Chapter Seventy-One: Duke Qi Xiang kills Duke Lu Huan
The surname Jiang is the only surname that originated from Emperor Yan, and the state of Qi is the largest country with the surname Jiang.
The state of Qi was appointed as the chief of the princes during the Taigong era, and has always been married to the royal family; The state of Qi then became the object of friendship among the princes of the world. The princes with different surnames did not hesitate to marry the most beautiful and intelligent aristocratic women to the Qi State, and were proud to be able to marry the Qi State.
Due to the marriage relationship, the bloodline of the Qi people has become very complicated, and the offspring have excellent genes. The male nobles of the Qi State were tall and handsome, and the women were tall and beautiful. Duke Qi's sister Zhuang Jiang married Duke Wei Zhuang, and Wei Guoren composed a poem "Shuoren" (meaning big beauty) to praise her fairy-like beauty.
Qi Xugong is a beautiful man, and his children have also inherited their father's genes. When Qi Xianggong was still the prince, he often appeared in the streets and alleys of Linzi by car, and there were always some big girls and little daughters-in-law shouting around the front and back of the car, throwing handkerchiefs and belly pockets at him. The crown prince also particularly enjoyed the women's pursuit of him, smiling and nodding at them very gracefully. It is not uncommon for women to scream and faint at the sight of him smiling at themselves.
Duke Qi also has two particularly famous daughters who look like immortals: one is Xuanjiang, who is married to Wei Xuangong; The other is Wen Jiang, who is married to Lu Huangong.
When Wen Jiang reached the age of Jilu, Duke Qi began to actively look for Ruyi Langjun for her. At that time, the Duke of Zheng was particularly appreciative of Prince Zheng, and he boasted about him in front of his beloved daughter, intentionally or unintentionally. Wen Jiang was moved by what his father said, and his eyes lit up and asked if he could let her meet the other party secretly.
You must know that Duke Qi is very doting on children, and in order to satisfy the wishes of his beloved daughter, he sent the prince Zhu'er to Zheng Guo to visit; According to etiquette, Zheng Zhuang Gong sent the crown prince to Qi for a return visit. When the crown prince suddenly handed over his credentials to the court, Wen Jiang hid behind the curtain and peeped through the curtain. At a glance, she was immediately overwhelmed by the heroic young man, if it weren't for Prince Zhu'er covering her mouth in time and carrying her away, she would have rushed out and knocked Prince Zheng down.
The subsequent situation was described earlier, and the prince did not know anything about the elm head. The people of Qi were very annoyed, thinking that the people of Zheng did not know how to raise - because except for the royal family, the people of Qi never took the initiative to marry other countries.
The little girl who was abandoned by the "negative man" has been guilty of depression since then. The prince's brother often went to play with her when he had nothing to do, amused her and accompanied her to relieve her boredom. Powerful hormones are surging in the bodies of the two young people who are just starting to fall in love, and the two soon develop into a naked brother-sister relationship.
The incest incident was secretly reported to the Duke of Qi. Duke Qi was furious, he put the two under house arrest separately, and then married Wen Jiang to Duke Lu Huan while the scandal had not yet spread out of the court.
Wen Jiang later gave birth to four sons: Lu Zhuanggong, Qing's father, Shuya, and Ji You.
When Duke Qi was alive, Wen Jiang had the experience of returning to China several times to save his relatives. Duke Qi will never allow incest to happen again, and has been sending people to monitor the actions of the two, Wen Jiang and the prince can only express their affection for each other with a momentary eye collision.
After Qi Xianggong ascended the throne, there was no power in the world to stop him from committing depravity and fornication, so he invited Lu Huangong to meet with him, and secretly informed Wen Jiang that she must come with him.
Wen Jiang played a little trick on Lu Huan Gong for a while, and Huan Gong loved this woman very much, so he had to agree to take Wen Jiang with him
Travel.
The doctor advised: "Since ancient times, women have been forbidden to enter military camps and missions. Besides, men have a home, and women have a room, and they cannot be mixed together; Otherwise, it will not work. Huan Gong didn't hear that this "man" was alluding to Qi Xianggong, he thought it was referring to himself, so he didn't take it to heart.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Emperor Lu Huan (694 BC), the monarchs of Qi and Lu met in Luokou as promised. Luokou is now Luokou Park in Jinan, which was owned by Lu at that time. There is still a stone tablet standing in the park, which is engraved: "Eight out of ten years, the Spring King Zhengyue Guild is here."
After the meeting between the two monarchs of Qi and Lu, Duke Qi Xiang further invited Duke Lu Huan to visit Linzi.
Due to the conservative and closed Lu country and the free and open Qi country, the people of Lu have long been full of curiosity about the customs of Qi country. Huan Gongfei happily accepted the invitation - the last days of his life were spent in Linzi City.
Linzi was the largest city in the East at the time, and it was about the same size as Chengzhou. Lu Huan saw the majestic city wall and tall city gate, and was warmly welcomed by the people when the honor guard entered the city. The market in Linzi is very prosperous, and people come and go endlessly. You can see a lot of people dressed in exotic attire here: from Dongyi to Xirong, from Su Shen to Wu Yue, as long as you can think of people from other countries, you can see them here.
