Chapter 267: Iron-Blooded Zhao Dun, Summer Sun (4)
Fox Shooting Gu knew that she could not escape the blame, so she fled alone on the day of Fox Ju's arrest. His family and property left in the country were well protected. Zhao Dun later found out that Hu Jiaogu had settled in Baidi, so he ordered his subordinates to send his family and belongings over.
But this Yu Yu and the fox shoot girl have a holiday. It turned out that during the period of Yizhixu, Yu Yu didn't know that Fox Shooting Gu had been appointed as a general of the Chinese army, and he also treated him with the courtesy of a military doctor.
Of course, Fox Shooting Gu couldn't tolerate the offense of his subordinates to him, especially Zhao Dun's subordinates, so he tied up Yu Xiao and whipped him hard. People generally believe that Fox Shooting Aunt is making a big fuss, borrowing the topic to play, and showing Zhao Dun. Zhao Dun was also quite annoyed by this incident.
He assembled an army to escort the convoy out of the country, and his entourage said: "Jaji once insulted you so rudely, and now his family is in your hands, this is really a heavenly arrangement!" Please order them all to be killed in revenge for the hatred they have been humiliated! ”
He said, "No. The "Former Chronicles" says: "The enemy benefits the enemy, and the enemy is not the heir." 'How can the Master be polite to Jaji, but I rely on my favor to avenge my personal vendetta? With the help of favor, not brave; Grievances and hatreds, unwise; Harm the public with private interests, disloyalty. I am burdened with three sins, how can I serve the Master? ”
He did his best to protect the convoy along the way, all the way to the border. Fox Shooting Gu was waiting outside the country with an army, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be moved to tears.
On the Qin side, Qin Kanggong was very excited about the arrival of the Xian Contempt and Scholars Society. At a banquet for the Jin envoys, he said: "The confrontation between Qin and Jin is only temporary, and the two countries will come together sooner or later. The Jin State does not have a group of sons, so they can send the sons to the Qin State; In this way, the Jin monarch will come out of the Qin State from generation to generation, and the Qin and Jin will be able to marry forever. ”
laughed contemptuously and kept complimenting Qin Kanggong; Shihui felt that these words were very harsh, as if he was cursing the monarch of the Jin Kingdom for not dying well for generations; Gongzi Yong's heart was not good, and he lowered his head and was silent.
Xian contempt asked to take Gongzi Yong back to China immediately, but Qin Kanggong disagreed, he wanted to save face and make the escort operation grand and grand. So the messengers went back to their homes first.
The Jin Guo Office prepared various welcome work in an orderly manner. In the eyes of the Jin people, Gongzi Yong's return to the throne has become a fait accompli; As soon as he entered the capital, he immediately wore the crown of the monarch and sat in the seat where the previous monarch had sit.
But to everyone's surprise, the situation soon changed like a star, the previous plan was all overturned, and the prince who was made the new king of the Jin State suddenly became a rebellious minister and thief who usurped power and seized the country, and the friendly army that protected Gongzi Yong's safety was wiped out as invaders in the blink of an eye.
The problem lies with Mu Ying, the Duchess of Jin Xiang. Childe's mother wants to earn the status of the prince for her child, and the prince's mother can't tolerate the child losing the status of the prince. Zhao Dun previously thought that a young and weak woman would never have the ability to make waves, but he ignored his mother's special feelings for her son and the unique stubborn character of the Qin people.
As a result, every time the court arrived, Mu Ying carried the prince to the court and cried to the doctors: "What is the crime of the ancestors? What is the prince's sin? Why did the doctors abandon the prince at home and go abroad to seek an heir? After the new monarch ascends the throne, what will you do with this innocent child? What are you going to do with me, the surviving man? ”
The doctors bowed their heads and were silent, and none of them dared to talk.
This is not the end, every day after the court, Mu Ying chased the prince to Zhao Dun's house again, knelt outside the door and cried: "Zhao Meng!" When the emperor was dying, he entrusted the prince to you and said, 'If the prince can become a talent, the widow will receive your favor; If you can't become a talent, the widow can only resent you! Although the ancestor has passed away, these words still echo in his ears.
"Why did you live up to the promise of your ancestors, why did you break your promise? First the doctor will not abolish the king's life until death, and then see what you have done? What benefits did the Qin people give you to make you insist on betraying your promise? ”
Zhao Dun persuaded her to return to the palace with a dark face, but Mu Ying refused; I tried to get her to stop crying, but she still wouldn't. The people who watched the excitement had already gathered in many circles, and people were talking about each other, and some people even shouted: "Zhao Meng, you must answer Madame's question!" Zhao Dun had to use the clan armor to clear the field, and then stood by Mu Ying's side until she left.
Only then did Zhao Dun realize how superficial his thinking was and how reckless his actions were. The Chinese people gradually became resentful, and those who disagreed with Zhao Dun's political views secretly encouraged people's emotions, and the doctors' positions were shaken.
In the eyes of the Jin people, Zhao Dun became a villain and traitor who killed the son of the first monarch, colluded with the Qin state, and betrayed the country for his own petty interests.
Zhao Dun finally made a difficult decision: according to the will of Duke Xiang of Jin, he made the crown prince Yigao the king.
As soon as the decision was made, news came from the Qin State that the Qin army had escorted Gongzi Yong to set off, and he would be able to reach the Jin State in ten days. The office immediately fell into a state of madness, and the doctors asked Zhao Dun how to deal with it, and asked him to come up with a specific plan.
However, Zhao Dun locked himself at home and refused to meet anyone, only saying that he would reply tomorrow. The doctors went to find Xianke. After the exile of Fox Shooting Gu, Xianke was promoted to the left of the Zhongjun, and he was considered the mouthpiece of Zhao Dun.
Xianke said: "The Jin people have never been so panicked today due to the invasion of foreign enemies, what are the doctors afraid of? Is the Jin State not strong enough, or is the enemy too strong? This is just an ordinary battle, and if you can't calmly face the enemy army, are the doctors still qualified to be called 'Jin people'? ”
People are dissatisfied with Schenker's rhetoric, which they believe is not a matter of war, but of politics, diplomacy, and the credibility of great powers; So they accused him of having no opinions, just playing rhetoric and acting as a fig leaf for Zhao Dun. Xianke knew that he couldn't convince everyone, so he had to delay time, he said: "The final decision is up to Zhao Meng, and I am also waiting for news like everyone else, and he has also said that he will give us an answer tomorrow." ”
After thinking all night, Zhao Dun decided to go to war with the Qin State. The next morning, when the ministers went to court, they found Mu Ying sitting on the side of the throne with the crown prince in his arms, and Zhao Dun standing on the other side of the throne with a calm face.
