In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Horses are not allowed in front of the Taimiao, so Young Master Furen got off his horse and walked a long way away. When he reached the steps of the Taimiao, Young Master Furen looked up at the ancestral temple dedicated to the successive monarchs of the Yan Kingdom, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. up the steps.

In the Ancestral Temple, under the spiritual position of the successive monarchs of the Yan Kingdom, the royal family and clan relatives are arranged on the left and right, and the ones who occupy the leading positions are Gong Bohou and a plump and noble-looking middle-aged man—the son of Furen. Father Yan Guoguo.

At this time, the eldest son Bai said in a very excited voice in front of the clan: "Bai also knows that he has committed a serious crime. This time the attack on Qi was led by Bai Yili. The defeat of our country of Yan can only be blamed by Bai. Farewell to the ancestors, and shameless to the people of the country of Yan, but Bai is also a son, how can he sit and watch his father-in-law being imprisoned and humiliated by Xiaoxiao?" His voice choked with sobs paused, and he turned to Guofu Di made a deep bow and said, "As long as I can save my father-in-law, I would like to tie myself to the Taimiao and let my father-in-law handle it."

The plump and noble state of Yan State, the Chudi clan, originally belonged to the Beidi tribe. In the past, the Yan State and the Beidi tribe had wars, which lasted for a long time, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner.

Later, Yanjun Ji Fan accepted the advice of his courtiers and adopted the strategy of harmony with the army, and asked Beidi people to be the monarch's wife. Therefore, at this time, Yan Guoguo's Di clan was from Beidi.

Compared with the princes of the Central Plains who were influenced by rituals and music, the barbarians are always more direct. For example, at this time, Guo Chu Di's complexion is very ugly. After decades of being pampered and pampered, he has become plump and rich, and he has lost a bit of the ferocity of the barbarians and a bit more of the aristocratic demeanor of the Central Plains nobles, but he still can't learn to look at the children he raised with his own hands at this time. When exercising benevolence, righteousness and morality, you can follow the past without changing your face.

So Di's expression was ugly, and he bowed to Young Master Bai, speechless for a while.

At this time, a somewhat rough voice came: "Eldest brother, there is no need to ask my father to deal with it. If father-in-law can be rescued, I would like to bind myself in front of the Taimiao and let my elder brother deal with it."

As soon as the familiar voice came, Eldest Young Master Bai's complexion changed drastically. He turned around and looked around the voice, only to see that the man who walked in from the door was thick and rough, but he stood firm and straight. With a bit of inflexible stubbornness, Yao Gan just broke in like this, covered with dust all over his body, looked at the eldest son Bai tiredly but firmly, and said: "I confronted the Qi people in front of the army, and my elder brother is so concerned. Father, you should plan a good strategy with me before the army, why make things difficult for Father."

The eldest son Bai unconsciously clenched his fists. Facing this younger brother who doesn't speak and behave like a nobleman, he can never be calm. His life began to be destroyed when this person appeared. He should have justifiably inherited the position of monarch He enjoys the love of his parents with peace of mind, but since the appearance of this little brother who looks like a pariah, the position of monarch will no longer fall on him justifiably, and the inner father who loves him no longer loves him. How can he If you are not jealous, how can you not hate.

But young master Bai finally suppressed this jealousy and this hatred, because he knew that his life was far away at this time, if he won, he would be the king of Yan, and if he lost, he would die without a place to die, so the eldest son Bai saluted the young master with a seemingly sincere attitude, and said: "Second brother, don't blame me. Today, my country of Yan has been defeated by Qi, and my second brother was ordered to turn the tide in the face of danger. The people of the country, whoever Disrespect?"

Young Master Furen looked at Young Master Bai indifferently, waiting for his eldest brother's next words.

Sure enough, Young Master Bai said again: "However, a month ago, my second brother donated food and grass to the state of Qi, and he besieged Changdi without attacking him. Recently, there are rumors that my second brother does not want my father-in-law to return to the country."