Lu Huangong was riding in the same car with Qi Xianggong at that time, and he pointed to a few pedestrians with left hair and asked, "Aren't those people barbarians?" How can they swagger through the market without restraint? โ
Qi Xianggong said: "The first monarch is a native of Dongyi, and the Qi people are also the descendants of Dongyi, and this is originally the city of Dongyi. โ
Lu Huangong saw many people crowded around the Xuanche again, handing out baskets full of fruits and hazelnuts to Qi Xianggong, and the entourage did not stop and drive away, but accepted all the orders with a smile on their faces, and Qi Xianggong kept smiling and nodding to people to show his gratitude. Lu Huan Gong asked in surprise again: "How can you allow those small people to approach the monarch's car at will?" โ
Qi Xianggong replied: "Do you have to wait for the little people to hold swords and shields before they are allowed to approach?" Only a lone man and a tyrant are afraid of the people approaching himโof course, I don't mean you; Qi and Lu Li are different. โ
The procession entered the magnificent palace, and Lu Huan Gong watched the temple ceremony of the Qi people (the Taimiao Temple was built in the palace). His impression of the aligners was that they weren't serious about anything.
In the evening, Duke Qi held a banquet in the temple dedicated to the god of Taigong to entertain Duke Lu Huan, and Wen Jiang also attended the banquet. Lu Huangong also met Wei Huigong, who was in exile here. This is the first time the two have met, but Lu Huangong feels that the other party is more obscene and annoying than he imagined.
Soon, Lu Huan Gong was drunk and unconscious under the turn of the Qi people. After the banquet, the Qi people placed him in the bedroom of the Taimiao.
Lu Huangong woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and found that he was the only one on the bed, but Wen Jiang was gone. He was immediately drunk, and immediately called his personal eunuch, but the eunuch couldn't tell where she was. Lu Huangong's heart sank, and he quietly flashed out of the temple with the eunuch, hiding in the dark to observe the movements in the palace.
When Dongfang wanted to know, Wen Jiang slipped out of the main bed in a panic. She trotted all the way into the temple and gently pushed open the door of Duke Huan's bedroom, only to find that Huan Cheng was glaring at her.
Lu Huan asked her what she was doing all night, and Wen Jiang replied that she was chatting with her mother; Huan Gong asked if it was just their mother and daughter, and Wen Jiang said yes.
Lu Huan Gong was furious: "It's pure fart!" The widow saw with his own eyes that the yin who came out of the bedroom of Mrs. Xuan was an old man! Could it be that you are pretending? You came out of Qi Zhu'er's dormitory! Right? The widow asks you: Is Zitong my son or Qi Zhu'er's son? โ
Wen Jiang's little temper also came up, and she was not afraid of anyone except her father. She had a big quarrel with Huan Gong and ran to find Mrs. Xu.
Qi Xianggong received the news immediately, and he couldn't help but bang his head against the wall, and kept blaming himself for being too careless. He really didn't dare to imagine what the situation would become, so he immediately summoned Peng Sheng to discuss countermeasures. Until this time, he had no intention of killing his brother-in-law.
Peng Sheng hurried over. After he understood the situation, he first said some cool words, which made Qi Xianggong quite annoyed. Peng Sheng laughed a few times and then said, "It seems that there is only one way to kill Lu Yun." In recent years, Lu Yun has been committed to resolving contradictions for the princes, meddling in the affairs of Zheng and Ji, and has the potential to push Lu to the hegemony of the Central Plains. If Lu is strong, Qi is weak. With Lu Yun here, the Qi State will not be able to destroy the Ji State.
"Do you remember what the prince said before he died? He said that if the prince could not destroy the kingdom of Ji during his lifetime, he should not enter the temple after death. If Lu Yun is killed, the new monarch of Lu is young and the nephew of the prince, and Lu will definitely become a vassal state of Qi. The end of the country is just around the corner. โ
After hearing this, Qi Xianggong finally made up his mind to take a risk, and he gave Peng Sheng the opportunity to commit this "rare crime" and establish a "peerless fame": because Peng Sheng is not only a famous wrestler, but also a famous villain.
The banquet was held in the suburban villa of a certain doctor in the Qi Kingdom, and the participants all pretended to have a look of nothing that had happened, eating and drinking, talking and laughing loudly. Lu Huangong was in an extremely low mood, he only drank a few glasses of stuffy wine, and soon got drunk.
Peng Sheng took Huan Gong out of the venue and hugged him to the car. He clasped his hands together and suddenly tightened his arms, and many of Lu Huangong's ribs were instantly squeezed and broken; Sharp stabs pierced deep into his internal organs, causing severe internal bleeding. Lu Huan screamed, vomited blood, and died a moment later.
Lu Huan was born at the beginning of an era without rules, and used undisciplined means to obtain the throne, but died in the despicable conspiracy of a ruleless person. Before Lu Huan was killed, such atrocities were unheard of; But as time went on, this sin became more and more common. When people look back at the killing of Lu Huangong, they feel that it is nothing.
The people of Lu transported Duke Huan's coffin back to Qufu, and Wen Jiang also returned with the funeral procession; Although she was the trigger for the murder, she was not involved in the conspiracy. After the death of Duke Lu Huan, the crown prince ascended the throne as Duke Lu Zhuang, who was only twelve years old at the time. The monarch of Lu was weak and not strong, and he lost the strength to fight against the Qi state.
The most saddened by the death of Lu Huan Gong were Ji Hou and Zheng Ligong, one lamented the death of the country, and the other felt that the restoration was far away.
The Lu people sent a mission to demand that the perpetrators be held accountable, but because the crimes committed by Gongzi Peng Sheng were too appalling, Qi Xianggong could not protect him at this time. Qi Xianggong summoned Peng Sheng over and announced the death sentence of the murderer in front of the people of Lu.
Peng Sheng was furious, he pointed at Qi Xianggong's nose and scolded: "It is said that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, but you even dig out the grass roots and chew it!" You fornicated with your sister, killed Lu Hou, and now you are putting the crime on me! I'll die, but I won't let you go! You will be slain by demons! โ
Everyone present hid their faces and smiled, Qi Xianggong covered his face with his sleeve, waved his hand and shouted: "Kill, kill!" โ
Although Peng Sheng died, his curse was finally fulfilled.
