Chapter 108: The Legend of Exodus (1)
Gao and Guo finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the two recruited the ministers into the Taimiao Temple and arranged heavy troops outside the temple; Be prepared to resort to force against opponents as soon as they cannot resolve their differences by peaceful means.
Gao Wei wore a solemn court robe and wore a crown of seven crowns on his head; Guo Yizhong was fully armed, holding a big axle; The two Shangqing stood side by side, their faces gloomy and solemn.
Gao Wei said: "Heaven has sent disaster to the Qi country, which is why there is a rebellion of ignorance. Now that the rebellion has been put down, the state of Qi has no monarch. You are all ministers of the state, so I prefer to believe that what you have done in the past is for the sake of your country and society, rather than for your own selfish interests. Since we are all pursuing the same interests, what is the inevitability of small differences?
"But what you're doing now makes me and Guozi more and more worried, worried about whether we are thinking wrong, worried about whether you all want to be the next co-driver or the master! Because you have already regarded the son supported by the other party as a monarch and want to usurp his throne!
"If you really want to be a rebel and a thief, then look at the fate of Ignorance and his accomplices! Think about it again, if your strength can be greater than the entire Qi country. If you are not the kind of people I am worried about, then we will find a solution calmly here, in front of the prince and the gods of the ancestors.
"Zhou Li stipulates that if the prince dies, he will be the same mother and brother; If there is no brother of the same mother, the elder will be established; If they are of similar age, they will be of noble character. Jie and Xiaobai are both the beloved sons of the ancestors, they are similar in age and have comparable conduct, but they are not in China. I can't choose between the prince and I, so I ask all the doctors to work together to support a monarch.
"Let God decide which son will be the new king! Let's see who God favors and which prince will send to the country of Qi first! The first to enter the Qi country is the king, and the second to enter is the coward. If someone is still not satisfied, then propose a fairer solution; If you can't come up with a way, and you dare to disobey the heavens, then get out of the Qi country or die under the axe! ”
Guo Yizhong said: "Whoever is in favor of it, who is against!" Please stand on the right side of the favor and on the left side of the opposition group. ”
The doctors have been exhausted by the current situation, and they really don't have the energy to continue fighting; It seemed that the proposal of the two lords was the only valid and fair solution, so they all crowded to the right side of the main hall.
Gongzi Jiao escaped when Qi Xianggong was killed, while Gongzi Xiaobai was in exile in the middle of Qi Xianggong's reign. Xiaobai's teacher's name is Bao Shuya, and he is an upright person who is not jealous and hateful. Uncle Bao was very disgusted by the shameless behavior of Qi Xianggong's brother and sister, but he was not qualified to meet the monarch, so he instigated Xiaobai to advise Xianggong and persuade the monarch to restrain his behavior.
Xiaobai is a rectum, and he said something unpleasant in front of the court doctor. Xiaobai's words stabbed the hornet's nest, Qi Xianggong suddenly became furious, and he also kicked Xiaobai out of the gate in front of the Manchu ministers. Xiaobai thought of the fate of his son Peng Sheng, and didn't even dare to return home, so he immediately fled with his followers.
Xiaobai's escape experience was full of hardships and humiliation. His mother was a patriot, so he planned to flee to the patriot. As the exiles passed through the state of Tan (present-day Zhangqiuxi, Shandong), they were shamelessly exploited and humiliated by local officials, who were born with a servile disposition to flatter and bully and beat water dogs.
Xiaobai angrily complained to Tan Zi, but he didn't expect that Tan Zi was behind the gang of rogue officials. As a result, the exiles were treated even more shamelessly, and then brutally expelled from the Tan state. It was probably at this time that Gongzi Xiaobai had the idea of seizing the throne and taking revenge.
The exiles relied on the sale of the beautiful jade they wore with them to reach the country; You know, the ancients regarded jade as a symbol of a gentleman! Wei Jun Qianmu and the second son of the left and right treated Xiaobai as a guest of honor - because Wei Huigong was ready to make a comeback under the protection of the Qi people; And Xiaobai's inside line can get the news that the patriots need.
Qianmu had wanted to contact Lu to fight Qi together, but Xiaobai told him that it wouldn't work at all. Because the current security of the Lu State is determined by the Qi State, and the Duke of Lu Zhuang and the Duke of Wei Hui are cousins, they have a natural sense of closeness; Lu Zhuang Gong and Qianmu are not related by blood, and he will definitely not join forces with Wei Guo to fight Qi.
But Qianmu didn't listen at all, and he sent an envoy to see Lu Zhuanggong, but he returned in vain; And Qianmu's behavior greatly stimulated the people of Qi. Later, Qi Xianggong led a large army to attack the country, and Xiaobai took the opportunity to escape. The fugitives traveled all the way east, and finally chose the Dongyi country, which was not controlled by the Qi State at that time, the Ju State, and settled there.
The treatment that Gongzi and Xiaobai received in the host country was completely different. The treatment given by Lu Zhuang Gong to Gongzi Jiao is very high, and the closer Gongzi Jiu is to the throne of Qi State, the higher the treatment. Xiaobai is different, Ju is a country that has not yet been fully civilized, and Xiaobai, as an exiled son, has no relatives in Ju; Juzi also gave them some second-hand goods before, but then ignored them.
During their time in Ju, the exiles had to rely on small businesses or the help of Qi people to maintain their increasingly undignified aristocratic life. With Xiaobai's arrogant character, it is incredible that he can still insist on living until the moment when he is ready to return to China to take it; And what supports him to live is completely the lofty ideal of revenge and hegemony.
Qi passed the news of Gongsun Wuzhi's execution to Xiaobai as soon as possible, and Xiaobai immediately decided to rush back to Linzi. Bao Shuya said: "It is not clear what the domestic political situation is, and the prince should not rush to return to China, perhaps the current situation is even more dangerous than the Xianggong period." ”
Xiaobai said: "We don't know, and neither does Gongzijiao." When the situation is cloudy, there will be no chance. The monarch is fought for, not waited! It's a big deal, it's just a death! Xiaobai would rather fight to the death than live a life under the fence. You can now choose whether or not to follow me back home, but there will be no second chances. ”
Bao Shuya said: "If I abandon my son now, I might as well stay in Qi at the beginning." However, the road from Ju to Linzi is long, the road is dangerous, and there are many wanderers, so you can't be unprepared. If we want to return home safely, we must borrow troops from Juzi. ”
Xiaobai entered the palace to lobby Juzi, but Juzi almost forgot that his country also contained such a vote. He was not at all interested in the grand undertakings and sky-high promises described by Xiaobai, and just said some cool things that were not painful. Ju Zi just gave him a lame man named Ju Qiuping, who guarded the city gate as a guard, and finally "wished him early success", so he sent Xiaobai away.
