obedient, with one hand grabbing Qihou's front lapel, and the other hand grabbing Qihou's hair, because he was sleeping Not very secure, so be sure to hold on to something.

Marquis Qi had already woken up, hugging Wu Jiu, with a "rippling" smile on his face, and when he saw Ziqing and Yan'e coming in, he gave a soft "hush".

Ziqing said helplessly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I have to go to court today."

Only then did Qihou remember that he was going to have a court meeting today, so he quickly turned over, but forgot that his hair was in Wu Jiao's hands, and with a "hiss!", Wu Jiao was woken up, and almost broke Qihou's hair. It hurts Qihou to pull it off.

Wu Jiu got up late, and Qi Hou was so erratic that he forgot that there was an early morning court. Both of them were in a hurry and washed up in a hurry. Qi Hou had to go back to change his court clothes, got on his horse and rushed to Qi Palace.

Wu Jiu dressed neatly and hurried into the palace, preparing for a court meeting.

As soon as Marquis Qi entered the palace, he received a complaint from the examiner's family, saying that Da Si Nong had lynched the examiner, swollen the face of the examiner, and threatened to knock out the front teeth of the examiner. He lost the official who judged you and ordered him not to go out. His words and deeds were very insulting.

At the same time, he also sued Hu Zi of Huben Zhonglang, saying that Hu Zi worked for Hu, colluded with Wu Jiu, suppressed loyal ministers, and so on.

Qi Hou quickly changed his clothes, browsed through the documents, sneered, and then went to Lu's bedroom.

Wu Jiu came late. When he walked in, all the officials had already lined up and sat down. Wu Jiu saw the swollen pig-headed Shen You at a glance. Shen You didn't have an official hat, because the official hat was still in Wu Jiu's place. Wu Jiu ordered him to reflect behind closed doors, but Shenyou came to the court today, clearly to confront Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu glanced at Shenyou with a sneer, at this moment, Marquis Qi came out slowly from the inner hall, and everyone saluted.

Qihou sat down, and looked through the crowd with a smile. He also saw the friend who had no official hat and his face was swollen into a pig's head at a glance. He said with a smile: "Which doctor is this, why doesn't he wear an official hat?"

When Shenyou heard this, he quickly stood up aggrieved, ran to the hall, knelt down with a "plop", and cried, "Your Majesty!! You have to make decisions for Shenyou! Make decisions!"

Qihou laughed, and deliberately said: "Yo, you are a friend of the judge, why can't Gu recognize you?"

When he said this, several eunuchs beside him burst out laughing, and the ministers in the hall hurriedly held back their laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Shenyou was pouted, but still said miserably: "Your Majesty, you are going to make the decision for me! They are all Da Si Nong! Da Si Nong abused the lynching of You, and made Shen You look like this? Shen You Knowing that I offended Da Sinong because I was too upright in normal times, Da Sinong maliciously retaliated against Shenyou, the king is wise, you must make the decision for Shenyou!"

Qihou smiled and said: "Okay, since you said Gu Nai is a wise king, then you can tell me why Da Sinong abused you by lynching you?"

Shenyou immediately said: "Just yesterday, Shenyou Duanduan went to the political affairs hall to prepare for a meeting, but he was arrested by Da Sinong for no reason, and he let Huben Zhonglang's Huzi abuse you and humiliate you. You didn't know when you offended Da Sinong, and Da Sinong wanted to be so mean to you."

Qi Hou smiled again and said, "Really?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Wu Jiu who was sitting upright at the table: "Second brother, what you said by Shenyou is true?"

Only then did Wu Jiu stand up, walked over unhurriedly, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true that you were blamed with the rod, and the official hat of you was indeed confiscated by Jiu."

As soon as his words came out, many people looked at Wu Jiu and Shen You one after another, thinking that there might be a good show today.

Wu Jiu said again: "But Juyou was not wronged at all when he was punished, and the punishment was too light. Let me tell you now, and let all the ministers listen. Is Judging mean to Juyou?"

Wu Jiu listed all the things about being late for the trial meeting, drinking and cursing, delaying the emergency report, and delaying the Lu State's request for grain for more than ten days, all of which were displayed in the hall.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other. Old Sinong was indeed a magnanimous master in the past. After all, he was too old and he was powerless. However, no one would dare to delay this kind of official business for more than ten days. son of a bitch.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi immediately turned his face cold, and said to Shenyou: "Shenyou, is there such a thing?!"

