Chapter 678: Looking for the Dead Yan Kingdom
Lu Di's words suddenly made the court silent, and Wu Zixu shook his white head at this time: "Your Majesty! ”
Kneeling down on His Majesty is an old tear, and all the civil and military officers are also tearful when they see this. For many years, Wu Zixu has dedicated his life to the Qi country, and the scholars seem to have forgotten his purpose for the Qi country.
He didn't complain, he just worked hard for the prosperity of the Qi country.
Now that Lu Di is talking about this matter openly in the court, Wu Zixu's nearly thirty years of suppressed anger are all vented at this moment.
Wu Zixu cried like a child at this time.
Lu Di stepped forward to help him up, comforted him, and said that he had never forgotten this matter, but the time was not ripe, so he kept pressing this matter. Now that Bai Gongsheng and King Chu Zhao have Xiong Zhen who have worked hard to exhaust the vitality of the Chu State, if they don't attack Chu anymore at this time, when will they wait?
There is also the Yue country that has always existed like a poisonous scorpion, although his strength has been exploited by the Qi country without any strength, but the exploitation of the Qi country does not deepen the hatred of the ordinary scholars of the Yue country towards the Qi country.
Therefore, this issue of transgression should also be resolved as soon as possible.
But although Lu Di thought well, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and soon a news came, which made the Qi court blow up the nest.
Yan Guo actually killed the merchants of Qi State. And the reason is very different, the reason given is that the merchants of Qi are too rich, and the Yan country is too poor, so it should be average.
Of course, the merchants of Qi were unwilling, and the result of their unwillingness was that they were killed, and all their property was confiscated.
If it is an ordinary businessman, it is nothing, but the background of this merchant is a little special, he is a merchant sent by the Qi State to sell horses to the Yan State back to the Qi State.
That is, there is an official background.
Horses are urgently needed for the country of Qi, which is now developing greatly. On the spot, the ministers were raging to attack the Yan Kingdom and destroy Yan.
Lu Di pondered for a long time, extinguishing Yan, he had considered this when he annexed the country, but then he thought about avenging Wu Zixu first, but now when he encounters such a thing, he has to make him rethink.
Lu Di thought for a moment, and finally he looked at the Minister of State Wu Zixu, as long as Wu Zixu said revenge, he would not hesitate to take revenge.
At this time, everyone in the court also looked at Wu Zixu.
Wu Zixu was silent for a while, he bowed down and held up the jade wat and said: "Your Majesty, since the drought triggered the war between Yan and Zhongshan, the young vitality of the Yan Kingdom has disappeared, and now is the weakest time, we only need 80,000 troops to sweep the entire northern land of Yan Kingdom."
"Your Majesty's suggestion, kill Yan."
Wu Zixu's words were very sonorous, and the echoes in the hall of the earthquake were continuous. His Majesty's civil and military officers all whispered left and right when they heard this.
Seeing this, Lu Di shouted silently, and then Zhong Wenwu stopped talking, and he looked at the general Sun Wu again: "General, what do you think?" ”
Sun Wu glanced at Wu Zixu and said in a deep voice: "The humble general agrees with the suggestion of the prime minister."
Lu Di still didn't say anything, and looked at Yu Pu Yu Hou in the imperial history.
Pu Yuhou panted and said, "Weichen, minister, also, agree." ”
Lu Di looked at this old minister of Ju who was subdued by his own three-eared son, and he was very worried, because looking at his appearance of black energy, he might not have a few months to live. Thinking that after the death of Jigongsun Qing's illness and old age, another confidant minister was going to die, Lu Di was unspeakably sad.
A new generation replaces the old.
When he was only a teenager during the Battle of Juguo, he is now the father of eight or nine children, oh, not to be precise, he is a grandfather.
Time flies, how can you not sigh?
Lu Di's eyes were a little moist, he held back his tears, and looked at His Majesty's civil and military forces, and his gaze stayed on Zuo Xiangran.