As soon as these words came out, the complexion of many clan members of the public clan became bad. Although Ji Fan was confused and treated his own people like pigs and dogs, his closest relatives and brothers were really good, especially the few A younger brother from a concubine was supposed to "marry" according to the etiquette system, but Ji Fan insisted on stopping him, and even gave him a fief to be the emperor. The faces of the younger brother and the uncles who are submissive are particularly ugly.

The young master's convincing eyes slowly flicked across the faces of the family members in the public office. Once again, the clear sense of incompatibility filled his whole body. He had never been good at such literary and heated words, but at this time, no matter whether he was good at words or not, He wanted to defend himself, saying: "Serving people is not giving food and grass to the people of Qi, but Qi is willing to exchange food and grass for the captives of Yan State who were captured in Changdi City." Dao said, "In the past, our country of Yan attacked Qi with all the young and strong people in the southern city, and the result was a big defeat. The southern city was almost empty. Those who were drawn from the north were supposed to guard against the army of the Shanrong. The population of our Yan country is so depleted, and the people of Qi offered to exchange food and grass for the captured soldiers of our Yan country. How could I refuse, and let the father of the youngest son not return home, Let the old parents lose their parents and children."

What he said was very sincere, but Young Master Bai pulled up his sleeves very flatly, and said, "If you can exchange grain and grass for prisoners of war, can't you exchange grain and grass for father-in-law to come back? In the heart of the second brother, how are the common people? Important, father-in-law's life is so frivolous!"

Sun You followed the young master Furen into the Taimiao, just now he could not hold back his words, but now he couldn't hold back anymore, he stepped forward and said: "It would be great if we could exchange food and grass for the king to return to the country, but the people of Qi don't want it, Naiqihe?"

When Gong Bohou saw his grandson coming forward to join him, he was a little anxious, and he also took a step forward with a cane and shouted: "You boy, it's your turn to talk too much!"

Seeing that his grandfather was angry, Sun You was a little scared, but he was really upset, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by the young master's hand, and said: "If the people of Qi are willing to negotiate peace with us, you can exchange food and grass for your father-in-law, and convince you to behave like a man." Son, naturally you should try your best to deal with it, but I have repeatedly sent people to discuss with Xia Yu about matters related to father-in-law, but they couldn't get in."

Young Master Bai sneered, and said, "You can't get in? Haha, the second younger brother captured Tian Chang's son Tian Xiang, and threatened him with Tian Xiang. Does Xia Yu dare to refuse you to meet and discuss the matter of father-in-law? I think The second younger brother has no intention of saving the father-in-law back to the court." Before the words fell, the son-in-law Bai burst into tears, turned around and removed the box that was placed on the sacrificial offering table, and said with a trembling voice, "The father-in-law fell into the Qi Guotian clan. Such rebellious ministers and thieves suffered terribly humiliation, such traitorous ministers as Tian, ​​who didn't know how to respect etiquette, actually... cut off my father-in-law's finger, and threatened me that if I don't bring back my father-in-law's handwriting, I will die again. Cut off a finger and send it!"

Young Master Bai said that when he opened the box, it was Ji Fan's little finger that had been preserved with lime. All the family members of the Duke of Yan were frightened by this thing, and Ji Fan's concubine brothers panicked. After that, it was full of anger, and the eyes were bloodshot.

Young Master Bai wiped his tears with his sleeve, and cried, "Father is looking forward to getting out of trouble day and night, and my second brother is a son of man, how can I bear it!"

In this Taimiao, everyone's eyes on Young Master Furen have changed at this moment, there are indifference and suspicion, and those uncles like Young Master Furen are full of anger.

The young master only felt chills in his heart, let out a long sigh, and said nothing more.

However, at this moment, there was another fight and yelling, and a guy with disheveled hair and rags broke into the Taimiao of the Yan Kingdom, pointed a long sword in his hand at Young Master Bai, and shouted angrily: "You traitor, how dare you do this?" Talking nonsense!"

Young Master Furen heard the voice quite familiar, turned his head to look at the person coming, barely recognized him, and said: "Are you Qin Kai?"