When Shenyou heard this, he quickly said: "Yes... it's Da Sinong's exaggeration, not Shenyou's intentional delay. Da Sinong has always hated Shenyou, so he put a lot of things on Shenyou. Shenyou really can't do it Complete these official duties by himself, and the chief minister randomly assigned them, and he is not competent for the job, please ask your majesty to investigate clearly!"

Qi Hou smiled coldly and said, "Oh? That's right."

He said, stood up, waved his hand, and soon a eunuch came over, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, Qihou picked up the slips, and with a sound of "pop!", he threw his hands from the steps. Get down, and hit the friend of the trial with one blow.

Qihou's hand was not as light as that of Wu Jiu's, and the bamboo slips scattered with a "crack!!!" and splashed all over the ground, almost causing the friend to stumble.

Qi Hou said coldly: "Friend Shen, look at the urgent report sent by the people of Lu. When did it come? It clearly stamped the stamp of the urgent report. What about you? Insulting a loyal minister in front of Gu, do you feel that Gu is foolish, easy to bully, easy to deceive, you can turn Gu fool around with a few sweet words, more diligent and loyal than others!?"

Shenyou didn't expect Qi Hou to get angry suddenly, so he knelt down quickly in fright, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty... Calm down your anger, Shenyou..."

Qihou laughed and said, "Young Shen, do you look down on the position of Sinonong?"

Shenyou didn't dare to speak, knelt on the ground to sift the chaff, and murmured: "No...no, the villain didn't..."

Qihou said: "No? Gujue, you just look down on Sinong, and feel that you are too talented to be a junior doctor of Sinoong because of your talent. I feel that Guru has wronged you! "

Shenyou quickly said: "No, no, Shenyou does not."

But what Qihou said hit the mark, that's what Shenyou thinks. He feels that he is brilliant, and others work hard. He only needs a few words to climb up. Others need two hours to review documents. Shenyou I feel that I only need half an hour, so I don't like to do things, I always think that I can finish it later, why do I do it so early.

Shenyou is now just a middle-level doctor, although his official position is not low, but Shenyou feels that he is a great talent who should be the prime minister of the country, and it is a pity to be relegated to the department of agriculture.

Qihou said everything was right, Shenyou didn't dare to agree, Qihou said coldly: "I just see that's how you feel, Shenyou, you are very wronged."

Shenyou really didn't dare to speak this time, Qihou said: "Why do you think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and feel alone, Da Sinong is too kind-hearted, and his ears are soft, and he can't let go of face to punish a person like you who is in a position of power."

As he said, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, went back to the steps, sat on the mat, and said lightly: "Just look at it like this. You have been an official for so many years, friend Shen, and you are asked to think about your mistakes at home. You also want to Nothing comes out, you are still working in Sinong, but because of your fault, Lu Guo thinks that Gu has broken trust with others, and thinks that Qi Guo has broken trust with others, which is the most unforgivable, so Gu will punish you... to raise pigs. "

As soon as he said this, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then "puchi" several times, and several scholar-bureaucrats couldn't help laughing.

Wu Jiu was also taken aback, and then gave a low laugh. The examiner didn't hear clearly. Actually, it wasn't that he didn't hear clearly, but he couldn't believe it. He just said that he would continue to work in the agriculture department, but the last sentence turned out to be raising pigs?

A scholar-bureaucrat actually wants to raise pigs. Strictly speaking, agriculture is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture, but no one has ever seen a scholar-bureaucrat raising pigs. This is really ridiculous.

Shenyou wanted to say something else, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Qihou smiled and said: "Gu didn't kill you, didn't you look down on Si Nong? Gu just let you experience it well, what is Si Nong."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and soon soldiers came in, pulled up Shenyou who raised pigs, and dragged him out of the hall. Shenyou couldn't imagine that he would raise pigs, he thought Wu Jiao would fall out of favor, How could I have thought that I was the one who fell out of favor today.

Not only did Qihou not blame Wu Jiu for dismissing Shenyou from his official position, but he also said that Wu Jiu was too kind-hearted, which is not the appearance of falling out of favor at all.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, only heard the "insider story" yesterday, and today's insider story came to light, everyone was relieved, fortunately, they were respectful to Wu Jiao yesterday, if they really believed in Shenyou's words, that would be the truth. What a fool.

