In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

After the scholars contended and debated, Gong Ziqian had been very quiet, quietly handling political affairs, quietly serving the emperor and inner father, quietly doing all the things he should do step by step, until Xia Yu fell ill.

Xia Yu, his nominal inner father, fell ill, so Young Master Qian disguised himself as a commoner and went to see Shen Zili that night.

Shen Zili seemed a little surprised to see him, but his expression seemed to be somewhat clear.

When Gong Ziqian said to Shen Zili's disciple that "Sir" said he wanted to ask Shen Zili for advice, Shen Zili raised his eyebrows, and his expression seemed to be teasing. Gong Ziqian saw it, but he was very calm , calmly communicated with this former Jin doctor who made his father hate him, and asked for advice.

"What do you want to ask, my lord? About the state of Yan? About your father? Or about yourself, my lord?" Shen Zili raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Young Master Qian said indifferently: "He doesn't dare to talk about things, I just want to understand my own affairs, so it's not bad."

Shen Zili nodded very clearly, and said, "It seems that the young master wants to ask about his own affairs." Shen Zili smiled and said, "Young master's matter is actually easy to talk about, young master, you don't need to do anything. No matter how flooded his temple is, no matter how high he is, no matter how the state of Yan is, no matter how the king and father of Yan are, your position is always stable, no one can move it."

Gong Ziqian nodded, and his dull appearance seemed to be more blank. After a long time, Gong Ziqian asked, "Will inner father die?"

Hearing Young Master Qian's straightforward question, and the question was about Xia Yu's life and death, Shen Zili was slightly surprised, looked him up and down, and then asked slightly curiously: "You care about Xia Yu so much? Do you want him alive or dead? You come to me and talk about this, aren't you afraid that I will say it or tell others what you said?"

Gong Ziqian spoke very concisely, and said: "No, no one will believe you if you tell it. If you tell the wrong person, I will kill you." After a pause, Gong Ziqian continued, "If father-in-law and There is disharmony between the father and the father, there are internal and external political disputes in the court, and the state of Yan is in danger of being overthrown."

Shen Zili was not angry when he heard Young Master Qian's blatant threat, and said peacefully: "If the sky wants Xia Yu to die, he won't be able to survive this serious illness. It's the number of days. What can you do, Young Master? If he makes it through, it's a dispute between him and your father-in-law, son, you can't control the number of days, and you can't interfere with your father-in-law's decision."

Gong Ziqian was silent.

When Young Master Qian left, Shen Zili looked at his back and muttered to himself: "It seems that Young Master Qian has a lot of affection for Xia Yu. If he succeeds in the future, he can't be expected to clean up Xia Yu's party feathers." , Is the Yan Kingdom really going to be prosperous?"

When Gong Ziqian left, his mind once again returned to the plague in the endless city that year. At that time, he was still very young, and he had a few traces of innocent admiration for his biological father-in-law, always thinking of To be closer, however, the father-in-law ordered that he and several younger brothers who were also infected with the plague be locked up in a small courtyard together, struggling and coughing, and burning in a daze. At that time, son Qiancai Only when you know it can you understand that the so-called king is selfless.

His father-in-law, the father-in-law who was connected with him by blood, only valued the country of Yan State, and his son, and he was one of several sons, was nothing in the father-in-law's heart.

He could survive, he could survive the plague, and it was the unrelated step-in-law, whom he had somewhat repelled and hated when he was in his grandfather's arms, who snatched him back from the gate of hell.

The relatives you want to be close to, send you to die.

You hate people who are on the defensive and make you live.

Emotional liking and actual interests can be so different.

In the end, the political struggle between the inner court and the outer court that Gong Ziqian was worried about did not happen because the death came so suddenly.

When Xia Yu left Yicheng to bring back Tian Shu's coffin, Young Master Qian's dull and calm appearance concealed an emotion that was almost frightening. In one breath, at that time he didn't know that he would soon become the king of Yan.

After succeeding to the throne, Gong Ziqian recalled Qi Xun and Qi Lu, and gave these people relatively high Xujue, and treated them with courtesy. Then, in the same way, he also visited Sun You, his uncle, and gave them the same honor. Xujue, treat each other with courtesy.

I still remember when I went to see Sun You, looking at this gray-haired and aging man, Gong Ziqian almost couldn't recognize him.

Is this his always domineering uncle?So old, so weak.

However, it was this old and weak uncle who looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy when he heard the news of Xia Yu's death.

Not long after Sun You returned to Yicheng, he followed in the footsteps of the monarch and passed away soon.

Many people say that the son is modest and generous. When his father-in-law was in power, the internal and external courtiers who had been in dispute were reconciled in his hands. The Yan State could be twisted into one rope, the court was stable, and the country continued to be strong. efforts are inseparable.

But Gong Ziqian thinks this kind of praise is ridiculous. The prosperity of the Yan Kingdom is due to the hard work of his father-in-law and his wife for more than [-] years to strengthen the country and enrich the people. .

But Shen Zili, who caused his inner father to fall twice, had always been well-clothed and well-fed, and he died well and peacefully.

In fact, he wanted to get rid of this person, but when he still needed Shen Zili, this person left before he made up his mind to get rid of this person.

This world is so cruel and ridiculous. Gong Ziqian knew it a long time ago, but he felt a little regretful and resentful.

But so what, in the history, so many people pass by in a flash, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, it is just a funny drama, it will pass in the end, and it will turn into dead bones in the tomb.

Everyone who ever existed will, eventually, become history, without exception.
