Chapter 107: Ignorance Kills Qi Xianggong (4)
Yong Liao was originally sent by Qi Xianggong to Kwai Hill to oppose Gongsun Ignorance, and his unruly temperament made Ignorance extremely unhappy. After the death of Qi Xianggong, Yong Liao lost his backer, and ignorance began to treat him very tyrannically.
The reason why ignorance has not killed Yong Liao is because Yong Liao is indeed a capable person who can manage Kwai Qiu in an orderly manner; second, because abuse is a very interesting thing, and he has to enjoy it slowly; The third is because he didn't take this little person seriously at all.
The high and the kingdom performed a bloody ritual with their ministers, and issued the most vicious curses for the betrayal of the Covenant. Then Erqing tactfully expressed his willingness to reconcile to the "new king" through his agent. Ignorance was very excited, so he sent a companion who was even more ignorant than himself, and went to see Gao Wei under the pretext of visiting the sick.
Lian Cheng boasted a lot about himself when he returned to his life, and he said a few words that moved Gao Wei to cry bitterly and frequently apologize, saying that Gao Wei said that he would enter the palace as soon as his body recovered. Gongsun smiled and nodded ignorantly, praised him incessantly, and rewarded him with a lot of money.
These practices aroused the strong jealousy of Guan Zhi's father, because he was also a "man of great merit", and even the title was the same as the title, but he had been suppressed by the company. Lian Cheng felt that Xinjun's attitude towards him was tepid, all because that guy was out of the limelight (of course, the new lady and even the concubine did not blow a cool breeze by the pillow).
After the day was dispersed, Guan Zhi's father returned home sullenly. To his surprise, Yong Liao actually came to visit him. Because the two got along fairly well during the time they were in Aoiqiu, Guan Zhi's father didn't think much about it, so he entertained him for a grumbling drink.
Guan Zhi's father complained: "Lian Cheng relied on his illustrious exploits and his sister's noble position, and now he is so arrogant that he is boundless. He even looked down on me as an old friend, and fought with me everywhere. You know, if I hadn't saved his life, the tree on his grave would have been one person taller! Now he has forgotten my kindness, and God knows what will happen in the future! ”
Yong Liao said: "Liancheng is an out-and-out villain, I have long seen this." Once the villain has the will, he will not tolerate others to be equal to him. Although the ride is a temporary success, it will not last long, because he is proud of his achievements and even his concubines are proud of their pampering. Pride will lead to greed, greed will inevitably ask for more, more will inevitably force up, and forcing will inevitably cause resentment of the king.
"You know, Xinjun is also a person who no one looks down on, and he must get rid of Lian Cheng. But you should still take the initiative to make that day come sooner. I suddenly came up with a way to suppress the limelight of the joint ride, and at the same time improve your status in the heart of the prince.
"At that time, after Xibochang was proclaimed king in Xiqi, he posthumously recognized his grandfather as 'King Taiwang' and his father as 'Wang Ji', to show that he did not dare to be the first king. Now the new monarch's position is still unstable, and the most important reason is his status as a grandson - there is still a large group of sons, where is the turn to get the grandson to ascend the throne?
"In that case, why don't you persuade the new monarch to posthumously recognize his ancestor Yi Zhongnian as the Marquis of Qi? In this way, the new monarch will become a son, and won't the ascension to the throne and the palace be smooth in his testimony? If this is successful, you will be the greatest hero! You must go to see the prince as soon as possible, because Lian Cheng is also very refined yin (at least a little more refined than you), don't let him take the lead. ”
The next day, Guan Zhi's father proudly raised the matter at the court meeting, and the face of the co-rider immediately became like a clay sculpture, and with the unanimous approval of the courtiers (of course, for each reason), the proposal was immediately approved.
Gongsun Wuzhi's temple was built on Kwai Hill, which houses the god of Yi Zhongnian. Ignorant of the high and the country had surrendered, believing that there was no opposition in the country, he decided to immediately move his father's god to Linzi and hold a posthumous recognition and temple ascension ceremony.
At this time, it was already the first month of the ninth year of the reign of Duke Luzhuang (BC685), and Gongsun Wuzhi left Lian Cheng in the capital, and he took Guan Zhifu and the honor guard to march towards Kwai Hill; Yong Liao led an elite army to set up an ambush on the road it had to pass. The army launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting guard of honor, and Ignorance and Guan Zhi's father were killed instantly. The family armies of Gao and Guo eliminated the ignorant henchmen in Linzi, including those who had no integrity and saw the wind and steered the rudder. But there are still some people who have turned the rudder too fast, and they have become heroes who have become heroes in the suppression of the rebellious party.
The ignorant monarch's dream was shattered after only a hundred and ten days. The people of Qi said that ignorance had only done two good things in his life: one was to isolate himself from the Qi people with his gang of scum who liked to make trouble, and the other was to use the death of Qi Xianggong and himself to pave the way to the throne for the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the Duke of Qi Huan.
The state of Qi suddenly became a country without a monarch. You know, the monarch controls power, power maintains order, and order represents stability. A country without a monarch is bound to have internal strife and division; Although there was no invasion by a foreign enemy, the consequences were worse than being attacked by a strong enemy.
At the most critical moment of the Qi state, the ministers debated the issue of supporting the new monarch, but Gao Wei and Guo Yizhong said that they would not participate in the discussion, but only supported the result. As a result, the ministers were divided into three factions, one faction supported Gongzi Jiao, the other faction supported Gongzi Xiaobai, and the rest of the people did not know which faction to adhere to because the first two factions were evenly matched, so they formed their own faction.
The sub-correction faction ran around, and the Xiaobai faction jumped up and down; The two factions often had one group in the east square of the temple and the other in the west square of the temple, and at the same time gave speeches to the people in exchange for the support of the people. Gao and Guo had to send a large number of soldiers to maintain order on the scene. None of the ministers could convince anyone, so they decided to use force to solve the problem. A terrible, nationwide catastrophe is brewing.