Qi Hou asked someone to drag Shenyou away, and the voice of yelling for injustice stopped. Qi Hou said lightly: "Okay, today's trial of You is a lesson, and you should also remember it. What is needed are loyal and dedicated scholar-bureaucrats, not slanderous ministers like Shenyou who only want to flatter others and take advantage of loopholes."

The scholar bureaucrats hurriedly cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I would like to follow your teachings."

Qihou said: "Okay, that's all for now, and let's talk about the matter of the state of Lu suing grain."

The people of the state of Lu bought grain from the state of Qi, but the state of Lu was in short supply at this time, and the people could not eat food, so they had no choice but to buy grain from the state of Qi, which had always been stuck with each other.

Before, Marquis Qi agreed that as long as Lu Guo was willing to send Cen Ding over for a month, he would sell them grain. Now Zang Chen, a doctor of Lu State, wrote a letter saying that Duke Lu had agreed to lend Cen Ding to them for one month. moon.

Zang Chen asked Qi Guo what he meant when he could send Cen Ding over.

The time was delayed for more than ten days, but Wu Jiu sent out the letter yesterday, and Qi Hou ordered everyone to prepare. After Zang Chen entered Qi, there will be a reception banquet, and many ministers need it. join.

The matter of welcoming the envoys of the State of Lu is handed over to Gongsun Xipeng. Gongsun Xipeng is the senior secretary, and he is very familiar with such matters. After a few days, the senior secretary set off to meet Zang Chen and Lu Guozhong. Cen Ding.

Qi Hou asked Wu Jiu and Zhan Huo to meet Zang Chen at the gate of Linzi City, because they had already had experience last time, so they quickly took orders.

When the team of Lu Guo's special envoy was about to arrive at the gate of the city, Wu Jiu took Zhanhuo and the people from the Sino-Nong department to the gate of Linzi city. It's dazzling and hot, but it's just so hot that people can't open their eyes, and they don't feel the sticky feeling of hot summer, especially after nightfall, when the cool breeze blows, it feels like early autumn.

Standing at the gate of the city, Wu Jiu and Zhan Huo soon saw a team approaching from a distance. The figures of the team looked very ethereal, but there was a huge bronze tripod in the team, which was very eye-catching. It was installed on the car. Protective measures were taken, and they were tightly bound, and they came slowly towards this side.

The ancient people, especially those in the Zhou Dynasty, attached great importance to the sacrificial ritual vessels. The ritual vessels were actually food vessels. In the eyes of the Zhou Dynasty people, eating was very important. The vessels used for eating were all ritual vessels for worshiping ancestors and gods.

For example, Yudun, which is made of blood, is actually a small bowl, and the bronze tripod is the most supreme ritual vessel of this era.

The huge Cen Ding is a heavy weapon of the Lu State, just like the Jiuding placed in the Luoshi Ming Hall, it represents the royal power, and the Cen Ding represents the highest authority of the Lu State.

The people of Lu Guo worked so hard to buy food, and they actually lent Cen Ding to Qi Hou to hold him.

In fact, Duke Lu did not agree to lend Cen Ding to the State of Qi. After all, even if there was a famine in the State of Lu, the nobles of the State of Lu would eat three meals a day, one meal of chicken, duck, fish, and six staple foods. Well, even the group of princes and nobles around him, as well as the scholar-bureaucrats, have not been reduced in configuration, so they don't experience hunger at all, but how many refugees starve to death here and how many uprisings there are? Report.

Lu Gong took Cen Ding very seriously, and felt that it was the face of the Lu country. Even if there was a famine, at most some disabled people would be killed, and the population would be reduced sharply. All the face is paid.

But Zang Chen took the initiative to borrow the tripod, and it was "self-assessment", so he agreed. It is conceivable that after Zang Chen returned to the state of Lu, he sat on the bench.

Duke Lu despised Zang Chen as much as he despised Qingfu, but after a comparison, he felt that Qingfu was better, so he dismissed Zang Chen from the position of Minister of State and changed Father Qing to be Minister of State.

As a result, Zang Chen did not give up, and still strongly recommended Lu Gong to borrow a tripod for food. Face is only a temporary thing, and the people's hearts and people are the most important things. If people lose people's hearts and the people starve to death, who will Serving your life for the state of Lu, fighting for the state of Lu, and defending the state of Lu?

