Chapter 495: Blood Change in the Qi Kingdom's Court (I)
Xizi Shi Yiguang said angrily when he heard this: "No wonder, he wants to marry Wu and Qi, it seems that he is a hypocritical person, a hermit who can't be fake!" β
The corners of Lu Di's mouth twitched when he heard this, but if he thought about Shi Yiguang's words carefully, it was not unreasonable, whether Ji Zha was in the court or in the opposition, he was actually worried about the court and the people of Wu State.
The carriage rumbled forward, Lu Di lifted the curtain, looked at the dark and gloomy sky, his heart was always throbbing for some reason, and he faintly felt that a big change was coming.
Qidu, Linzi, the atmosphere has been a little weird recently, and suddenly there was a thunderclap in the gloomy sky, and the rainy season has arrived.
Qi Jinggong was full of white hair, he was almost lying on the desk looking at the chapters reported from all over the place, his eyesight has become worse and worse over the years, he had to order all the chapters that were reported to be written in large letters as much as possible, but even so, he had to lie on the desk to see the words on it.
Nakayuka's gray hair, like a loyal guard, quietly guarded him like that.
A gust of wind with the smell of rain blew into the temple, and the candle flame seemed to be about to burst in the flickering way.
Nakayu hurriedly asked people to close the doors and windows.
Qi Jinggong coughed in the cool breeze, and he put the pen down: "Zhongyou, what day is it at this time?" β
Zhong You calculated and said: "Your Majesty, it's time for the third watch, it's time to rest."
Zhong You saw that Qi Jinggong wanted to stand up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, Qi Jinggong hammered his sore knees and said: "Old, old, it seems that the widow is really old."
While sighing, he shuddered and put away the cloak on his body, wanting to wrap himself tighter.
"Yangsheng hasn't come back from hunting yet?" Qi Jinggong thought of something and frowned.
Zhong You shook his head, and Qi Jinggong frowned even more when he saw this: "Zhong You, the widow has been worried in his heart for the past few days, and he feels that something big is about to happen, do you think it will be Yang Sheng...... him?"
Speaking of this, Qi Jinggong coughed due to emotional instability, and Zhong You was busy beating his back and comforting: "Your Majesty, although Yangshenggongzi's condition has not improved, it has not deteriorated, I heard that Chen Hengfu has exhausted his family property to find witch doctors and medicinal materials for Yangshenggongzi, I believe that Yangshenggongzi will get better soon."
Qi Jinggong didn't say anything when he heard this, but changed the topic and said: "Zhongyou, the widow has a question, why did Yangsheng go out hunting since he had such a serious illness?" This matter has always been a little incomprehensible? β
Zhong You shook his head, he had thought about this too, but he couldn't think of a reason.
"Your Majesty, Dr. Ji Ran was framed, why didn't you save him when you knew it?" Nakayu suddenly remembered something.
Qi Jinggong's body stood still for a while when he heard this, and then continued to spread out in the hall with the help of Zhong You.
Ji Ran, the only one hidden in the court of the largest Lu Di hole card, was taken down a few months ago because of a collision case, many people know that things are strange, after all, how can the horse that is riding at the end of the day be frightened, and after being frightened, he went crazy and hit people, but the fact is that Ji Ran did kill a nobleman on the street on a horse.
After the fall of Ji Ran, the court was quiet, because the general Guoxia who favored Lu Di was idle at home, the original great admonition Pu Yuhou was degraded and demoted to the East China Sea Order, Sun Wu was also forced to go home to guard filial piety after defeating the Jin army, Yan Yuan, Fan Li, Gao Chai Bu, Shang Zai, Yu Gong, the three major cavalry generals and others were even more degraded and degraded, and those who were imprisoned were also suppressed.
And Ai Kong, the leader of the faction who supported Lu Di with a clear eye, also fell and scattered because of his death the year before last, and his subordinates either defected to become people of the Yangsheng family, or were demoted and imprisoned.
Wu Zixu is one of the better mixed among these people, rising and falling, descending and rising.
Du Yan is still his prime minister, but this prime minister has less and less real power, he feels that his rights are hollowed out by his subordinate assistant Chen Heng, it is just a matter of face, he doesn't want to die of old age, and he can't even save face, so he turns a blind eye.
The great sect Lu Qing was originally quite a member of the Lu Di faction, but he was a member of the clan, he had no real power, and he couldn't afford any tricks, and besides, Yangsheng had been good to him over the years, and he had become the kind of person who went with the flow.
In short, almost all of the people in the entire court are now "Yangsheng people".
But Qi Jinggong obviously saw it but ignored it, which made Zhong You a little confused, if it went on like this, it would not be of much use for Gongzi Tu to return to China.
Just as they were both thinking about it in the temple, suddenly a huge lightning bolt struck outside the temple, and the lightning lit up the whole temple, followed by a terrifying thunder.
"Your Majesty, will you go back and rest?" Nakayu looked at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, and admonished.
Qi Jinggong shook his head: "Zhong You, why did you say that Tu'er didn't return to the country now, didn't he know about the widow...... Miss him? β
Qi Jinggong originally wanted to say that he didn't know that the widow was going to die, but when he came, he turned his death into thinking about Lu Di.
Zhong You said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the latest news is that Gongzi has left the Yue Kingdom, and I believe that he will soon set foot on the land of the Qi Kingdom, and you will be able to do it then."
But before the latter words were finished, I could only hear the shouting and killing outside the hall, and the shouting and killing sound was even more terrifying under the thunder of the rainy night.
Qi Jinggong was shocked, and Zhong You even drew the sword on his body on the spot, and ordered the henchman Huwei outside the hall to find out what happened.
"Palace coup?!" The first thing that Qi Jinggong thought of was these four words, because sixty years ago, on such a stormy night, he ascended to the throne with the support of Cui Zhuyan Ying and a group of doctors.
But after 60 years, is what happened 60 years ago about to be repeated?
"Yangsheng?! The widow is your father, do you dare to treat your father like this? Qi Jinggong's chest rose and fell, and his full head of white hair looked a little hideous at this time.
Zhong You's hair rose upside down when he heard this, and he seemed to have figured out something he had never figured out, that is, why did Ming Ming Yangsheng's son go out to hunt when he was seriously ill, where is this hunting, this is to go outside the city to transfer troops.
Zhong You couldn't help but scold Yang Sheng for being disobedient and would be punished by God.
After a while, Huwei, a henchman outside the hall, ran in covered in blood, confirming that it was indeed Yang Sheng's subordinates who carried out the coup d'Γ©tat.
Seeing this, Zhong You no longer hesitated to order the tiger guards to assemble and prepare to rush out of the siege with Qi Jinggong.
The thunder and rain outside the temple grew louder and louder.
Qi Jinggong's thin and old body trembled, he looked at Zhong You, looked at the only remaining tiger guard in the hall who was covered in blood, and laughed.
"Your Majesty" everyone was shocked.
Qi Jinggong didn't say anything, but walked back to the desk, tore off the close-fitting white clothes, wrote with a brush, and finally stamped the big seal of the monarch of Qi State.