Ji Ran agreed with the words of Xiang Wat.
Then look at the right phase of the imperial disaster, the imperial disaster is now too old, full of age spots, Lu Di is angry, and his heart is also heavy, if he leads the army to destroy Yan, maybe when he comes back, he will not be able to see this old minister.
Lu Di continued to sweep his gaze to the six major mansions under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as the generals of the General Zuofu, seeing that they all agreed, he did not hesitate, he said to Wu Zixu: "The righteousness of the Prime Minister, the widow is moved, the Qi country is moved, the widow here represents the ancestors of the Qi country on behalf of the subjects of the Qi country to the country to toast a glass of wine." ”
After that, the temple people quickly presented the wine, and Lu Di picked up the wine glass and handed it to Wu Zixu personally.
Wu Zixu mourned, prostrate on the ground, and called out to the king.
Lu Di pulled him up and drank with him. All Wenwu were deeply moved at this moment.
Lu Di appeased Wu Zixu and said to everyone: "Now that the widow has become an uncle, your titles have also been promoted."
Speaking of this, Lu Di smiled and waved his hand, and the temple people picked up the edict and read it.
Wu Zixu, the minister of state, is the middle secretary, the imperial history of Cheng Pu Yuhou is the secretary, the general Sun Wu is the secretary, the Taiwei Mansion is the secretary, the Taiwei Mansion is the secretary, the Dazong Mansion Gongsun Xia is the secretary, the right minister is the secretary, and the left minister Jiran is the eldest husband......
A whole list was read out, and everyone shouted long live Lu Di.
They originally thought that their monarch was deliberately suppressing everyone's titles and not rising, but they didn't expect such an accident today.
In the cheers of the crowd, there are also politically sensitive people who sense that something is wrong, such as the right prime minister, why is his title qing, and the left minister, who is slightly higher than his official position, is the eldest husband?
They speculated whether it was related to the recent rumors that the imperial calamity advocated Lu Di to be the king, if this means that the king does not admit that he has the desire to be the king, but the time is not right.
The people in the court of Qi State, which one of them is not Lu Di from the network of the princes of the world, after they shouted, they also had this speculation. It's just that no one dares to say it explicitly.
Another reward that surprised Zhong Wenwu was about Fan Li, who was idle at home, and he was also named the eldest husband.
Now that there are two elders in the court, many people have figured out the taste. Ji Ran and Fan Li may want to become His Majesty's ministers, and the most likely thing is that Ji Ran will replace the old and unreformed Pu Yuhou, and Fan Li will replace Hua Zhou, who is also dying.
It's just that the position of the left phase is vacant, oh not to be precise, the position of the right phase is also vacant, after all, the royal disaster is also old, and there are no more years to live.
In this case, who will inherit the position of the left and right phases? A group of people began to speculate crankily.
Lu Di took in everyone's expressions, the reason why he deliberately rewarded them like this was for the sake of the two old ministers Pu Yuhou and Yu Yu, on the one hand, he didn't want to wait for these two old ministers to die or be the eldest doctor, on the other hand, he wanted to inject some vitality into the Qi State court, which had been quiet for many years, so that the capable ministers could perform harder, and bring the newcomers into the position of left and right.
After discussing it for a while, the detailed plan for fighting with Yan Guo, Lu Di saw that the time was not early, set up a banquet to fight the sheep platform, and feasted with all the civil and military forces.
In the banquet, in addition to the silk and bamboo orchestral singing and dancing, it is a sheep fighting competition.
Lu Di looked at it and seemed to have returned to twenty-eight years ago, when his father Qi Jinggong held a banquet here and let the Gao family and the Chen family fight sheep. It's just that his father Qi Jinggong, Dasi Nong Liang Qiu, the Gao family, the Chen family, what about them? Now they have all dissipated in the flood of history, buried by the loess.
Dead, all dead!