In the end, Duke Lu was persuaded, but he was not very happy, so he asked Zang Chen to take the tripod to Qi State.

Wu Jiu stood at the gate of the city, and soon the convoy came over. Zang Chen was wearing a black envoy's robe and holding a white festival festival. , paler than before.

Everything seemed to be the same as last time, and Wu Jiu and Zhan Huo welcomed Zang Chen. Zang Chen walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Zang Chen, the envoy of the State of Lu, has seen the Minister of Agriculture of the State of Qi."

Wu Jiu also bowed his hands to Zang Chen, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zang is polite."

As soon as he got close, not only Wu Jiu, but even Zhan Huo was taken aback. Zang Chen's complexion was very frightening, his eyes were black and blue, his cheeks were sunken, his lips were lavender, and he looked extremely haggard. He took a deep breath to speak, covered his mouth with a handkerchief after speaking, and coughed hard.

Wu Jiu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Zang Chen's coughing handkerchief was bloodshot, and the bloodshot was not pink, but red.

Zang Chen hurriedly put away the handkerchief, and said with a smile, "I am here to greet you specially."

Wu Jiu said: "Doctor Zang doesn't need to be too polite. The journey is tiring. Please stay at the post house first. In the evening, the emperor has prepared a welcome banquet for Doctor Zang. Please treat Doctor Zang with respect."

Zang Chen nodded again and again, but couldn't speak, and coughed several times, then he felt better, and said: "Thank you Qi Gong, thank you Da Si Nong."

Zang Chen's situation was not good, and because he had traveled all the way, he quickly went to the post house to stay, and he didn't ask for help.

Wu Jiu returned to the palace and went to the banquet hall to check. Everything was ready, and he was waiting for Zang Chen's banquet at night.

Qihou also made preparations, dressed neatly, and prepared to go to the banquet hall when it was dusk.

When Wu Jiu came to the banquet hall, Zang Chen had already arrived at the banquet hall in order to express his respect, and the envoys of Lu State had also arrived at the banquet hall. When Zang Chen saw Wu Jiu, he quickly got up and saluted.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Doctor Zang, please sit down and have a glass of wine first. Your Majesty will be here in a while."

Zang Chen nodded, and then the doctors from Qi State came one after another. Zhan Xiong and Zhan Huo were talking, they didn't know what they were talking about, and they smiled brightly, and the two walked in.

When Zhanxiong saw Zang Chen's appearance, he was taken aback. He didn't expect Zang Chen to be so haggard. In Zhanxiong's impression, although Zang Chen had always been ill, he was still a weak scholar. In fact, he is tall and looks quite majestic, and he will not become like this.

Zhanxiong secretly pulled Zhanhuo's sleeve, and said: "This Zang Chen, his eyes are black and blue, as if he has been possessed by an evil spirit."

Zhanhuo glanced at Zhanxiong helplessly, and said, "Don't let others hear you, you're going to cause trouble for your majesty and Da Sinong, just a few words."

Zhanxiong said: "Alright, alright, listen to elder brother."

Everyone had almost arrived. At this time, Marquis Qi came in Shi Shiran. He was shocked when he saw Zang Chen's appearance. Unexpectedly, he hadn't seen him in just a few months, and Zang Chen had only a tall body. His face was pale, he looked haggard, and he was still coughing non-stop.

When Marquis Qi walked in, everyone stood up and saluted quickly. Marquis Qi said with a smile, "Today is to welcome the special envoy of the State of Lu. At the same time, I will also invite all the ministers to a banquet, so that they can see the important weapon of the State of Lu, Cen Ding."

When Zang Chen heard that the Marquis of Qi wanted to display the important weapon Cen Ding at the banquet, he was really stubborn. This might be a reception banquet, but a demonstration banquet.

But now that the state of Lu has something to ask for from the state of Qi, it is also the right thing for the Marquis of Qi to take care of him.

Zang Chen just coughed a few times, but did not refute.

Qi Hou smiled and said to Zang Chen: "I will invite the special envoy of the State of Lu to explain to the ministers later. What is going on with Cen Ding?"

Zang Chen knew that Marquis Qi was trying to ridicule him on purpose, so he just said indifferently: "Duke Qi praised Zang Chen too much, Zang Chen is just a lowly minister, and he doesn't know much about this Cen Ding."

Qi Hou smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that Dr. Zang is so talented, he is too modest, too modest."

Qihou said, turned his head and waved, "Come here, please let the tripod open!"

As he said that, two rows of tiger and ben troops came in from the outside, pushing a small cart, and transported Cen Ding in from the outside, and then several people worked together to lift Cen Ding, and put Cen Ding in the middle of the banquet for everyone to appreciate.

When the doctors of Qi State saw it, they all laughed and pointed at Cen Ding, as if they were picking melons in the vegetable market. There was an obvious sense of ridicule in that move, and they were very proud.

After all, Cen Ding represents the face of the State of Lu. Now the face of the State of Lu is placed on the banquet of the State of Qi for people to appreciate.

Zang Chen looked at the crowd and smiled, but lowered his head, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed. After coughing, he lowered his head and looked at the handkerchief. He didn't speak, but put the handkerchief into his arms with deep eyes.

Zhan Huo next to him accidentally glanced at it, and was startled, seeing that the veil was covered with bloodstains.

At this moment, Marquis Qi spoke again. He raised his wine glass and said: "Today's situation is just right, and there is Cen Ding to help the fun. I respect the special envoy of the State of Lu alone for a glass. The special envoy of the State of Lu sent the tripod all the way. , Gu respect Doctor Zang."

Zang Chen quickly raised his wine glass, and said flatly: "The foreign ministers dare not, and the foreign ministers respect the Duke of Qi."

Wu Jiu also raised his wine glass, and the people next to him raised their wine glasses to pay respects. After everyone drank a glass of wine, Qi Hou asked Zang Chen and Cen Ding about his origin and so on.

Everyone drank a few more glasses of wine, and the banquet had really started. As soon as the banquet started, everyone got up one after another, and someone asked Qi Hou with a smile if he could touch the Cen Ding himself.

Qihou said with a smile: "I have to ask the special envoy of Lu State? But I feel that it is impossible for the people of Lu State to be so stingy and not even touch them?"

Zang Chen's complexion was a bit ugly at this time, and finally it was not that faint. The veins on his face twitched, but he recovered quickly, and said with his hands: "Since the widow has already borrowed the tripod with Qi Gong, then Qi Gong please That's it."

Qi Hou laughed and said: "The people of Lu are indeed a country of etiquette, so they are very generous."

Qihou said, waved his sleeves, and said: "I am a scholar-bureaucrat in Qi, whoever wants to take a closer look at Cen Ding should do so right in front of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few well-meaning scholar-bureaucrats stood up, walked to the place where Cen Ding was placed in the middle of the banquet hall, and took a closer look.

As soon as someone walked over, many people were looking at Qi Hou's face. Seeing that Qi Hou didn't stop him and was still smiling, more people followed suit and walked over, ready to find out.

Wu Jiu didn't move while sitting on the table, but just turned his head to glance at Zang Chen. Zang Chen couldn't stop coughing, and tightly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Qihou smiled and watched the crowd watching Cen Ding, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zang."

Zang Chen coughed, and quickly responded, "Yes, the minister is here."

Qihou said with a smile: "I heard that Dr. Cen was no longer the Prime Minister of Lu State a month ago?"

When Zang Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. It is true. Zang Chen was dismissed as the Prime Minister a month ago, and now the Prime Minister of Lu State is Father Qing. His son, Father Qing, because Zang Chen advocated borrowing At the time of Ding, he was loved by Lu Gong again, so he gave the position of Guoxiang to Qingfu.

Zang Chen heard that Marquis Qi was taunting him, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Back to Duke Qi, that is indeed the case. Now Zang Chen is just an envoy."

Qihou smiled and said: "Since you are not the Prime Minister, why did Duke Lu ask you to come over when he bought grain? Why didn't the Prime Minister of Lu State come over? Is he looking down on Gu?"

When Zang Chen heard this, he knew that Marquis Qi was starting to find fault, so he said: "Duke Qi is worrying too much. The widow respects Duke Qi, and he never dares to neglect you. How can you look down on Duke Qi? Zang Chen originally started the matter of food, so even if Zang Chen is not the Prime Minister of Lu, he should resolve this matter satisfactorily."

What Zang Chen said was reasonable, he didn't look angry at all when he heard Qihou's taunt, but Qihou was quite proud, because Zang Chen didn't seem to be angry, but his breathing became a lot faster, He has been wheezing and coughing much more frequently than before, which shows that Zang Chen is not calm inside.

Seeing that Zang Chen responded one by one, Wu Jiao actually admired Zang Chen. After all, Zang Chen was so ill that he still advocated suing the grain. His loyalty to the Lu State is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth.

Many officials went to observe Cen Ding, and Wu Jiu was bored sitting still. At this time, Zang Chen took the initiative to come over, holding a glass of wine and said: "Da Sinoong, foreign ministers respect Da Sinong for a cup, and I have to thank Da Si Nong for the food report." Sinon."

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to do it, it's a matter of my duty, I dare not ask Lu Guo's special envoy to thank me."

As he spoke, Na picked up his wine glass and said, "Let's pay homage to the special envoy of the State of Lu."

Zang Chen didn't refuse either, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking very cheerful, Wu Jiu also drank the wine in the glass, and just about to put down the glass, he heard "Bang Dang!!!" With a loud noise, the wine glass in Zang Chen's hand fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zang Chen suddenly tilted, fell to the ground, coughed violently twice, and even spit out a mouthful of blood.

Wu Jiao was taken aback, Zang Chen fell down suddenly, as if there was no warning, and even vomited a mouthful of blood, looking very scary.

There was a sudden commotion beside Wu Jiu, Qi Hou immediately stood up, walked down the steps, and said, "What's the matter?"

He rushed over, and saw Zang Chen lying on the ground, his face was pale, his body was covered with blood, he seemed to have passed out, and Zhan Huo Zhanxiong who was next to him was also startled, Zhan Huo quickly said: "Call the medical officer!"

Qihou didn't expect that the special envoy of the State of Lu would cough up blood and fainted at the banquet. Qihou didn't know if it was because of the few words he had ridiculed just now. Just fell to the ground?

Soon the medical officer rushed in and quickly checked Zang Chen who was lying on the ground. There was a lot of blood on Zang Chen's front, his face was pale, and he was very weak. The medical officer hurriedly carried Zang Chen to the side hall and let Zang Chen lie down. Then he brought out Yang Qi pills and stuffed them in Zang Chen's mouth.

After a while, Zang Chen opened his mouth and let out a breath.

This change was so sudden that everyone was taken aback, the reception banquet ended without a problem, Qi Hou Wu Jiu followed the medical officer to the side hall, and everyone else waited outside.

Seeing that the medical officer examined Zang Chen for a long time, Qi Hou finally frowned and said, "What's going on?"

At the reception banquet of Qi State, the special envoy of Lu State suddenly coughed up blood and fainted. Those who didn't know thought who had poisoned Zang Chen. If Zang Chen really died in Qi State, it is really unclear.

Although Zang Chen looked very weak and terminally ill, he didn't look like he was about to die, it was really strange that he suddenly fainted like he did just now.

The medical officer was a little trembling, and needed Qihou and Wu Jiu to take a step to speak. The three walked from the inner room to the outer room, and sent the eunuch and maid away. Then the medical officer said: "Your Majesty, Da Sinong, this Lu The special envoy of the State of Lu is weak, and the root cause of the disease has not been cured, and... Also, the special envoy of the State of Lu... seems to be poisoned."

Wu Jiao said in surprise, "Poisoned, just now? The special envoy of the State of Lu didn't seem to have eaten anything, and everyone drank the wine he drank."

The medical officer immediately explained: "No, no, it's not a violent poison, it won't break out immediately, but a chronic poison that needs to be dosed for a long time and slowly invades the bone marrow."

Qihou said: "That means Zang Chen has been poisoned for a long time?"

The medical officer nodded and said: "Yes, according to this measurement, about... I secretly thought that it has been about a month, and I take it every day. This kind of poison is not difficult to find, and it is not difficult to prepare, but I have never I've seen people use it, because the poison has to be taken every day, and ... and, frankly, it's so easy to detect, so almost no one would use such a stupid way of poisoning."

When Wu Jiao heard this, he immediately frowned. For about a month, and it had to be taken every day, it was still a blunt method that was easy to be discovered.

Hearing this, Wu Jiu felt that something was very wrong. Zang Chen is such a smart person. Someone poisoned him for a month, and it was a stupid poison that could be found out with a single check. Could Zang Chen not know?

Besides, Zang Chen is a doctor. Although he has been dismissed as the Prime Minister, he is still a noble doctor of the Lu Kingdom. Zang Chen's food and clothing expenses must have been strictly screened. After such screening, he can still be poisoned?

Wu Jiu hurriedly asked, "Is there a solution?"

The medical officer said: "There is a solution, but there is a solution, but it takes a long time to recuperate and detoxify, just like poisoning. It doesn't happen overnight, but... But the physical condition of the special envoy of the State of Lu basically has no solution. After all, the State of Lu The special envoy... he may not last long, maybe five or six days at most."

When Wu Jiu heard it, he was more sure of the strangeness. The amount of the poison was just right, not too much, and it happened that Zang Chen came to Qi to have a seizure. , Zang Chen was a little restless, and suddenly became poisoned. Everyone didn't know that Zang Chen was poisoned, and they thought it was just that Zang Chen was weak and terminally ill.

If Zang Chen died in Qi State, there is no way to explain it clearly. It is very likely that the people of Lu State will grab their pigtails and say that the people of Qi State treated Dr. Zang Chen harshly, so that Dr. Zang Chen died of illness in a foreign land and so on.

Zang Chen is a celebrity, so, no matter whether Qi State treats Zang Chen harshly or not, the influence of Qi State is not good, and it will make those strange people who want to defect to Qi State have concerns.

Wu Jiu frowned, and whispered to Qi Hou, "Your Majesty, this matter...may be unusual."

Qi Hou also nodded, it seemed that the two of them seemed to want to go together.

Qihou turned his head and said to the medical officer: "If Gu wants the life of the special envoy of Baolu Kingdom, can you keep it?"

The medical officer suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "This... this... I can try it, but, it needs some extremely valuable medicinal materials, at least during the detoxification period, use these precious medicinal materials to hang Lu The yang energy of the country's special envoy can save his life."

Wu Jiu understood in an instant that it was not impossible to keep Zang Chen, but the price would be relatively high and some precious medicinal materials would be needed.

Wu Jiu said: "Jiao still has some medicinal materials brought from the Song Dynasty. I gave some to the young prince a few days ago, and there are still some left. How about giving it to Dr. Zang?"

Qi Hou nodded, and said in agreement, "Second Brother Lao, don't worry about it."

He also said to the medical officer: "Zang Chen's life must be saved, no matter how expensive the medicinal materials are, you just have to do it."

The medical officer hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I'm taking orders."

Everyone chatted in the outer room for a while, and the Marquis of Qi came again. It was about the alliance of Qi, Song and Zheng. Gongsun Xipeng went to the palace overnight and called Marquis Qi away.

Wu Jiao stayed to check on the situation. After all, Zang Chen's condition was not very good. He was a little half unconscious. He just opened his mouth to take a breath, but his consciousness was not so clear.

After Qihou left, the eunuch came in and said that General Zhan and Doctor Zhan wanted to come in to see Zang Chen, so Wu Jiu asked Zhanxiong and Zhanhuo to come in.

Wu Jiu led two people to talk about Zang Chen's situation in a low voice. When Zhan Xiong heard this, he was surprised and said, "Poisoning? It must have been done by the Lu people. They actually did such a dirty thing? Zang Chen is not from the Lu country." Doctor?! They don’t hesitate to poison their own doctor to frame us?”

Zhan Huo wanted to ask Zhan Xiong to keep his voice down, but at this moment he heard a "cough cough", and Zang Chen woke up at this time.

Wu Jiu dragged Zhanxiong outside to talk, Zhanhuo looked back, did not go out with the two of them, but slowly approached the inner room, Zang Chen was coughing, the medical officer supported him, and gave him a handkerchief. After wiping the blood, the yang-inducing pill was coughed up, and the medical officer hurriedly took another one and let Zang Chen hold it in his mouth.

When Zhan Huo walked in, Zang Chen just glanced at him, his face was extremely weak, and he coughed softly with his mouth pursed in a suppressed voice.

Zhan Huo stood still by the couch, looked down at Zang Chen, and said in a very flat tone: "Does Doctor Zang know that he has been poisoned?"

Zang Chen just coughed twice and didn't speak because he couldn't speak
